How long to stay in bed for IVF

Bed rest is usually required for 48 hours after IVF. During the bed-rest period, you should try to lie flat, on your side or on your stomach, and try to move less than 45° when changing positions to prevent accidents. IVF involves removing eggs and sperm separately and placing them in a test tube to fertilize them, and then transferring the embryonic precursor-fertilized egg back into the mother’s uterus to develop into a fetus. Appropriate bed rest for women after IVF will help the fertilized egg to stabilize in the uterus, but prolonged bed rest and inactivity may lead to loss of appetite, constipation, etc., and in severe cases, may even promote the formation of blood clots. Therefore, after IVF, women must master the correct time of bed rest, and if abnormal abdominal pain, abdominal distension or vaginal bleeding occurs, they must consult the doctor in time and take proper treatment to stabilize and protect the fetus. In addition, the diet should be light and easy to digest, and it is not recommended to blindly supplement too much nutrition, and keep a relaxed mood, avoid excessive exertion as well as cold and flu, and so on.
