What should I do about insomnia after embryo transfer in IVF?

Patient's question:

The doctor performed a blastocyst transfer on the ninth day of IVF with hCG 302. However, in recent days, my deep sleep has significantly worsened. Previously, I would fall asleep by 11 p.m., but now it takes me until after 1 a.m. to do so, and I am easily woken up by needing to urinate. My deep sleep has been very poor these last two days. What should I do? I used to suffer from neurasthenia, and taking melatonin helped a lot. Now I’m afraid to take it. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, this is likely due to discomfort during pregnancy leading to neurotic disturbances. It is recommended that you adjust your condition accordingly. Avoid drinking too much water and eating too many fruits before taking a nap in the evening. Take a hot bath before bed, engage in relaxation training, and listen to light music to help you fall asleep more quickly. Additionally, it is advised to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. Do not take medication on your own to avoid any adverse effects on you and the fetus!
