Are there any restrictions while undergoing IVF?
— Nishtha Sharma
Yes, there are a few restrictions that are imposed while undergoing an IVF treatment. Your doctor will recommend that you adhere to the basic guidelines mentioned below during the IVF process: Smoking: It is recommended that both the partners should stop smoking at least three months before beginning the IVF cycle and before ovulation induction begins. The effects of tobacco have shown to be toxic and harmful to a woman’s eggs and also the sperm count of a man.
Alcohol: Drinking should be avoided during the onset of an IVF treatment until one’s pregnancy test, and if pregnant, until the birth of the child.
Medications: It’s important to inform your doctor if you’re taking any prescriptions or over-the-counter medications. Some medications can interfere with the prescribed fertility medication, embryo transfer or may not be safe before surgery.
Vigorous exercise:
Intense physical activities like aerobics, weightlifting and running are not advisable during ovarian stimulation and until the result of one’s pregnancies is known.
Supplements: Herbal supplements should be avoided during an IVF cycle.
I have heard a lot about egg freezing. Is egg freezing a painful procedure?
— Nitul Mehta
Egg freezing is generally offered to women who want to protect their fertility for the future. Egg freezing or oocyte cryopreservation is a process in which a woman’s eggs are frozen (vitrified) and stored as a method to preserve their fertility. Vitrification is a method of ultra-rapid cooling, using liquid nitrogen. Eggs are then stored in this liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees centigrade.
A woman would need to take injections up to 9-11 days to cause growth of egg containing follicles in the ovaries. Once the follicles have grown in the mature range, egg collection is done under short general anaesthesia and the patient is generally discharged within three to four hours. Pain is not tremendous since there are only minor interventions that are made.
