IVF Treatment in India has proven to be a hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. While the procedure is going on, the female partner must take extra precautions to avoid any risks. The embryo transfer is one such process in which everyone is on tenterhooks, but with a few tips you can remain absolutely stress-free. Worry will only cause problems, so follow the advice below for a smooth and efficient embryo transfer.
Do a mock run of the Procedure
To take away anxieties you may have about the procedure and to address any queries, ask your doctor to do a sort of dummy run of the process before the actual transfer. While the doctor may disagree and consider it unnecessary, insist on it and ask why it cannot be done. It may sometimes help in evaluating the uterine cavity, can find any potential barriers such as a cervical growth, and can suggest whether an alternative catheter is needed.
Check for a Hydrosalpinx
A hydrosalpinx is a fluid in one or both of the fallopian tubes, which is usually associated with previous experience with a sexually transmitted disease or endometriosis and can make normal pregnancy almost impossible. The thing is, it can affect IVF treatment as well if the fluid leaks into the uterus and affects the womb lining. This can prove to be an issue with the transferred embryo. Thus, it is suggested and sensible to have an ultrasound scan and/or a hysterosalpingogram, also called HSG before you begin your IVF treatment. In this case, if it is found, the tubes may have to undergo treatment before the transfer process can begin.
The Importance of Testing
Do not rely on clinics that do not take essential pre-treatment tests seriously. If they do not ask for the results of these tests, especially the important ones, you can conclude that you are not taking the right path in the treatment. You may want to take a second opinion, and before starting the treatment, a few tests are a requirement. A few examples are the hormone profiling for the female partners who wish to use their own eggs, a semen analysis for the male partner, and a trans-vaginal scan of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus mid-cycles for female partners even if they are not using their own eggs.
Nutrition
Stay in contact with your doctor or nutritionist who will guide you on what you need to eat during the process. Certain vitamins and folic acid may have to be taken to reduce the risks of birth defects and other problems. Ensure you stick to the plan that your doctor charts out for you.
