Mondo Parenting Updated on 2024-02-08

In the process of IVF fertility, patients will communicate with each other, and some of the content of the exchange is their own lessons learned, and some are hearsay, which can easily lead patients and friends to go into misunderstandings, which will have an impact on IVF**. Let's talk about a few misunderstandings in the process of egg induction and transplantation.

Myth 1: Ovulation induction can make people fat.

After entering the stimulation cycle, some patients find that they have gained weight after ovulation induction injections, which is indeed the case, because ovulation induction will increase the level of estrogen in the body, resulting in water retention in the body, and then weight gain or edema. However, you don't need to worry too much, after stopping the drug, the weight will be restored after the drug is metabolized.

Myth 2: Egg retrieval and transplantation are painful

The egg retrieval procedure can be performed under intravenous anesthesia for about 20 minutes, and it is over after a short sleep, so don't worry too much. The transplant does not require anesthesia, takes about 3 to 5 minutes, and there is a pinprick discomfort during the procedure, but it is tolerable. Both operations do not require hospitalization, and after a period of postoperative observation, you can go home if there is no abnormality.

Myth 3: Embryos should be completely on bed rest after embryo transfer.

Studies have shown that there is no obvious link between the length of bed rest and the increase in the chance of conception, but it is easy to lead to constipation, blood clots and other problems, so it is recommended that everyone rest more after embryo transfer, but there is no need to overstay in bed, and appropriate activities can help the embryo implant. In addition, it should be reminded that after embryo transfer, you must pay attention to regulating your emotions and mentality, and do not put too much pressure on yourself, the greater the pressure, the more likely it is to lead to implantation failure.
