10 things that add to the success of IVF

Stress Free IVF

In Vitro Fertilization or IVF is a complicated process that highly depends on timing and accuracy. The success rate of pregnancy through IVF is 15-20%. But there are a few things that can help in improving the chances of an IVF pregnancy. And those are listed here.

  1. Diet

We are what we eat. And especially during or before the IVF cycle, try to maintain healthy eating habits. Avoid junk food. Do not make any major changes in your diet, like going gluten or sugar-free. One of the studies shows that eating a rainbow diet that is eating colorful vegetables increase the success rate of IVF pregnancy in women.

This rule is not only applicable for women but men too can stick to a rainbow diet to improve sperm health.

Some of the common food items other than fruits and vegetables that need to be included in the diet are fish, poultry, whole grain, and legumes. Healthy fats are important along with low-fat dairy products.

Avoid red meat and highly processed food, flavored or spicy food. Cut down on salt.

  1. Workout

Women going through IVF usually avoid or minimize exercise, thinking that hitting the gym may be harmful to future pregnancy. But this is a myth! Pregnant women are often advised to exercise and keep their bodies moving. And IVF pregnancy is not an exception. Women in between IVF cycles or in their trimesters can opt for simple exercises such as stretching and jogging.

Yoga is highly recommended as it has asanas (positions) specially designed for pregnant women.

  THESE 7 THINGS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT C-SECTION If you have planned a  c-section , you have probably done your research. You understand what a c-section means and the choices for making it more comfortable. Maybe you also went online to watch some videos and curate your playlist. However, people forget that this is still a major operation. Because they get their little one at the end, and as a result, they do not know the small and big things that sometimes happen when you undergo this form of procedure. You may get the shivers. If you have a  spinal block , you can experience spasms, which is a common side effect of the drug.
