When all procedures related to treatment, stimulation of the ovaries, collection of oocytes, remained in the past, there remains one, but the most important event is the embryo embryo. Finally, something happened for which it all began and lasted so painfully long. By the way, among doctors it is not customary to talk about embryo implantation. More correctly to say - the transfer of embryos. However, the essence of the process does not change from this.
In order to ensure that all efforts are not in vain, it is necessary to be especially careful on the day of embryo implantation and several days after this. This applies to the behavior of a woman - do not rush headlong to plant potatoes or juicy order to glue the wallpaper. All this is not worth the experience, and for what it was all.
Behavior rules after embryo transfer:
- no physical exertion, bed rest for the first 10 days after embryo transfer. To get out of bed is possible only in extreme cases and to visit a doctor. The first few days are extremely important for the implantation of implanted embryos;
- absence of sexual contacts for the first 3 months after transplantation. This is very important - the first 12 weeks are extremely dangerous for miscarriages;
- strict adherence to the doctor's instructions;
- proper nutrition - it is important that the diet included protein food. Cook better for a couple or boil vegetables, fish, meat. You can drink fruit drinks, dairy products, green tea, rose hips;
- basal temperature measurement - every day at the same time. The results should be accurately entered into the notebook, to build a graph. Please note, if within 3 days in a row the basal temperature level is below 37 degrees. This is the reason for an urgent call to the clinic and meeting with a doctor.
Development of the embryo after IVF
The transfer of the embryo to the uterus occurs under the supervision of ultrasound, which is performed transabdominally (through the stomach). What happens after the injection of embryos - first of all, their implantation. The implantation itself is not the moment of pregnancy, it is necessary that the embryos are first implanted.
The development of the embryo after transference (replanting) with IVF occurs according to the same scenario as in normal pregnancy. The difference is that several embryos are planted by a woman. Get accustomed to all or several of them. Fatalities or superfluous embryos are removed, only 1-2 most viable embryos remain.
Doctors are monitoring the development of embryos embryos - they take tests for progesterone, hCG. They are carried out on certain days - on the day of transplantation, on the seventh and the fourteenth day after the transfer. There is no need for more frequent monitoring. So, for example, the third day after transfer of embryos is not indicative.
At the onset of pregnancy and its normal course, the woman does not need special control by the doctor. Everything goes according to the same pattern as during a normal pregnancy.
Death of the embryo
Unfortunately, not always embryos take root in the uterus. The implantation rate of embryos is quite low, and at the same time
Therefore, usually 2 or more embryos are transferred to the uterus, which increases the probability of long-awaited pregnancy. At the same time, the chance of multiple pregnancy increases. It is with the fact that more and more couples resort to IVF, they associate the increased number of cases of birth of twins and even triplets.
After the failure, that is, the death of the embryos transplanted to the woman, the special medical commission of the center where you underwent treatment, conducts an assessment of the situation and gives recommendations on the further actions of the spouses.
