The success of eco depends on you

A successful outcome of an IVF programme does not only depend on the doctors and embryologist. The woman who undergoes in vitro fertilisation can also contribute to a successful embryo implantation process. It is necessary to prepare in advance.

The women are advised:

• Refuse to take any medication (if it is not possible to refuse medication, consult a doctor);
• Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs of any kind;
• Reconsider their eating habits and avoid strict diets;
• Limit coffee consumption as much as possible;
• Avoid contact with people suffering from acute respiratory diseases and any other ailments that can be transmitted to the woman;
• undergo a detailed medical check-up.

After the embryo transfer has taken place, the woman should also follow certain rules and recommendations. Namely:

• Refrain from sexual intercourse until the pregnancy test has been carried out;
• Avoid hard physical work;
• Do not take hot baths or go to the sauna;
• Do not do sports.

After the embryo transfer the doctors advise patients to lie relaxed for a couple of hours. After the transfer and until the first pregnancy test after the transfer, you can go back to your normal life with just a few rules and cautions.

After 14 days after the embryo transfer has taken place, an hCG test should be carried out. HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin. It is a protein – a hormone that begins to be secreted by the membranes of the developing embryo after implantation in the uterus. During the 9 months of pregnancy hCG supports the normal development of the foetus.

An ultrasound scan should also be performed. The first ultrasound is recommended three weeks after the embryo transfer. The second ultrasound is performed 10 days after the first one to confirm the normal development of the pregnancy and to hear the heartbeat of the foetus.

It is important to consult your doctor at all stages of the programme and to follow all his or her instructions and recommendations. It is very important to take the necessary medication. During IVF the doctor will prescribe special medication to prepare the organism for embryo transfer, and afterwards to support the positive development of the foetus.
