Embarking on an in vitro fertilization (IVF) journey is a significant step towards achieving pregnancy. At Nicosia Fertility, we want to share some simple tips and recommendations to help maximize your chances of success during the IVF process. Here’s what you can do to give yourself the best possible outcome!
Tips for a Successful IVF Treatment
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Being overweight or underweight can negatively impact your chances of pregnancy. Obesity can triple the risk of fertility problems due to hormonal imbalances, while extreme thinness can also hinder fertility. Following a healthy diet will ensure that your eggs are healthy and your body is more receptive to pregnancy.
Stop Smoking:Tobacco can reduce ovarian reserve and lower anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, which are important for fertility. Smoking also interferes with the transport of the oocyte (egg) and decreases the chances of fertilization. Quitting smoking will significantly improve your chances of success with IVF.
Stick to Your Medication Schedule: It's crucial to follow the medication guidelines provided by your doctor and take your medication at the same time each day. If you’ve been prescribed vaginal tablets, lying down for a few minutes afterward will help with absorption and increase effectiveness.
Embryo Transfer Tip: On the day of your embryo transfer, it’s helpful to arrive with a full bladder. The liquid in your bladder makes it easier to visualize the best place to deposit the embryo, enhancing the chances of success.
General Wellness: A good night’s sleep, adequate nutrition, and moderate exercise are key to supporting your body during IVF. Taking care of your overall health will contribute to a successful treatment outcome.
