What are the signs of IVF implantation
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of baby that is obtained through in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology. IVF implantation refers to the process of implantation and development of fertilized eggs in the uterus. Successful implantation is the prerequisite for IVF successful pregnancy. In the process of implantation, the mother will have some special signs and symptoms. The following is a detailed introduction to the signs of IVF implantation.
1. Early symptoms of abortion
The first week to the third week after IVF implantation is the high incidence period of abortion, which is called hormone dependent early fetal stage. The fetus before implantation hangs on the endometrium, which is easy to cause poor implantation due to endocrine abnormalities or other factors, leading to abortion.
At this stage, some early symptoms of abortion may appear, such as: brown secretion, abdominal pain, frequency of urination, breast pain, etc. These symptoms are similar to those in the early stage of normal pregnancy, so it can not clearly prove whether the implantation is successful or not. It needs to be judged by monitoring the serum hCG level and ultrasonic examination.
2. Mild vaginal bleeding
After IVF implantation, women may have mild vaginal bleeding. This is due to the fact that a small part of endometrium is shed when the egg is shed. This bleeding is usually mild, usually of short duration, and of light color.
Unlike menstruation, implantation bleeding usually occurs about one week before the expected time of menstruation, which is also one of the signals of IVF implantation success. Once such bleeding is found, women should contact the doctor as soon as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the implantation process.
3. Breast changes
After IVF implantation is successful, some changes may occur in the female breast. The change of breast is related to the influence of progesterone, for example, the increase of breast tissue, breast swelling and pain. The nipples may also become more sensitive and even warm.
These changes usually occur about a week after embryo implantation, but not all women will have obvious breast changes. These symptoms may last for several weeks and gradually diminish or disappear. Breast changes are one of the signs of IVF implantation success, but they are not the only criteria.
4. Abdominal discomfort
After IVF implantation is successful, women may feel abdominal discomfort or slight stretching. This is due to the enlargement of the uterus and the increase in endometrial thickness. Abdominal discomfort usually starts within one to two weeks after embryo implantation and gradually increases. Some women may also have mild abdominal distension or diarrhea.
Abdominal discomfort is one of the common signs of IVF implantation success, but not everyone will have this feeling. Conversely, some women may not feel any abdominal discomfort at all.
Although the above are common signs of IVF implantation, it should be emphasized that each woman's experience and reaction may be different. Some women may not show any obvious signs, but the implantation can still be successful. Therefore, the most reliable way to judge whether IVF implantation is successful or not is through serum hCG monitoring and ultrasound examination. If problems are suspected in the process of implantation, communication and consultation with the doctor should be carried out in a timely manner.
Summary
IVF implantation is a complex and delicate process. At this stage, women may have early symptoms of implantation, mild vaginal bleeding, breast changes, abdominal discomfort and other signs. However, the implantation signs vary from individual to individual. Some women may still be able to conceive successfully without obvious signs. Therefore, the most reliable judgment method is to determine whether IVF implantation is successful through serum hCG monitoring and ultrasound examination. If you have any doubt or discomfort, you should consult your doctor for professional advice.
