For many couples who have been struggling to conceive for a long time, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a great surgery that brings hope.
In vitro fertilization involves extracting sperm and ova from the couple, synthesizing a fertilized egg through technology, and then placing early embryos into the female uterus to "grow roots". This process allows the embryo to gradually develop into a normal fetus.
Conceiving a child through in vitro fertilization is not an easy task, with many precautions required for expectant mothers after the transfer of the embryo. Otherwise, it may easily lead to errors in the embryo.
What should be the diet plan for after in vitro fertilization (IVF)? What should be paid attention to in terms of diet? After IVF, what precautions should be taken? Since IVF is an artificial conception procedure, it's not as stable as a natural pregnancy.
Therefore, there are many precautions that expectant mothers need to pay attention to after in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo transfer. Special attention should be paid to rest more and arrange the diet after IVF embryo transfer.
After IVF transplantation, one should start bed rest for 48 hours upon returning home.
You can adopt any sleeping position, but it is best not to get up except for using the bathroom.
After lying down for a long time and getting tired, you can also recline on the bed, but the angle of the recline must be less than 45 degrees.
2. After the transfer of embryos in IVF, avoid bathing for 48 hours to prevent cold exposure to the body.
3. After in vitro fertilization (IVF) transfer, expectant mothers should avoid vigorous exercise and refrain from activities that require strength. Jogging or cycling are both off-limits.
Walk at a moderate pace, as walking slowly is beneficial to health and safe.
4. Do not overwork, rest more and keep sufficient sleep.
Absolutely, it's crucial to get adequate rest. For working moms, it's best to take leave for a while and come back once the embryo is stable.
5. Maintain a healthy and optimistic attitude, avoid worrying about the stability of your pregnancy.
Negative emotions can affect physical health.
6. After fertility treatment, if the expectant mother experiences abnormal pain, bloating, vaginal bleeding, etc., she should immediately contact the hospital for immediate prenatal care.
After fertilization, it is crucial for expectant mothers to adjust their diet and make proper arrangements. Some dietary restrictions must not be overly indulged in to avoid affecting the stability and development of the embryo.
After in vitro fertilization (IVF) transfer, expectant mothers should opt for easily digestible foods. Following IVF transfer, expectant mothers need to rest and lie in bed for extended periods of time, resulting in a significant reduction in physical activity and the occurrence of symptoms such as decreased appetite and constipation.
Therefore, in terms of diet, expectant mothers should opt for foods that are easily digestible.
Consume more liquid foods, such as rice porridge and simmering soups that are beneficial for digestion and rich in nutrients.
2. Avoid constipation: During the in vitro fertilization transplant procedure, doctors may administer progesterone medications. These drugs can cause intestinal smooth muscles to relax and slow bowel movements. With limited physical activity during the post-transplant period, it is easy to develop constipation.
To prevent or alleviate constipation symptoms, pregnant women can eat more foods rich in dietary fiber to promote bowel movements.
For example, celery, cabbage, celery, lotus root, Chinese yam, etc.
Additionally, it's advisable to consume more whole grains.
Spicy and greasy foods should be eaten less.
3. To avoid diarrhea, which can disrupt the body's endocrine environment and may even allow bacteria or viruses to invade, thereby affecting embryonic health.
Therefore, during the convalescence period following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, it is essential for expectant mothers to maintain hygiene in their diet. Only consume thoroughly cooked food to avoid severe diarrhea due to consuming spoiled ingredients.
4. Avoid foods that can cause allergies. Many nutrient-rich foods, such as seafood, which are high in protein content, are often used for nourishment during the post-IVF cycle. However, consuming these foods can pose an allergy risk.
Many people are allergic to protein, and excessive intake can cause protein allergies.
Additionally, expectant mothers with allergies should be aware of their own allergens and avoid them to prevent allergic reactions during the transplantation process.
After IVF treatment, expectant mothers are advised to consume more vegetables and foods rich in protein, as these are beneficial to the development of the embryo.
1. Post-IVF embryo transfer, it is important to supplement with fluids and drink plenty of water. It is best to have a glass of warm water after brushing your teeth in the morning, a cup of soy milk for breakfast, and a bottle of high-calcium milk before going to sleep at night.
2. The first day after transplantation, it is best to consume liquid food, and a rich meat bone porridge is an excellent choice, ideally complemented with vegetables.
3. Main meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as soup noodles, porridge, and vegetable-filled steamed buns, to prevent excessive abdominal strain due to constipation from harming the ovaries.
4. It is best to drink homemade soy milk daily, as it promotes health and well-being, and soy milk can stimulate endometrial growth, helping to stabilize the embryo.
5. Consuming more grapefruit can help with pregnancy.
You can make a juice out of an orange.
6. After fertilization, avoid consuming spicy snacks such as fish slices and dried pork, along with green olives and orange juice. These are fine as occasional treats, but don't overdo it.
7. It is advisable to consume kiwifruit and apples daily, as well as supplement with protein powder.
8. After in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, expectant mothers are advised to abstain from alcohol, smoking, and avoid consuming coffee or tea.
Foods to Avoid After In Vitro Fertilization: 1. Crabs and soft-shelled turtles, which are high in protein from aquatic animals, can easily cause allergies in pregnant women.
Crab is cold in nature, especially crab claws contain a hormone that can cause miscarriage.
Turtles possess a strong function in unblocking blood vessels and dissolving stasis, but they also have the effect of miscarriage.
Early pregnancy, eating crabs and turtles may cause bleeding abortion.
2. Portulaca oleracea, also known as oxalis, is absolutely off-limits for pregnant women.
Mai tsai radix is cold and slippery, and has obvious stimulatory effect on uterus. Female patients who eat it will cause miscarriage.
After undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and after the convalescence period, don't overly worry about pregnancy stability. Maintain a normal mindset and follow a diet similar to that of regular pregnant women.
Following the concept of not significantly altering dietary habits after fertility treatment, it is advisable to maintain a relatively stable diet structure and dietary habits.
