How long does it usually take for menstruation to occur after egg retrieval?

Everyone wants to have a baby of their own so that their genes can continue. However, some women cannot allow sperm and egg to combine normally due to their own reasons, so there is no possibility of pregnancy. At present, in vitro fertilization is very common in clinical practice and is welcomed by many people, helping many infertile couples find a window. Egg retrieval is an important process in in vitro fertilization. So, how long does it usually take for menstruation to come after egg retrieval?

1. How to maintain the ovaries after egg retrieval

1. After egg retrieval, you need to eat mainly high-protein, easily digestible foods. Many fresh embryos will have ascites after transplantation. If ascites or pleural effusion is found, you should drink more fish soup, winter melon soup, watermelon juice, orange juice, milk, eggs, etc. These are good things for diuresis and increasing protein. After embryo transfer, it is particularly important to eat easily digestible food, because dry stools will definitely cause the abdomen to contract, which is not conducive to embryo implantation.

2. Vaginal bleeding may occur in the late period after egg retrieval, close to the time of menstruation. This is by no means a sign of not being pregnant. Patients need to adjust their mentality, continue with injections, and have urine and blood tests on time. Keep bowel movements smooth. For those with constipation, eat more vegetables, bananas, drink honey when necessary, and use enema to help with bowel movements.

3. During the 48 hours after egg retrieval and the time you start to stay in bed, you can lie flat on your back or on your side, except for going to the bathroom. But remember not to get up. You can lean on the bed, but the angle must be less than 45 degrees. When getting up, don't sit up all at once. Instead, turn sideways and slowly get up using your hands to support yourself on the bed. Do not take a shower or exercise within 48 hours after the transplant. For example, jogging or biking are off the table, and don't lift anything heavy until after the pregnancy test.

2. Precautions before egg retrieval

1. Insist on soaking your feet before going to bed, about 30 minutes every night, which can relax your mind and promote circulation.

2. Drink soy milk every day, it can promote the growth of endometrium.

3. During the egg retrieval period, remember to bring some sanitary pads, socks, and diapers. It is best not to wear a skirt because wearing a skirt can easily cause bacterial infection.

4. You need to eat breakfast in the morning on the egg retrieval day, mainly solid food, drink less milk, soy milk and other liquid foods, and avoid fasting to prevent hypoglycemia. Take anti-inflammatory drugs orally after breakfast.

5. Keep your body and mind relaxed. If muscle tension affects the movement of the ultrasound probe, the surgeon will increase the force of the operation, making the operation more difficult and increasing the patient's physical pain.
