Is the IVF transfer process painful? What are the symptoms of implantation after a few days of IVF transfer?

With the increasing social pressure, many young couples have suffered from infertility. IVF can solve this problem. So, is the IVF transplant process painful? How many days after IVF transplantation will it take for the embryo to implant? What are the symptoms after implantation?

Is the IVF transfer process painful?

The IVF transfer process will be slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. Anesthesia is not used during IVF transfer because the transfer process is very short. There may be some discomfort during the transfer process, and there may be a needle-like stinging pain at the beginning, but it is completely within the tolerable range. A few days after the transfer, you may still feel abdominal distension and pain, and the amount of secretions will increase, which means that the embryo may be implanted. This is good news, so don't worry too much.

How many days after IVF implantation

IVF is a long process. It requires examinations in the early stage, sperm and egg retrieval, embryo culture and transplantation in the middle stage, and the most important point in the later stage is implantation. Only when the embryo successfully implants in the body can it be considered a successful pregnancy. Many female friends have implantation problems and then have the embryo implanted again.

This is also a problem that many friends will worry about, that is, how many days after the IVF transplant will it take for the embryo to implant. It is normal for everyone to have such anxiety and doubts. After all, it has come to the last step and they don’t want to give up all their efforts. First of all, implantation is also about probability, so everyone must treat this issue with a normal mind. Even if the implantation is not successful this time, you still need to be full of hope and face it with a positive attitude. Everyone’s personal physique is different, so everyone’s implantation time after IVF transplant is also different.

Normally speaking, the embryo can be implanted in 5 to 8 days after the IVF is transplanted. Some people with good physical fitness may be able to implant in 3 to 4 days, while some people with average physical fitness may need more than ten days to implant. Therefore, don't be anxious, and be sure to maintain a happy and relaxed mood, which will help the embryo implant.

It is recommended that you do not take the test paper to test yourself when the time is almost up, as this will affect your mood. After about half a month, you can go to the hospital for examination and the results of the examination will be the standard.

How to make IVF implantation easier

The process of IVF is very complicated, and there is no guarantee of 100% success. Therefore, friends who do IVF will be very cautious and even nervous and worried during the implantation stage. Here I would like to remind you that during the implantation stage, you should maintain a relaxed and happy attitude. If emotional tension causes physical discomfort and disorder, the chance of successful implantation will be even lower.

So, how to make the IVF transplant easier to implant? This is a question that everyone is concerned about. First of all, after the transplant surgery, please lie down and rest for three days as much as possible. This is because it is easier for blood to flow to the endometrium when lying down, which is more conducive to embryo implantation. Generally speaking, the time for embryo implantation is mostly about eight to ten days. Therefore, before implantation, you must pay more attention. When getting up, don't sit up all at once, but get up slowly. In terms of diet, be sure to eat high-protein and easily digestible food, and a combination of meat and vegetables. Don't eat only meat. It's best to drink more fish soup. Try not to eat all cold foods and fruits. At the same time, to maintain good health, pay attention to the ambient air, keep the air flowing, and keep the environment clean and tidy, these are the most basic issues that need attention.

The most important point is to keep a normal mind and not be extremely nervous or worried during the implantation period. Such emotions are very detrimental to embryo implantation. Everyone must maintain an optimistic attitude.

Symptoms after IVF transplantation

1. Abdominal pain after transplantation

Mild abdominal pain, sometimes like a needle prick, in an uncertain location and at an uncertain time - this situation is generally not a big deal. Infertile patients tend to pay too much attention to the abdomen, which is mostly related to mental stress. However, if the discomfort symptoms gradually worsen, you should go to the hospital for treatment. Sudden severe abdominal pain should be treated immediately. Abdominal pain after egg retrieval should be alert to internal bleeding. Abdominal pain that suddenly occurs after egg retrieval and transplantation is often related to ovarian incarceration and torsion. It is common in patients who have more egg retrieval and ascites.

2. Bleeding after transplantation

Pay attention to the bleeding site. Common situations include: cervical and vaginal inflammation, and bleeding from the pinhole during egg retrieval. Generally, the bleeding will not be too much, and there may be a small amount of bloody secretions. If the bleeding is heavy and lasts for a long time, you should go to the hospital to understand the bleeding site, and if necessary, perform a B-ultrasound examination to see if there is intrauterine bleeding. If it is intrauterine bleeding, don't be nervous. Generally, the doctor will recommend that you observe temporarily, pay attention to rest, increase the dosage of "pregnancy-preserving" drugs or come to the clinic, and be hospitalized for observation if necessary. If the bleeding is heavy, such as menstrual flow, or exceeds menstrual flow, you should immediately see a doctor nearby.

3. Abdominal distension and chest tightness after transplantation

Abdominal distension and chest tightness can also occur after test tube transplantation, which is mostly related to progesterone injection, reduced intestinal motility, and excessive rest. After the transplantation, you can rest for 2-3 days and go to work, as long as you don't do heavy physical labor and avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure. However, if the patient's estrogen level is too high on the day of HCG injection or too many eggs are retrieved, you should pay more attention. Be alert to the occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). If the symptoms gradually worsen, you should go to the hospital immediately.

4. Constipation after transplantation

If you find symptoms of constipation after IVF transplantation, you should pay more attention. Because progesterone drugs are needed to preserve the fetus after IVF transplantation, and the patient is more sedentary and has a more meticulous diet, the intestinal motility is reduced, and constipation sometimes occurs. When it is mild, it can be corrected by adjusting the diet structure, such as eating more vegetables and fruits, a high-fiber diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding excessive bed rest. If constipation lasts for a long time and the above methods cannot relieve the symptoms, you can take laxatives appropriately. Before taking it, read the instructions carefully to see if it is contraindicated for pregnant women.
