As we traverse the mysterious yet fascinating journey of human fertility, we often stumble upon questions that aren’t exactly the easiest to ask. In the realm of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), one such query lurks in the minds of numerous couples: Is it safe to have sex during IVF treatment?
In this comprehensive blog post, we at India IVF Fertility are going to demystify this topic for you. Here, we will unfurl the layers of information surrounding sex during the IVF process, answering your questions and providing the clarity you seek.
But, before we delve into the topic, let’s first understand what IVF entails.
In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, is a procedure where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body. It’s often recommended to couples who have been struggling with conceiving naturally.
The IVF process comprises several stages, including:
Each stage has its own specific implications on your sex life, which we will explore further.
During this phase, the woman is given hormones to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. While it’s generally safe to have sex during this phase, some women may experience discomfort due to enlarged ovaries. Hence, it’s advised to listen to your body and make decisions accordingly.
Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved and fertilized in a lab. It’s recommended to avoid sexual intercourse for a few days after egg retrieval due to potential discomfort and risk of infection.
Post-embryo transfer, the waiting period begins to see if the embryo has implanted successfully. There are differing views on whether to abstain from sex during this period. Some doctors advise against it to minimize any possible risks, while others suggest it may help due to the potential beneficial effects of semen on embryo implantation.
To ensure the best possible outcome, it’s essential to follow your doctor’s advice closely during each stage of the IVF process.
