Embryo transfer is the final step in a long journey towards building a family. Here are some tips on what to do after embryo transfer to increase success:
- Rest and take it easy.
- Increase blood flow to the uterus and keep it warm.
- Eat a healthy diet.
- Stay positive.
- Try to relax as best you can.
- Pamper yourself for a couple of days.
- Prepare for a relaxing evening after the transfer.
- Read directions from the clinic again.
It is important to follow all directions from the clinic and learn more about what to expect on the day of the transfer. While bed rest after embryo transfer is a myth, it is better to relax and stay upright. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, alcohol, and postprandial coffee. Waiting for the pregnancy test can be stressful, so it is important to stay positive and take care of oneself during this time.
