TIPS FOR PREPARING YOUR BODY FOR FETER TRANSPORT

TIPS FOR PREPARING YOUR BODY FOR FETER TRANSPORT

When preparing for transfer day, it is important to ask your doctor all your questions, no matter how silly one may sound. If you're not sure what to expect or what to ask, read these helpful tips.

 

The big day has arrived, a day of transportation!

While this is a fascinating fact, it is also stressful for many. On the day of the transfer, your doctor will place your fetus in your womb.

To get pregnant, this tiny fetus must stick to the wall of your uterus (the lining of your uterus). Whether this will be successful or not depends on two things.

 

1) The quality of the fetus

 

2) The receptivity of your uterus

 

Keep your hormones under control

It is important to monitor what is happening to your body. Do not be afraid to ask your doctor what your hormones look like. The important thing in this case is to keep the hormones in balance. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe some medication to support this balancing act. Once you have found a doctor you trust, you are more willing to follow his direction on what to do next and have confidence in his suggestions.

 

Positivity

A little meditation can not hurt properly? Positivity can always be your friend! You can watch your favorite shows and laugh, meditate, visit a place of religious worship. This releases endorphins in your body which reduces your stress levels! 

 

Never underestimate the power of supplements!

Things like iron help keep your blood healthy and rich, L-arginine helps create a healthy lining of the uterus and prenatal vitamins are always a good idea.

 

After transfer

After the transfer, plan to stay relaxed but not stagnant. A little leisurely walking would be good, but more intense exercise such as sit-ups and weights would be best avoided for a few days. You do not want to overheat your body, so stay away from anything that can raise your temperature too much (hot bath, jacuzzi or sauna). 

Be patient throughout the process. This is the time to put all your problems aside, feel faith and trust and help your body cope with this journey.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

The association of IVF drugs with cancer risk is a major concern for women enrolled in these programs. But the plethora of bibliographic reports collected from credible scientific studies and published in reputable medical journals worldwide are reassuring and do not confirm this concern.

Of course not. In about a third of cases, infertility is due to the woman (female factor), while in a third of cases, it is due to the man (male factor). The remaining one-third is due to both (both men and women) or even to unknown factors.

The quantity and quality of a man's sperm can be affected by his health and lifestyle. Some factors that can reduce the quantity and / or quality of sperm are:

  • the alcohol
  • drugs
  • environmental toxins, including pesticides and lead
  • smoking
  • health problems
  • medicines
  • radiotherapy and chemotherapy
  • the age

Success rates vary at each IVF Center. Very important factors are also the age of the woman, the levels of her hormones and of course the sperm of the husband. Rates generally range from 45% or slightly higher for women up to 35 years old.

Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive after one year (or 6 months, if it is a woman over 35) with normal, regular sexual intercourse. In other words, when a year passes without the woman becoming pregnant, the couple should consult their doctor to determine the cause of the pregnancy and then treat it. We must all, however, be aware and not forget that the age factor is the most critical for female fertility and that the individualized approach of each couple is the "golden key" that solves the problem.

The number of treatment cycles a woman can undergo is not specified. It is certain that in our country there are high level obstetricians-gynecologists and organized infertility treatment centers, which offer impeccable medical services at this level. If there are correct indications (eg ovaries that respond to stimulation therapy, good quality endometrium, etc.) the success rate -especially with the use of newer techniques and biotechnological drugs, which show increased bioactivity compared to conventional drugs from urine- totals approximately 65%-70% after 4 cycles of treatment.

At the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Dr. Traianos we offer egg / sperm cryopreservation services for those who have a personal or medical reason and need this service. We use the most modern vitrification technique in the freezing of sperm and eggs.

The collection of eggs takes 10-15 minutes, it is not painful, it is done under intoxication and after the end of the process you return to your activities.

In general, experts agree that the fact that a couple has already had a child can be considered proof that there is no infertility problem in the first place. It is like a small test that has been done and proves that they "made it" at least once. On the other hand, however, we must be aware that things may have changed in the meantime and a problem may have arisen (e.g. the man may have suffered some inflammation, which affects the quality of his sperm or something has intervened that affects female fertility: an inflammation, a gynecological surgery, an abortion, etc.).

In any case, if a reasonable period of time (one year) passes and a couple is unable to achieve pregnancy, then they should, with the help of their doctor, investigate whether there has been a problem causing infertility.
