Many IVF patients, after more than 10 days of ovulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer, finally welcome the moment when their embryo babies return to their “home”. The excessive concern of their family members will make them so nervous that they won’t eat, drink, sleep and sleep. So, do we have to be so nervous and careful? How should we organize this part of our lives? First of all, our patients should have a correct understanding of IVF, a high-tech treatment. The so-called IVF is a process in which we take the eggs from the woman’s ovaries and the sperm from the man, place them in a petri dish in the embryo lab, develop them into embryos and then place them in the woman’s uterine cavity, where they will continue to grow until they are born. The only difference between IVF and natural pregnancy is that the place of fertilization is changed to the embryo lab, but the rest of the process is not very different from your own pregnancy. I often get calls from patients asking me if they can eat apples, peppers, this and that. Sometimes I would ask them back, “Why can’t I eat them? They tell me that eating these things will make the lining thin and the embryo will not come to term. I would jokingly tell them: it seems that a new type of contraceptive pill has been born! These foods have such a good contraceptive effect, so many drug developers still buried in the experiment what? Just go straight to selling apples and bananas. Humans are omnivores, each kind of fruit, vegetables, food have their own nutrition, proper eating will naturally nutritional balance. You can’t just buy a bunch of them and sit there and eat them, making them stink everywhere, do these things have huge miraculous effects, more powerful than ovulation pills? What to eat, how to eat, how much to eat, each person should eat according to their own physical condition, gastrointestinal tract function, digestion and absorption ability. Generally, after egg retrieval, the affected person will have more or less discomfort in the lower abdomen, slight pain and swelling, which is caused by the egg retrieval surgery and a small amount of fluid in the pelvis, so don’t worry. These symptoms will soon disappear with the passage of time. If you have a lot of eggs and ovarian hyperstimulation, your symptoms will tend to worsen after the transfer of embryos, and you may even experience stomach pain, nausea, lack of appetite, inability to eat, and low urine output, so it is time to return to the hospital for treatment. After the transplant, my personal experience is to eat foods that are easily absorbed, easily digested and not too irritating according to your preference, and eat more high protein such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs and soy products, together with starchy rice and noodles, which help the absorption of protein. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, which help to strengthen resistance and reduce the production of pleural fluid and ascites, and eat less food containing more oil, that is, a low-fat diet. Eat less salt, do not make meals too salty and greasy, eat too salty will make the water is not easy to excrete out of the body, water and sodium storage makes thoraco-abdominal fluid aggravated. After the transplantation, the patient has a lot of love of bed, inactive, coupled with a fine diet, fear of going to the toilet, drink less water, it is easy to constipation, should eat more high-fiber food, conducive to defecation. Overly stimulating foods, such as spicy hotpot and hot pot, tend to agitate the delicate gastrointestinal tract, and diarrhea can occur. Both constipation and diarrhea can cause the contraction of the uterus to intensify and accelerate, “squeezing” the small embryos that have not yet settled or have just settled, increasing the incidence of ectopic pregnancy if they enter the fallopian tube and pregnancy failure if they exit the cervical opening. Of course, there are foods that have medicinal uses, such as contraction of the uterus, like hawthorn and pepper, which are not suitable for consumption. The current food safety is also a noteworthy issue, try to make your own safe and secure delicious meals, do not buy some outside food containing various names to eat.
