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.
