Things to note after IVF

The test tube transplantation is a relatively mature technology and a medical method to solve the problem of infertility between couples. However, we must choose a regular hospital and perform the test tube transplantation only when both parties are in good health. For test tube transplantation, it is necessary to select fertilized eggs of relatively good quality, and also to pay attention to whether the female's uterine environment is suitable for the development of the fertilized egg. You can learn about the precautions after the operation.

Precautions after IVF transplantation

When it comes to in vitro fertilization, most people currently only have a preliminary understanding, but their deeper understanding of this new technology is not so comprehensive and profound. People who have just undergone an IVF transplant should pay special attention to protecting their bodies. In addition to some daily precautions, for example, they should rest in bed for 48 hours after arriving home, except for the time to use the bathroom, they can choose to lie flat, on their side, or on their stomach, but do not get up, as this is not suitable for the success of the IVF transplant. You can recline in bed, but the angle must be less than 45 degrees. In addition, be sure not to take a bath within 48 hours. After the transplant, you should avoid strenuous exercise, such as jogging or cycling, but walking slowly is good for your health and safety. Try to keep your body in a quiet state and don't overwork yourself. Make sure to get plenty of rest and sleep. Apart from physical aspects, you must keep a normal mind and not worry about gains and losses. If you experience abnormal abdominal pain, bloating, or vaginal bleeding, you should contact a medical institution immediately so that you can receive immediate treatment to preserve the pregnancy. In addition, be sure to consult a doctor and follow his or her advice.

Symptoms after IVF transplantation

1. Abdominal pain after transplantation

Mild abdominal pain, sometimes like a pins and needles, in any location and at any time - this condition is usually not serious. Infertile patients tend to pay too much attention to their abdomen, which is mostly related to mental stress. However, if the symptoms of discomfort gradually worsen, you should go to the hospital for treatment. If you have sudden severe abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital immediately. If you experience abdominal pain after egg retrieval, you should be alert to internal bleeding. Sudden abdominal pain after egg retrieval and transplantation is often related to ovarian incarceration or torsion. It is common in patients who have more egg retrieval and ascites.

2. Bleeding after transplantation

The site of bleeding should be noted. Common conditions include: cervical and vaginal inflammation, and bleeding from the needle hole during egg retrieval. Generally, the bleeding will not be too much, but there may be a small amount of bloody secretions. If the bleeding is heavy and lasts for a long time, you should go to the hospital to find out the location of the bleeding and, if necessary, undergo an ultrasound examination to see if there is intrauterine bleeding. If it is intrauterine bleeding, don't be nervous. Generally, the doctor will advise you to observe for a while, pay attention to rest, increase the dosage of "pregnancy-preserving" drugs or come for a consultation, and be hospitalized for observation if necessary. If the bleeding is heavy, such as menstrual flow, or exceeds menstrual flow, you should see a doctor immediately.

3. Abdominal distension and chest tightness after transplantation

Symptoms of abdominal distension and chest tightness may also occur after test tube transplantation, which is mostly related to progesterone injection, reduced intestinal motility, and excessive rest. After the transplant, you should rest for 2-3 days and then go back to work, as long as you don't do heavy physical labor and avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure. However, if the patient's estrogen level is too high on the day of HCG injection or too many eggs are retrieved, more attention should be paid. Be alert for the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). If the symptoms gradually worsen, you should go to the hospital immediately.

4. Constipation after transplantation

If you find symptoms of constipation after IVF transplantation, you should pay more attention. Because progesterone drugs are needed to preserve the fetus after IVF transplantation, and patients tend to be more sedentary than active, have a more meticulous diet, and have reduced intestinal motility, which can sometimes lead to constipation. When the condition is mild, it can be corrected by adjusting the diet structure, such as eating more vegetables and fruits, a high-fiber diet, exercising moderately, and avoiding excessive bed rest. If constipation lasts for a long time and the above methods cannot relieve the symptoms, you can take laxatives appropriately. Please read the instructions carefully before taking them to see if they are contraindicated for pregnant women.
