What should I avoid after the embryo transfer?
Few things are to be avoided after your embryo transfer which will be instructed at the IVF center. At Femelife Fertility we give a written note of guidance for couples after embryo transfer.
- Avoid heavy exercises and strenuous work. Take rest and relax as much as possible.
- Drink a lot of water and pass urine frequently. This can reduce the possibility of urinary tract infections.
- Constipation may have adverse effects on implantation, so take more vegetables and fruits for a smooth bowel movement.
- Take proteins, vegetables, and fruits. Avoid spicy and oily food, you may have stomach upset with these foods.
- You preferably avoid having sex during these post embryo transfer days.
- Avoid traveling long distances
- Stop smoking and encourage your spouse to avoid smoking as well.
- Avoid taking alcohol and sugary beverages.
- Don’t take over the counter medications.
