During treatment and pregnancy, it is best to limit caffeine intake to 150-200 mg per day. This includes energy drinks, tea, coffee, and soda.

• If you’re undergoing IVF stimulation or had an egg retrieval, avoid traveling for at least 24 hours, especially if you were under sedation or anesthesia.
• Though it is safe to travel after an embryo transfer, it is best to wait until you do a pregnancy test.
• If you’re pregnant, it’s generally safe to fly, but always check with your doctor for any special instructions.

• Light activities like walking are fine.
• Avoid high-impact exercises like running, aerobics, and HIIT workouts during stimulation and after egg retrieval to reduce the risk of ovarian torsion.
• If you’re used to exercising regularly, you may continue low impact workouts but check with your doctor.

Yes, regular dental care is important. Let your dentist know that you might be pregnant, so that he can choose the appropriate local anesthetic. If you need an X-ray, wear protective shielding.

Avoid hot tubs and saunas during treatment and pregnancy.

The effect of hair dye on IVF and pregnancy isn’t well studied. It’s generally recommended to wait until the second trimester or check with your doctor before coloring your hair, including using henna.

Yes, but choose a place with good ventilation to minimize exposure to strong fumes.

Before starting IVF, discuss all your medications with your doctor to ensure they are safe during treatment.

Yes, lifting your toddler is fine.

Yes, there are no restrictions on swimming.

The effects of herbal supplements on IVF are unknown. Always inform your doctor about any supplements you take.

Your age, medical history, test results, and diagnosis all influence your success rate. Your doctor can give you a more personalized estimate.

Embryo grading helps assess how well an embryo is growing, but it does not provide genetic information. Genetic testing (PGT-A) is needed to check for chromosomal normality.

Even when transferring a chromosomally normal embryo, implantation isn’t guaranteed. The success rate is around 60-70%, as other factors also play a role in pregnancy success.

In rare cases, an embryo can split after transfer, leading to identical twins. Another possibility is that you had unprotected intercourse, which resulted in a natural conception.

Spotting is common and often caused by embryo transfer, vaginal progesterone use, or minor cervical irritation. However, if you experience heavy, bright red vaginal blood, contact your doctor.

It’s usually recommended to wait for one menstrual cycle before trying again, but your doctor may adjust this based on your specific situation.

• The first test is done 10-12 days after embryo transfer.
• If positive and depending on the value, another test follows 48 hours later.
• If the levels rise appropriately, an early pregnancy ultrasound is scheduled at 6-7 weeks.
• If the levels don’t rise properly, additional blood tests may be needed to check pregnancy viability.

Cycle Day 1 marks the beginning of full period flow, not just light spotting.

• Vaginal ultrasounds are best performed with an empty bladder.
• For abdominal ultrasounds (including embryo transfer), a full bladder is needed.

Your doctor/nurse will provide specific instructions. Some tests require fasting, while others should be scheduled at certain times in your cycle.

Fertility medications may be oral or injectable. Our nursing team will provide training and guidance on proper administration.

Yes, we recommend:

• Having a balanced diet rich in protein, healthy fats, and folic acid
• Practicing regular moderate exercise (avoid over-exercising)
• Reducing stress
• Avoiding smoking, alcohol, and excessive caffeine
• Maintaining a healthy body mass index (BMI)

Eggs can be stored for an indefinite period, but the success of future fertilization depends on age at the time of freezing.

Frozen sperm can be stored for years with no significant decline in quality.

After egg retrieval: Avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise for 3–5 days. After embryo transfer: Light activities are fine, but strenuous exercise should be avoided.

Egg retrieval is a short procedure (15–20 minutes) performed under sedation. You may experience mild cramping afterward, but most patients resume normal activities within a day or two.

Embryo transfer is a quick, painless procedure similar to a Pap smear. No sedation is needed.
