IVF Transfer- A Critically Important Procedure

After the IVF transfer there are some activities restrictions that has to be taken by the women who have undergone the IVF transfer process.

This means almost total rest and even normal and regualr activities are restricted and she is advised to return to normal activities the next day. Till the pregnancy test is done, there are restrictions on the activities involving heavy bouncing of the uterus.

9 to 11 days post transfer of the embryo, a test is done to find out whether the pregnancy is confirmed or not. A blood test is advised for this pregnancy test because it is reliable and sensitive. After the discussion of the couple with the doctor, it is decided as to how many embryos should be transferred depending upon the quality of the embryo. There are chances that they might fail and not a single one will hatch so the doctor tries to judge the success of multiple pregnancy also.
