Do I have to lie flat after a test tube transplant?

Some infertile couples may choose to do IVF. When the male sperm and the female egg form a fertilized egg in the test tube, the embryo needs to be transplanted into the female uterus. After transplantation into the uterus, the woman must be careful not to move too much, otherwise it is likely to cause the fertilized egg to slip out of the body. So do you have to lie flat after the test tube transplant?

IVF is a very delicate process. Preliminary examinations are required before transplantation, and sperm and eggs need to be collected in the middle stage, and embryos need to be cultured before transplantation. In the later stage, which is also the most critical period, the embryo implants. There are many issues that need to be paid attention to after test tube transplantation. Knowing more knowledge can increase the chance of implantation.

Do I have to lie flat after the embryo transfer?

With the improvement of medical technology, the success rate of embryo transplantation is getting higher and higher. Generally, after the test tube transplant, you just need to pay more attention to rest. There is no need to lie flat on the bed completely. Lying flat for a long time is not conducive to embryo implantation. After embryo transfer, you need to avoid strenuous exercise, control your diet, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and supplement folic acid, which is very helpful for the development of the fetus.

What factors can affect embryo implantation?

1. Generally, after the embryo transfer operation, the pregnant woman needs to lie down and rest. Because blood can easily flow to the endometrium when lying flat, it is easier for the embryo to implant. If you stand frequently and lie down for too short a time, the embryo will implant more slowly.

2. Regarding the length of time it takes for embryos to implant after test tube embryo transfer, strictly speaking, the time of implantation is different for each person. Because everyone's physique is different, the time of embryo implantation varies. If the pregnant woman has a good physique and exercises regularly, signs of implantation may appear in about three to four days. The physical health of the pregnant woman herself will also have an impact. For example, a good mentality is an important factor in determining whether the embryo can implant successfully. Many pregnant women experience tension, anxiety, and worry after surgery, which can affect the implantation of the embryo.

3. Daily diet also has a certain impact on embryo implantation. It is very important to choose high-protein and easily digestible foods after surgery. Pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, do not eat only a single food, and do not eat cold fruits.

4. Breathe more fresh air in your life, and pay attention to ventilation in the indoor rest environment to ensure that the environment is clean and tidy.

In short, you don’t have to lie down completely after the test tube transplant, just make sure to rest. Therefore, don’t worry too much after the surgery and just let nature take its course. As long as you develop good living habits and maintain an optimistic attitude, implantation can generally be successful.
