Attaching the embryo to the uterus on what day is it?

Since the birth of the first child born in 1978, conceived outside the human body, in vitro fertilization has given the opportunity to millions of women to experience the joy of motherhood. At present, the procedure of artificial insemination is carried out in many Russian and foreign clinics, helping childless couples to acquire long-awaited offspring.

Stages of IVF

At the first visit to the clinic, the doctor carefully examines the woman, examines the history of the disease and gives a list of necessary for the procedure of analysis. It should be noted that the man will also have to donate blood and semen for research.

After the results of the tests are received, the doctor, provided there are no contraindications, enters the woman on the protocol. This is the name of one attempt at in vitro fertilization, which includes the steps described below.

1. Stimulation of the ovaries. The procedure, depending on the natural cycle of a woman, lasts from ten days to two weeks and is to get as many follicles as possible with the help of medications. For these purposes, women are prescribed hormonal drugs that cause rapid cell growth.
2. Puncture. When the oocytes in the follicles ripen, they are removed using a special device equipped with a sensor. Fence cells - a fairly painful procedure, and therefore carried out under general anesthesia. The more follicles mature, the higher the chances of a woman to become a mother.
3. Fertilization. While the woman lies on the operating table, the man gives the seminal fluid for future offspring. Embryologists, under a microscope, connect the parental cells of their parents and leave them for a day. The next day they evaluate the results and move the fertilized cells into a special solution, where they have to grow for two, three or five days.
4. Then, embryos are transferred to the uterus.
5. Supportive drug therapy is conducted.
6. A B-hCG test is prescribed, according to the results of which it is possible to judge the pregnancy that has occurred.

After how many days does the embryo attach to the uterus?

All women in the protocol are interested in what day the embryo is attached to the uterus after IVF? It is generally believed that the blastocyst, that is, the embryo transferred on the fifth day from fertilization, is attached to the walls of the uterus in the first day. Although sometimes it can happen and a little later. If the embryos are transferred to the uterus on the second or third day of their existence, then at least two days will pass before they are fixed.

The woman's mode after the transfer

Although the benefits of bed rest and has not been proven, most doctors tend to believe that it is better to lie down while the embryo is attached to the uterus. On what day to get up, you need to decide, based on the patient's well-being. The most optimal is to spend in bed two days after the transfer, then you need to move. This is due to the fact that the recumbent lifestyle provokes stagnation of blood in the small pelvis, which makes it difficult to attach the embryo to the uterus. On what day after IVF go to work - it's up to you. A certificate is issued in the hospital that exempts from performing work duties for one week, although in reality a woman who has undergone artificial insemination procedure is not incapacitated.

If you decide to go to work, try to sit at the computer less, making small walks during the working day. In addition, do not forget that you can not lift weights, and also jump and raise your hands above your head. Compliance with these rules will significantly increase the chances of attaching the embryo to the uterus. On what day after the transfer you can donate blood to the hormone of pregnancy, your doctor will tell. Many women before attempting a blood test try to find out their situation with the help of pregnancy tests. Doctors do not advise them to use and urge to wait for the day of analysis, as the hormone content in the urine is several times lower than in the blood, and the test may be false-negative.

And excess experiences negatively affect the attachment of the embryo to the uterus. What day is the analysis scheduled for? Agree, wait it should not be so long, but the implementation of the recommendations of doctors and patience will save you from negative emotions.

Signs of Pregnancy

Since the process of artificial insemination is accompanied by the intake of a huge amount of hormonal drugs, it is rather difficult to determine the approaching pregnancy by some signs. All the medicines used create a pregnancy background, which supports the attachment of the embryo to the uterus. On what day of the cycle did menstrual retardation occur, when artificial insemination is also not considered an important indicator.

According to numerous reviews of women who underwent IVF, the only sign of pregnancy is the feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen. It comes gradually, and this does not make it possible to determine on what day the embryo is attached to the uterus. Signs of pregnancy can also carry a serious threat to health, and sometimes the life of a woman. This refers to such a terrible satellite IVF, as a hyperstimulation of the ovaries.

Symptoms of hyperstimulation syndrome

This syndrome is a terrible partner of ovarian superovulation, which significantly complicates the whole process of IVF treatment. So, for example, if the syndrome develops immediately after egg collection, doctors postpone the transfer of embryos to the next cycle. The most characteristic signs of hyperstimulation are such sensations as:

• Raspiranie below the abdomen;
• Rare urination;
• Stool disorder;
• nausea, vomiting;
• dyspnea;
• Increased abdominal circumference;
• Pain in the area of the ovaries.

In addition, with ultrasound diagnosis in the abdominal cavity a free liquid is determined.

The syndrome can also arise as a reaction to the attachment of the embryo to the uterus. On what day you can feel the beginning of hyperstimulation, it is difficult to answer. Everything depends on the general condition of the woman and the number of cells taken from her.

Factors affecting the attachment of the embryo to the uterus

According to statistics, the probability of pregnancy after IVF is about 40%, and this is provided that a woman is younger than 35 years. After this age, the success rate is significantly reduced. As some doctors say, this lottery is lucky or not. And indeed, many women get to get pregnant with the first attempt, but there are also those who, before becoming mothers, go through the IVF procedure about ten times.

For such women, there are some recommendations to increase the chances of attaching the embryo to the uterus. On what day will be the transfer, what you need to eat, what to drink, how to behave, everything matters. So, first of all it is worth noting that it would be better if the embryos were allowed to grow and be moved on the fifth or sixth day after the puncture. In addition, to increase the chances of pregnancy, a few days before the transfer you need to start taking pills "Piroxicam". French scientists have proved that this drug slightly increases the chances of attaching the embryo to the uterus. On what day to start taking it, opinions vary: someone drinks a few days, and someone believes that it is enough to take one tablet before transfer. Also, the chances will increase if throughout the entire protocol to eat protein food and drink as much liquid as possible.

Life after a positive test

The most difficult stage on the way to motherhood is passed. To pregnancy was easy, try to walk more outdoors, eat protein foods, do not be nervous and carefully fulfill the doctor's prescriptions. Remember that very many pregnancies obtained by IVF are lost due to improper use of medicines. Also, do not abolish hormonal therapy yourself, wait for your doctor to do it. Usually, to support the work of the yellow body, "Urozhestan" is prescribed, it must be used somewhere before the 20th week of pregnancy. Stop the medication that is responsible for the development of progesterone, the doctor will resolve a little earlier - somewhere in the 16-17th week.
