What is the process and cost of egg freezing?
Embryo transfer in IVF is a crucial step in the entire treatment process, and its success is closely linked to future hopes. Many prospective parents have a series of concerns and confusions before and after the transfer, especially psychologically, as they bear great pressure and expectations. So, how should we address these common questions during the embryo transfer process to increase the success rate? Today, let's answer these frequently asked questions.
1. How to correctly "hold urine" before the transfer?
During embryo transfer, an appropriate level of bladder fullness is an important factor to ensure the smooth progress of the procedure. Too much or too little urine will affect the doctor’s ability to observe the uterine lining, which in turn affects the accurate placement of the embryo. Experts recommend drinking a moderate amount of water before the transfer, preferably drinking small sips repeatedly, choosing coconut water or boiled water, and avoiding drinking large quantities all at once. When you feel a slight urge to urinate but not too uncomfortable, it is best to stop drinking. This will provide optimal conditions during the procedure. About half an hour after the procedure, you can go to the bathroom and urinate without affecting the embryo implantation.
2. After the transfer, do I need to lie down continuously?
There is no clear scientific evidence that lying down for a long time after embryo transfer will increase the success rate. Studies show that prolonged bed rest has no significant impact on pregnancy rates and may even lead to poor blood circulation, increasing the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Practices in many countries, such as the United States, involve resting in the hospital for just 30 minutes after the transfer, after which patients can leave. Moderate rest is necessary, but there is no need to overly restrict oneself. Excessive pressure and anxiety are not beneficial for pregnancy. Moderate activity and keeping a relaxed mood are more recommended.
3. What can I eat after the transfer?
Diet after the transfer is generally quite flexible, but there are some recommendations to consider for the health of the body and the successful implantation of the embryo.
Foods to avoid: Avoid consuming foods that might impair blood circulation or be harmful to the embryo, such as sesame oil, longan, and other foods with blood-activating properties. Additionally, stimulants such as alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, and tea should be minimized.
Diet choices not only concern physical health but also influence pregnancy stability. Choosing foods beneficial to the body helps provide the necessary nutrients and support for the embryo.
4. Can my mood affect pregnancy?
Scientific research has proven that emotions are closely linked to pregnancy. When under stress or experiencing unstable emotions, hormone levels in the body may be affected, potentially interfering with embryo implantation. On the other hand, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude can help improve the success rate of embryo implantation. After the procedure, avoid excessive anxiety and don't focus too much on the result. Relax and stay calm to create a better environment for both your body and the embryo.
The key to successful embryo transfer is not just in the technical operation but also in how we scientifically regulate both our physical and psychological state. For every prospective parent trying to conceive, mental health and body care are important aspects to ensure the smooth implantation of the embryo.
