Is It Safe to Have Sex During IVF Treatment?
According to research, sex during IVF
treatment has likely to improve pregnancy rates. There is nothing unsafe having
sex during IVF treatment. But during the treatment, many women experienced the
enlarged ovaries can make women uncomfortable during sex or less interested to
do that. There are a few stages during treatment where sexual intercourse is
not recommended. To know more about this treatment, you can consult Dr. Bhavana Mittal, the fertility specialist. She runs
one of the best fertility centre in Delhi.
Let’s have a look at all the stages:
Ovarian
stimulation stage: In this stage, the doctor
evaluates your uterus and fallopian tubes to make sure no problem require any
surgery. Many women will take medicine for the ovaries stimulation for an
average of 10-11 days. Unprotected sex is not recommended in this stage as
sperms may carry bacteria. Ejaculation for at least 4 days should be avoided
before the retrieval of eggs.
Egg
retrieval stage: Egg retrieval is performed
surgically. The eggs are placed and cultured in an incubator until
insemination. Doctors recommended to stay away from unprotected sex or to use
any jelly or lubricants because chances of infection are very high.
Embryo
transfer stage: Sexual intercourse is not
recommended in this stage at least for two weeks, you can resume after
consulting your doctor. The pelvic rest is recommended which gives the embryo
an average time to get implanted into the uterine wall.
Pregnancy
Stage: If your partner gets pregnant then sex does
not affect your baby but still avoid the unprotected sex. There are some cases
such as anterior placenta and pre-term labor pain, intercourse is not
recommended.
Always consult your doctor before having
sexual intercourse in every stage. To make your doubts more clear or to take
advice, you can visit the Shivam IVF centre. It
