What to eat after IVF egg retrieval

In vitro fertilization is a new method of raising a baby. It mainly involves taking out eggs from a woman's body and combining them with sperm taken out from a man in a test tube. After the fertilized egg is formed and can remain stable, it is transplanted into the woman's body. However, in vitro fertilization requires the removal of eggs from the woman's body, a process that is very harmful to the uterus. Let's take a look at what to eat after IVF egg retrieval?

The general principle is that everyone must eat small meals frequently, eat light meals, and eat more high-protein and high-vitamin foods. You need to take in enough dietary fiber every day. We encourage you to drink small amounts of water multiple times. If vomiting occurs frequently, you can also eat liquid or semi-liquid food. You must ensure daily energy intake and supplementation, and pay attention to keeping your mouth clean and hygienic.

1. Liquid diet mainly refers to food that is in liquid state. It can be effectively melted into liquid in the mouth, is easy to swallow, and is conducive to digestion and absorption without being irritating.

2. Liquid foods include vegetable juice, rice soup, fruit juice, etc. Semi-liquid food is actually a diet between soft rice and liquid food, mainly including toast, cakes, biscuits, soda crackers, lotus root powder, etc. High-protein foods mainly include eggs, duck eggs, chicken, duck meat, etc.

3. Maybe normal people need to drink water every day. In summer, the amount of water you drink should increase significantly (2000-2500ml) because the ovaries are overstimulated, so it is easy to form pleural effusion and ascites. Therefore, you should increase your water intake on top of your normal daily water intake. At the same time, pay attention to changes in your weight, abdominal circumference and urine volume.

Everyone must rest on the day after egg retrieval, try not to think about major issues, avoid excessive emotional fluctuations, and do not take a shower on the same day. You can shower the next day. Everyone also needs to abstain from sexual intercourse for one week. From egg retrieval to transplantation, no one is allowed to place hot water bottles or other heating items on the abdomen to relieve pain. If you have a fresh transplant, you should also avoid any high-intensity exercise.

Now it should be clear what to eat after egg retrieval to prevent ascites. The main requirement is to eat more liquid and semi-liquid foods, eat more light and nutritious foods, drink more water, and try to avoid spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, you must ensure adequate rest, avoid excessive emotional fluctuations, and do not participate in strenuous exercise. Just take a walk.
