To lie down or not to lie down after IVF transfer? What a dilemma! After the IVF transplant, do you need bed rest or not? Almost every patient’s mind is torn, there are some patients in order to “safety”, day and night bed rest for up to a month, the process can be said to be unbearable ah! After treatment, egg retrieval and transplantation, women do need enough sleep and rest to relieve their tension, but the sleep time should not be too long, generally speaking, 7-8 hours of sleep is enough for adults, the appropriate sleep time can achieve physical recovery, promote physical and mental health, and maintain metabolism. But too much sleep can be counterproductive, making people lazy, weak and memory loss. Some people say, “I can promise not to sleep much, but I want to rest in bed for a long time, can I? We first analyze the psychology of these people: worried about walking, climbing stairs, car and other activities will make the embryo “fall out”, lying in bed can reduce the body’s activities, so that the whole body calm and quiet, then the embryo in the womb will be very calm and safe; listen to some people say that they are lying how many days to get pregnant, so they also want to do so The first thing is to try. The woman’s uterus is the most amazing organ in the world, she will become huge in the later stages of pregnancy and can carry the weight of the child plus a total of several kilograms of amniotic fluid, in the early stages of pregnancy, the uterus is very small, imagine how strong the flesh of the uterus is, they will give the embryo a very safe guarantee. 2. Trust your embryo The embryo is a living being, it has its own innate ability to survive, and according to scientists, the embryo will “wander” in the uterus, it will look for a place it likes to lay, it is not that fragile, it will not fall over or “fall out” because of the mother’s daily activities! The “fall out”! 3. Believe in science In 2008, a domestic center retrospectively summarized 560 fresh cycles, and the results showed that there was no difference in pregnancy success rate between going home to do the usual activities after transfer and going home to bed rest for 3-5 days after transfer. 502 embryo transfer cycles were observed in our hospital in 2005, and it was concluded that bed rest or not after embryo transfer did not affect pregnancy success rate. The results of studies at the vast majority of centers have shown no association between the length of bed rest after transfer and IVF success rates. You may hear from many people that they eventually got pregnant after prolonged bed rest. It is possible to get pregnant, but prolonged bed rest will not improve the success rate of pregnancy. 4. Believe in yourself You have to believe in your ability to get a baby and to give your baby a healthier maternal environment, too much bed rest is not helpful to improve the success rate. Normal life You may ask: Since you do not need to lie down more, what do you usually do? The answer is four words: normal life. You can go to work, take the car, take the stairs, go out, watch TV, listen to songs, read books and so on, and try to let yourself live a normal, happy life as usual, but also to take care of your body, heavy physical labor, strenuous activities are exempted, do not let yourself strain! You can rest in bed, but in moderation, when you feel unwell, muscle pain, distracted, lonely and bored, or even indigestion, constipation, you should know that this is a signal from the body, it tells you that it is time to get up! In short, relax and be yourself! A good pregnancy will come!
