What are the contraindications for diet at each stage of IVF assisted pregnancy?

Many women who do IVF do not know what aspects need to be paid attention to at each stage. Here are some dietary precautions at each stage of IVF.

The diet of test-tube babies is divided into three parts in total

1. Pre-treatment diet for IVF

Because the quality of eggs and sperm is closely related to the physical condition and after the body is conditioned, the quality of eggs and sperm will be better and there will be a better embryo.

Please maintain a good living habit and mentality. Because bad emotions will affect the secretion of human hormones, which will also have a certain impact on the test tube. Manage emotions well so that you can leave the test.

Take the baby one step closer to success.


Vegetables: amaranth, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, pakchoi, carrot, cauliflower, tomato, gracilaria lemaneiformis

Meat: Animal liver, egg eggs

Fruits: pineapple, apple, peach, apricot, grape, raisin

2. Diet during IVF promotion and egg retrieval

When entering the IVF cycle, there are taboos in diet and conditioning. Since the duration of the promotion period is about 8 - 16 days, some women will experience discomfort such as abdominal distension during the promotion period. To reduce discomfort, women should take less

Eat multiple meals, eat more high-protein and easily digestible foods, control appropriate salt intake, and focus on a light diet.


During the promotion period, it also needs to be prohibited: staying up late, smoking, drinking alcohol, drinking coffee, and drinking strong tea. You need to inject regular and quantitative injections to promote ejection according to your doctor's advice, and do any movements that require turning over or twisting slowly to prevent eggs

Nest twists. If you detect more follicles during the promotion period, you must eat more high-protein foods and high-protein drinks to help you increase your urine output. After egg retrieval, in order to prevent women from developing ascites, it is recommended to drink more cattle

Milkfreshly squeezed orange juice, watermelon juice, winter melon soup and other diuretic drinks, and eat more easily digestible foods.


3. Diet after IVF embryo transfer

After embryo transfer, couples often get very nervous. They always feel that anything they do may cause the embryo to slip and cause the test tube to fail. Therefore, they spend most of the time lying in bed after the transfer and dare not even go to the toilet a few times.

But in fact, as long as you don't carry out large-scale movements and lift heavy objects, it will have no effect on embryo implantation, and taking more walks will be more conducive to embryo implantation! After transplantation, the diet should be high in protein, rich in dietary fiber, and easily digestible

Food is the main thing. After transplantation, try to avoid eating almonds, leeks, hawthorn, crab, longan, lychee, purslane, turtle, safflower, black fungus, argara, long-standing potatoes, hot spices (hot spices)

These foods may affect the healthy development of the fetus, lead to slow fetal growth, and even cause miscarriage and premature delivery.
