What will happen to IVF after implantation?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) - embryo transfer (ET) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology in which the embryos fertilized in the laboratory are returned to the mother's uterus for development. Once IVF implantation is successful, there will be a series of changes in the body, including changes in hormone levels, endometrial remodeling, and embryonic development after implantation. This article will elaborate from four aspects: hormone changes, endometrial remodeling, embryonic development and health care measures.
Hormone changes
After IVF implantation, the hormone levels in the body will change. After implantation of the fertilized egg, it will produce important hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and progesterone. The production of hCG will maintain the function of the placenta and enable the normal development of the embryo. At the same time, the secretion of progesterone will promote the development of the endometrium and provide an appropriate environment for the embryo. In addition, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone will also increase to maintain the nutritional supply required for embryonic development and regulate the systemic metabolic function.
However, some problems sometimes occur in the process of hormone changes. For example, the level of hormone may not be high enough, which may lead to the failure of embryo development or implantation. Therefore, after IVF implantation, the doctor will adjust the supplementary dose of hormone according to the change of hormone to ensure the normal development of the embryo.
Endometrial remodeling
After IVF implantation, the endometrium will undergo a series of remodeling processes. Before the implantation of the fertilized egg, the endometrium undergoes thickening and vascular changes to provide a suitable nutrition and growth environment for the fertilized egg. Once the fertilized egg is implanted, the endometrium will undergo further remodeling, forming the gestational sac and placenta.
The process of endometrial remodeling depends on normal hormone levels and appropriate blood supply. Therefore, in order to promote endometrial remodeling, doctors will combine appropriate drug treatment to improve blood supply and hormone levels. At the same time, patients also need reasonable rest and diet to ensure the supply of nutrition and reduce unnecessary physical stress.
embryonic development
After IVF implantation, the embryo will further develop in the mother's uterus. The process of embryo development includes cell division, embryo cavity formation, embryo sac expansion, etc. These changes are important signs of normal embryonic development.
There are still some risks and difficulties in the process of embryonic development. Sometimes the embryo will be blocked or stagnated, resulting in the embryo can not continue to develop. In addition, in the early stage of embryonic development, the abnormal implantation position of the embryo will also affect the development of the embryo. Therefore, doctors will monitor the development of embryos through regular ultrasonic inspection, and timely find and solve possible problems.
Health measures
After IVF implantation, patients need to take a series of health care measures to promote the healthy development of embryos. These health care measures include good eating habits, adequate rest, avoiding strenuous exercise and physical overwork.
Good diet is an important factor to ensure the healthy development of embryos. Patients should take balanced nutrition, including protein, vitamins, minerals, etc. At the same time, patients need to avoid eating spicy and greasy food to reduce the impact of gastrointestinal irritation on the body.
In addition, adequate rest is also essential for the development of embryos. Patients should try to avoid standing and tiring for a long time, take proper rest and maintain good sleep quality.
To sum up, after IVF implantation, there will be changes in hormones, endometrial remodeling, embryonic development and health care measures. These changes play a key role in the healthy development of embryos. Therefore, during the whole process of IVF, doctors will pay close attention to these changes, and make corresponding adjustments and treatments according to the patient's situation to ensure the success rate of IVF and the safety of mother and baby.
