Op. Dr. Erbil Yağmur
provided information about what couples undergoing IVF treatment should pay attention to.
Healthy Habits Should Be Adopted
Just as before IVF treatment, smoking and alcohol should not be consumed while IVF treatment is ongoing. It is important to stay away from these habits, which harm general health and also affect egg and sperm quality. Due to the scope of the process, it is also beneficial not to neglect healthy nutrition. A balanced diet is essential during IVF treatment, as always, to maintain ideal weight. It is very important to consume fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits, and to stay away from very oily, very high-heat cooked and unhealthy foods. Especially for women, regular nutrition stands out as a great necessity for their metabolic health.
Stress Should Be Avoided
Couples who apply for IVF treatment because they cannot have children naturally inevitably go through a difficult process psychologically. Anxiety about whether IVF treatment will be successful or not can sometimes cause problems between couples. IVF treatment is a process that requires patience and requires overcoming difficulties. Couples being exposed to stress in their daily lives can negatively affect their organisms. For this reason, stress management is very important during IVF treatment. In order for couples to stay away from stress, they need to focus on enjoyable activities, engage in hobbies and leave concerns about treatment behind.
The Process After Embryo Transfer is Very Important
After the embryo transfer, women can return home after resting for a few hours. During this process, couples should not go on long trips for 1-2 days. It is important for the expectant mother to meet a calm environment at home, stay away from stress and rest. Although there is no harm in doing simple housework, heavy sports should definitely be avoided. One of the most important issues to consider after the transfer is that couples do not have sexual interaction until a pregnancy test is performed.
