"I took more than ten injections to promote ejection, and I lay flat every day after the embryo was transferred, but the result was still a 'whiteboard'-why is this?" In the waiting area of the fertility center, 29-year-old Xiao Min scanned the news from the pregnancy group, her fingertips showing weakness. Nowadays,"seeking children in test tubes" is no longer new, but many sisters have gone through the process over and over again, but they always "drop the chain" at critical moments. In fact, many times, it's not that your body is weak, but that those "little habits" that you ignore are quietly dragging down the success rate of test tubes. Follow the trend to lose weight and pursue the "bone feeling", work overtime and socialize continuously, brush your mobile phone until the early morning, feel so anxious that your hair falls out... Come and see, have you fallen for these "pregnant thieves"?
"People who are thin as paper are photographed" and "Right-angled shoulders and A4 waist are the standard features of goddesses"-not only ordinary girls have been "kidnapped" by social media aesthetics, but also many sisters who are preparing for pregnancy in vitro.
“”“,A4”--“”,.30-year-old Qiqi is a loyal follower of "beauty by being thin". She heard that "low body fat is good for pregnancy", so she directly changed her dinner to an "air salad". In three months, she lost weight to 92 pounds, and even began to be disturbed during her menstrual period. When the ovulation was promoted, the follicles on the B-ultrasound screen were all "listless". The doctor woke her up with one sentence: "The body fat rate is 15%, and estrogen is almost 'strike'. How can the follicles grow out?" Don't think that fat is an "enemy". For women, it is a "natural factory" of estrogen. If the body fat rate is too low, it is like a factory that cuts off raw materials. The ovaries will directly enter the "energy-saving mode", and ovulation will become a problem, let alone cultivating high-quality eggs. Those sisters who are so hungry that they see stars for the sake of "girly feeling" and rely on diet pills to carry on, seem to be "optimizing" their bodies, but in fact they are closing the door to pregnancy with their own hands. Remember, on the test tube road, healthy "slightly fat" is far more reliable than pathological "bone feeling".
"Drink before going to bed to help you sleep" and "you can't refuse social entertainment, you can only drink it"-many sisters use alcohol as a "decompression artifact", but they don't know that it is the "invisible killer" of eggs.
“”“”--“”,“”.Lin Lin, who works in a marketing industry, is used to using half a glass of red wine to relieve the pressure of overtime work. After the test-tube cycle started, she didn't take it seriously. She always felt that "it's okay to drink less." It was not until both transplants ended in failure and chromosome examination showed a high rate of egg abnormalities that she regretted it. Alcohol can directly penetrate the theca, damaging the egg's DNA, doubling the risk of chromosomal errors; it can also disrupt the hormone balance and make the endometrium "rough", making it difficult to find a "place" even if the quality of the embryo is good. Don't believe in the saying that "low doses are harmless" and "it's okay to drink occasionally". From the moment you decide on the test tube, the glass should be completely put away-your eggs really can't stand a little "torturing".
"I didn't choose to stay up late, it was forced by work"-this is the most helpless voice of working mothers.
“,”--.Wenwen, 34, is a project manager. It is normal to rush up on plans, hold cross-ocean meetings, and entertain customers until the early morning. Occasionally, when she is free, she still wants to watch Short Video to "recharge" her batteries. It often happens in the middle of the night without realizing it. She always felt that she was "young" and didn't panic until only 4 eggs were taken during the promotion of ovulation, and the quality was still uneven. The doctor exposed the truth: "Staying up late will disrupt the biological clock, the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis will 'disrupt the rhythm', the secretion of ovulation-inducing hormone will be unstable, and the follicles will naturally not grow well." To make matters worse, staying up late for a long time will reduce immunity and the "planting environment" of the endometrium will deteriorate. It is like fertile land turning into hardened mud. How can seeds take root? Stop using "busy work" as an excuse. Even if you go to bed 1 hour earlier every day, you are still "storing energy" for your eggs.
"Preparing for pregnancy requires a lot of supplements" and "stressful and losing appetite"-the two extremes of diet are quietly lowering the success rate of test tubes.
“”“”--,.Some sisters frantically hoard bird's nest and sea cucumbers, which are all high in protein every meal, and as a result, insulin resistance is found; others are anxious and do not want to eat and eat, and are too lazy to touch the staple food, resulting in serious vitamin deficiency. Reproductive nutrition doctors focus on: During the test tube period,"balance" is more important than "tonic"! Long-term high oil and sugar will make eggs "lazy" and slow down their maturity; lack of nutrients such as folic acid, zinc, and vitamin E will make embryo development "fuel deficient". Don't take out takeout at every meal, picky eaters, and don't blindly follow the trend of "sky-high supplements". Eating whole grains, high-quality protein and fresh fruits and vegetables for three meals is a better "nourishment" for your body.
"Panics when the mobile phone leaves you"-the "common problem" of this generation of sisters is also quietly affecting pregnancy.
“”--“”,.Many people are worried that mobile phone radiation will damage eggs, but ignore the invisible harm of "low-headed people": sitting for a long time will deteriorate the pelvic blood circulation, and the ovaries and uterus will be "hypoxia and ischemia"; swiping a mobile phone before going to bed makes the brain more and more excited, which directly exacerbates the problem of staying up late; not to mention the idea of "test tube failure" and the anxiety value will be filled in an instant. In fact, the impact of mobile phone radiation is far from that exaggerated. What should really be wary of is the chain reaction caused by "mobile phone dependence". Putting down your phone for an hour a day, taking a walk and doing yoga can not only improve pelvic circulation, but also relieve anxiety-your body needs time to "recharge offline".
What is more terrible than bad habits is the anxiety and internal friction of "excessive caution".
,“”.For the test tube, 42-year-old Sister Chen directly quit her job and "prepare for pregnancy" at home: she goes to bed at 9 p.m. every night and gets up at 6 a.m., walks gently for fear of "shaking the eggs", and checks everything she eats."Pregnancy preparation recipes" are accurate to grams. But the results of the promotion came out, and the number of eggs was small and the vitality was poor. She cried wronged: "I have done everything I can do, but why still can't I?" The psychiatrist woke her up with one sentence: "Your body didn't collapse, your emotions collapsed first." Long-term excessive stress will cause cortisol to soar, inhibit estrogen secretion, and the endometrium will "shrink" as a result, making it difficult to implant even if an embryo is put in; it will also affect the immune system and reject the embryo as a "foreign body." Test tubes are not "precision experiments". Too tight strings can easily break.
Many sisters focus on losing weight and staying up late, but ignore the destructive power of "small episodes" such as colds and diarrhea.
,,,“”.29-year-old Ms. Zhao developed a severe cold after being caught in the rain a week before the transplant. She had a nasal congestion and coughing to insomnia, and her body temperature soared to 38.5℃. Even if the transplant was successfully transplanted after the cold recovered, it ultimately failed. Doctors explained that colds and fevers can put the body into a stressed state, and the immune system "overworks", which may disrupt the stable environment of the endometrium and even trigger a "rejection response" to the embryo. 31-year-old Ms. Zhou developed acute gastroenteritis after eating raw and cold seafood during the ovulation promotion period. Frequent diarrhea not only made her dehydrated and weakened, but also accelerated intestinal peristalsis and stimulated uterine contraction, directly affecting the development of follicles. During the test-tube cycle, any "trouble" in the body may be amplified. These seemingly ordinary problems may become a "fatal blow" on the road to success.
After reading these "pregnant thieves", have you silently accepted the match?
“”,?Don't panic, the key to success in a test tube has never been to "force yourself to be perfect", but to "let the body enter the state comfortably." This "Guide to Pregnancy Points" given by the director of the reproductive department is simple and easy to implement. Sister quickly collects it
1.& nbsp; Don't be extreme in weight: Keep your BMI at 18.5-23.9, refuse to diet or blindly take supplements, and healthy "slightly fat" is more popular with your ovaries.
2.& nbsp; Quit alcohol altogether: Whether it's socializing to block alcohol or helping sleep before going to bed, don't touch alcohol to give eggs a clean environment for development.
3.& nbsp; Refuse to stay up late: Try to fall asleep before 11 p.m. No matter how busy you are at work, give priority to ensuring 7-8 hours of sleep to make hormone secretion more regular
4.& nbsp; Eat a balanced diet: Eat more whole grains, high-quality protein and fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less takeout, snacks and raw, cold and spicy food to avoid gastrointestinal problems
5.& nbsp; Moderate exercise: Take 30 minutes a day to do light exercises such as walking and yoga to improve pelvic circulation and enhance immunity
6.& nbsp; Put your mobile phone aside: Reduce the time you "look down", stay away from the electronic screen for 1 hour before going to bed, and avoid the dual troubles of staying up late and anxiety.
7.& nbsp; Relax: Don't trap yourself in a "pregnancy cage", communicate more with family and friends, cultivate hobbies, and reduce anxiety levels
8.& nbsp; Early prevention of minor diseases: Pay attention to keep warm, wash hands frequently, go less to crowded places, and prevent infectious diseases such as colds and diarrhea in advance.
“”,,.Get rid of bad habits, adjust your state, don't worry or panic, that little life will surely quietly come to you at the most appropriate time.
