After more than 10 days of ovulation, egg retrieval and embryo culture, many IVF patients have finally received their long-awaited embryo babies. Today, their own child, the little seed that will continue their lives, will finally return to the warmth of their mother’s “palace”. This kind of expectation, excitement and nervousness makes them extra careful about what they eat, how they sleep, and how they move their hands after the embryo transfer, for fear that one careless move will cause the embryo baby to fall out. Is it correct to say “lie down for half a month” and “don’t get out of bed” and “lie down more and move less” among IVF patients? According to my experience in IVF clinical work for more than 10 years, especially in embryo transfer, my advice to you is: Normal mind, normal life. The first is that lying in bed for a long time will cause back pain and stiffness, but it will make the mind tense. Lying in bed, all attention is focused on the stomach, trying hard to try to feel the changes in the stomach, guessing where the embryo is? Such patients are afraid to even turn over. Some of them are afraid that the embryo will fall into one of the fallopian tubes if they sleep on their side. Some are even afraid of rolling over at night and stare at the ceiling, or put something on their bodies to prevent rolling over. They are tired and have pain all over their body after a long sleep. Second: prolonged bed rest can cause constipation, progesterone use after the intestinal peristaltic function is reduced, coupled with the patient is reluctant to relieve more hands, afraid to make a big hand, afraid to go to the toilet embryo fall out, nervous psychological factors can also cause constipation. The third: do not deliberately pay attention to what is coming out of the panties, the embryo is very small, not the naked eye can see, is placed in front of your eyes can not be found, due to excessive concern you will find more liquid panties, in fact, the vaginal secretions have always been, especially in the case of elevated estrogen, secretions will be more than the natural cycle, no matter how careful you are, it is impossible to find the shadow of the embryo in the panties find the shadow of an embryo. Fourth: prolonged bed rest is prone to the formation of venous thrombosis. The slow flow of blood after bed rest is especially dangerous for patients of advanced age, patients in a hypercoagulable state, and obese patients, increasing the risk of thrombotic disease. Fifth: Don’t keep trying to do the ultrasound to see if the “white dot” is still in the uterus. The two white dots that I showed you during the transfer are two small columns of air that mark the location of the embryo, and between these two columns of air is a drop of fluid that nourishes the embryo. If you go back for an ultrasound and can’t find the white dot, you will add to your worries again. I often joke to my patients, “Can’t the embryos fall out if you lie still? Then I’ll hang you upside down, just like a bat, and you’ll be pregnant!” They laughed at that, and I said to them, “A good mind is the golden key to success in IVF!” The uterus is a cavernous organ with a tightly packed front and back wall, and only during menstruation will menstrual blood and clots hold up the walls of the uterine cavity, and the cervix is like a narrow corridor with a mucus plug inside the cervical canal like a door that blocks the uterus from the inside and outside. The structure of the uterus is created for the conception of embryonic babies. To sum up, a comfortable and relaxed sleeping position is what you need, and more importantly, what the embryo baby needs. Who likes to sleep on a concrete floor and not on a soft Simmons bed?
