Preparation before IVF cycle
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which provides an important choice for those couples who have difficulty in natural pregnancy. Before the IVF cycle officially begins, some preparations are necessary.
First of all, through consultation and examination with doctors, we can understand our own and partner's fertility problems and the specific process of IVF. The doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination for both parties, including blood examination, endocrine examination, reproductive system examination, etc., to determine whether it is suitable for IVF.
Secondly, we need to understand the cost and time cost of IVF. IVF cycle may take months or even longer, and the cost is higher. Couples should be prepared psychologically and economically to ensure that they can undertake this process.
Finally, we need to understand the possible physical and emotional changes in the IVF cycle. In the process of IVF, some drugs may be needed, and these drugs may have some side effects. At the same time, IVF may bring some psychological pressure and anxiety, and couples need adequate support and communication channels.
Precautions in IVF cycle
The IVF cycle generally includes ovulation induction, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. In this process, there are some considerations that need special attention.
First, take the medicine on time according to the doctor's instructions. During ovulation induction, some gonadotropins are needed to promote follicular growth and ovulation. Couples should use drugs according to the doctor's dosage and time requirements on time to avoid missed or excessive medication.
Second, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor. In the process of IVF, the ovary will be stimulated by drugs, which is easy to cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Excessive exercise or fatigue may aggravate the symptoms. Couples should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, and keep moderate rest and relaxation.
In addition, the diet should be balanced and healthy. In the IVF cycle, a healthy diet is essential for cultivating good eggs or sperm. Couples should choose foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and avoid foods high in calories, salt, sugar and caffeine.
Care after IVF cycle
After the IVF cycle, successful embryo transfer does not necessarily mean successful pregnancy. Recuperation is a very important link, which is conducive to embryo implantation and healthy development of embryos.
First, couples should avoid strenuous exercise and mood swings. After the IVF cycle, embryos need a period of time to be implanted and developed. Severe exercise and emotional fluctuations may have adverse effects on embryo implantation and development. Couples should maintain a stable mood and relax.
Secondly, reasonably arrange food and life. Reasonable diet and living habits help maintain endocrine balance and embryonic development. Couples should keep a regular diet, avoid overeating or excessive drinking, and pay attention to keeping the indoor air clean and good personal hygiene.
Finally, follow up and check regularly. After successful embryo transfer, the couple should conduct regular prenatal examination, including blood examination, ultrasound examination, etc., and receive appropriate medical intervention and health care according to the doctor's guidance.
Summary of IVF cycle
The IVF cycle is a delicate and complex process, which requires the active cooperation and patience of couples. During the whole process, couples should strictly follow the guidance of doctors to avoid the adverse effects of unnecessary behavior and environmental factors on embryonic development.
Before the IVF cycle, couples need to have sufficient preparations, including understanding the IVF process and costs, as well as possible physical and emotional changes.
