Before IVF Procedure

starting IVF is an important step in your life. At Wellspring IVF & Women’s Hospital, we are here to help you at every stage. Many patients feel unsure about what to do before IVF procedure. You do not need to feel confused. Your doctor will support and guide you fully. You just need to care for your body in simple ways. Eat well, sleep on time, and stay stress-free. Follow these easy steps to prepare your body for IVF.

Stay Calm and Relaxed

Stress is not good before IVF. Worry can disturb your body. So stay calm. Try slow breathing. Walk outside. Talk with your partner. Calm mind helps good results. You can also try easy hobbies like drawing or listening to music. Sleep well and take one step at a time.

Get Good Sleep

Your body repairs when you sleep. So sleep at least 7 to 8 hours daily. A dark, quiet room helps good sleep. No phones or screens before bed. Early sleep is better than late nights. Good sleep helps your eggs grow better.

Healthy Diet

Food gives your body power. Eat fruits, green veggies, pulses, and grains. Avoid fried or packaged food. Take iron, calcium, and protein-rich food. Add eggs, curd, milk, and nuts. Eat fresh food and stay away from sugar drinks. Healthy food helps egg health.

Doctor Prescribed Medicine Only

Only take medicines your doctor gives. Do not buy over-the-counter drugs. Some pills may harm your eggs or cause delay. Always ask Dr. Pranay Shah before any new tablet. He checks your reports and gives only safe ones.

Avoid Smoke During Treatment

Smoking is harmful. It reduces egg count. It lowers success rate. If your partner smokes, ask him to stop too. Passive smoke is also bad. Stop all forms of tobacco now.

Do Not Drink Tea or Coffee Often

Tea and coffee have caffeine. Too much caffeine is bad. Limit to one cup daily. Caffeine affects hormone levels. Better to switch to coconut water, fresh juice, or plain water.

Keep Stress Away from Your Mind

Worry can stop your cycle. Stay happy. Do not think too much. Stay away from people who make you sad. Keep good thoughts. Think of your baby and future. Do yoga or walk to keep mind fresh.

Avoid Sex Before the IVF Cycle

Your doctor will guide when to avoid sex. It may affect egg pick-up or uterus lining. Some couples need to avoid sex for two weeks before IVF. Follow what Dr. Pranay Shah says. It will improve chances.

Start Prenatal Vitamins as Advised

Start vitamins like folic acid. They help your baby grow well later. Take vitamins as per dose. Do not skip a day. Folic acid helps prevent early baby problems. Your doctor will tell which ones to take.

Say No to Alcohol in Any Form

Alcohol reduces your IVF success. It lowers sperm and egg health. Even one drink is harmful. Stay away from wine, beer, and whiskey. Tell your doctor if you had a drink last week.

Keep Body Hydrated

Water helps cells grow. Drink 8 to 10 glasses daily. You can add lemon or mint for taste. Avoid cola and soda. Use a water bottle to track how much you drink. Keep your skin and body fresh with good water.

Do Not Lift Heavy Things or Weights

Do not carry heavy bags or buckets. This can harm your uterus. Avoid gym training during this time. Let your body rest. Ask others to help at home. Small moves are okay.

Give Your Body Enough Time to Rest

After each hospital visit, take full rest. Keep legs raised on a pillow. Do not walk too much. Sit or lie down and read a book. Let your body be calm and safe.

After IVF Procedure

After the IVF procedure, the couple must stay calm together. Support each other with love and care daily. Do not travel or do hard work for now. Rest at home and eat healthy meals on time. Take the doctor’s advice seriously every single day. Avoid stress and talk gently with each other. Keep your home quiet and peaceful for healing. Do not plan any trips or outings now. These steps will help both of you after IVF.

Avoid Heavy Tasks

After embryo transfer, rest is very important. Do not sweep, mop, or clean. Let others help at home. Lifting heavy items can cause pain or bleeding. Simple tasks like folding clothes are okay.

Practice Soft Activity

Do not lie down all day. It makes blood flow slow. After one or two days, try short walks. Move your legs and arms gently. Avoid jogging or jumping. Simple walking is enough.

Do Daily Exercise

Once doctor allows, start soft exercises. Stretch your hands, legs, and back. Yoga and deep breathing help too. Avoid crunches or hard moves. Exercise keeps your body strong.

Follow Doctor Advice

Always follow what Dr. Pranay Shah says. He checks your blood tests and scan reports. Take injections or tablets on time. Ask questions if you are confused. Do not change anything on your own.

Avoid Physical Contact

Your doctor will say when to avoid sex. Some couples must wait 10-15 days. It keeps the uterus safe. Wait until the doctor says yes. Tell your partner this is for your baby’s health.

Stay Positive Daily

Each day matters. Stay happy. Read books. Watch fun shows. Pray if it helps you. Stay close to people who support you. Avoid bad news or fights. Smile for your baby’s sake.
