Do I have to hold more urine before embryo transfer to see more clearly? Actually, it is not true. The reason for holding urine is to make the uterus visible under ultrasound, so it is fine to hold urine properly. Holding urine excessively may lead to overfilling of the bladder which may result in frequent urination, urgency, or even urinary retention, which means that you cannot urinate again. The bladder is close to the uterus and the bad state of the bladder may stimulate the uterus, which in turn may affect the attachment of the embryo. Therefore, when you encounter this situation, you should promptly discharge part of your urine volume. Do I have to stay in bed for a long time after the transplantation? Just after the transplantation it is usually enough to stay in bed for 1-2 hours, then it is to keep the uterus in a relaxed state. If you stay in bed until the pregnancy test, you may “hurt your qi”, which is not good for embryo implantation. Prolonged bed rest may cause body aches and pains, constipation, poor blood flow, and too much concentration on whether or not the embryo is in the womb or pregnant, which may lead to physical and mental discomfort, and therefore is not conducive to embryo fertilization. And there is research evidence to support this conclusion. No work after transfer? We all know that women with natural pregnancies are often found to have late menstruation and come to the clinic for examination. And they are still at work during the time when the embryo is in bed. As you can see, it is possible to go to work normally after a day or two of rest from embryo transfer, as long as you do not overexert yourself. Do you need to take a big supplement after embryo transfer? After the transfer, you should maintain the same diet and structure, balanced nutrition, and try not to eat cold, spicy or stimulating foods. Over-supplementation may make the body unable to adapt to the changes and the body’s internal environment may change, which may not be conducive to embryo implantation and development. Can I check pregnancy early after embryo transfer? Generally, 12-14 days after embryo transfer, we return to the hospital to test the blood HCG to determine whether we are pregnant. Some patients start to use the urine HCG test one week after the transfer, but at that time, the embryo has just been implanted and the HCG is very low.
is very low and the urine test paper is not sensitive enough to detect the pregnancy. When this happens, it often increases the psychological burden or bad mood. Therefore, it is recommended that you should not be too anxious and just follow the time provided by your doctor for the follow-up pregnancy test.
