Can I have sex during down-regulation?

Before doing IVF, both parties need to undergo various examinations to eliminate various factors that are unfavorable to pregnancy. After the examination, women need to continue taking ovulation-stimulating injections for a few days to facilitate egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization. But in fact, down-regulation treatment needs to be carried out before the egg retrieval injection. Down-regulation is a treatment and the most important step in the whole process of IVF. So, what are the common problems of down-regulation in IVF?

1. Can I have sex during the down-regulation period?

You can have sex during the down-regulation period. It is generally difficult to get pregnant during the downregulation period. If some patients get pregnant during the adjustment period, the use of progesterone-supported drugs will have no effect on the test tube embryo. After entering the ovulation induction cycle, you can have sex in the early stage, but you don't need to have sex when the egg grows to the middle and late stages to avoid the occurrence of ovarian pedicle torsion or premature ovulation. It is strictly forbidden to have sex for two weeks after egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization. Sexual intercourse is prohibited for two weeks after test tube transplantation. If you are not pregnant, you can have sex after the menstruation is over. If you are pregnant, sexual intercourse is prohibited before 12 weeks of pregnancy.

2. Common problems during the downgrade period

1. It is very important to cooperate closely with the attending physician's treatment during the down-regulation period. You must understand that no matter how good the doctor or the Chinese medicine practitioner is, problems will arise once they encounter a patient they do not trust. IVF is a long process. During this period, you need to do your best to trust your primary care physician and strictly follow the doctor's instructions for treatment;

Do not eat foods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as red dates and longans. The diet should be diversified, and various nutrients should be taken in a balanced manner, with fruits and milk protein foods as the main ones;

3. Also carry out appropriate exercise. During the down-regulation period, you can carry out appropriate exercise, especially for women with polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity. Losing fat is conducive to obtaining high-quality eggs and achieving successful pregnancy;

4. Also, it is important to maintain a stable life and a happy mood. Don’t be too anxious during the adjustment period and treat it with a positive attitude;
