Can I have sex after taking IVF injection?

In vitro fertilization provides more and more couples with the possibility of having children, but it also requires a longer period of preparation for pregnancy before undergoing in vitro fertilization. Before in vitro fertilization, in order to promote the release of eggs in the female body, doctors will give women an ovulation-stimulating injection. There are many things to pay attention to after injecting the ovulation-stimulating injection, so as to promote the better discharge of eggs. So, can you have sex after injecting the ovulation-stimulating injection?

Can I have sex after taking ovulation-stimulating injections?

Ovulation will occur within 36 hours after the ovulation-stimulating injection. In this case, you can have sex for three consecutive days. It is very likely that you will successfully conceive during these three days. During the pregnancy preparation stage, both parties should not drink alcohol or eat foods that are bad for the fetus, and you should get enough sleep.

Regular hospitals have strict restrictions on the use of this type of drug, and doctors without endocrine expertise must not use it indiscriminately. Because adult women generally ovulate one egg per month, long-term use of ovulation-inducing drugs can lead to ovarian overstimulation, making them prone to ovarian cysts and even ovarian tumors. This is especially true for gonadotropin, whose indications are difficult to grasp. Its biggest complication is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and severe clinical manifestations include abdominal distension, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, and even life-threatening conditions. [2] If a woman does not have ovulatory dysfunction, taking this drug may lead to multiple births. If the number of twins is too large, she will need to undergo fetal reduction surgery, which is a cruel thing for both the parents and the fetus. Therefore, this drug must be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.

What are the taboos of sex?

1. Do not have sex during menstruation. During the menstrual period, the acidic secretions in the vagina are neutralized by menstrual blood and become alkaline, becoming a good bacterial culture medium. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can easily bring in bacteria. At this time, the female's immunity will decrease. Once infected, it will cause inflammation of the reproductive organs, which will easily make women suffer from endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also form anti-sperm antibodies in the body, which seriously endangers women's health and even leads to infertility. If a woman already has chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, having sex during menstruation will cause an acute attack. Having sex during menstruation can also aggravate uterine congestion, increase menstrual blood flow, prolong menstruation, or worsen menstrual discomfort. At the same time, it will also lead to the occurrence of inflammation in men.

2. It is not advisable to have sex if you have severe menstrual irregularities. When the menstrual period is prolonged, the menstrual blood volume is heavy, and the cycle is particularly irregular, it is best to regulate the menstruation before resuming sexual life. Otherwise, under the influence of sexual stimulation, the irregular menstruation phenomenon may sometimes be aggravated.

3. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, the placenta has not yet grown firmly in the uterus, and sexual intercourse can easily stimulate uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage. In the late stages of pregnancy, sexual intercourse can easily lead to premature birth, uterine bleeding, or puerperal fever. Sexual activity should also be moderate during the remaining months of pregnancy. The movements should not be too intense and should not put excessive pressure on the female abdomen.
