IVF is the last hope for infertility patients to conceive and is chosen by many infertility patients. But the cycle of IVF is longer, can many patients cohabit during consultation with IVF for ovulation promotion? The IVF cycle is relatively long, and coupled with transplant pregnancy, it will be a long wait for pregnancy in October. Can we have sexual intercourse during IVF ovulation promotion? Here comes the answer!

What is IVF ovulation promotion?

The natural ovulation cycle of women generally only has one dominant follicle (sometimes more than one), and if this egg is used for in vitro fertilization, at most one embryo can be produced. There is no choice during embryo transfer. The pregnancy rate of embryo transfer is very low. Therefore, it is necessary to use controlled ovarian hyperstimulation to enhance and improve ovarian function, in order to achieve the goal of obtaining multiple healthy eggs without being restricted by natural cycles. The assisted pregnancy steps of in vitro fertilization include early examination, ovulation induction, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, etc. In order to ensure the quality of the egg before retrieval, generally speaking, during the period of using the descending needle for ovulation induction and before entering the controlled ovulation cycle, sexual intercourse can be carried out. However, sexual intercourse during the downregulation period may also affect hormone secretion, causing downregulation to fail.

As female ovarian follicles develop, women may feel swelling and discomfort in their lower abdomen, especially for women with polycystic ovary syndrome. In the later stages, the volume of the ovaries will greatly occupy the entire pelvic cavity. At this point, if the movements are too rough or intense, due to changes in posture, the ovaries are prone to torsion, leading to insufficient blood supply to the ovaries. In severe cases, one side of the ovaries needs to be removed. Therefore, cohabitation is not recommended during the promotion period. The ovulation induction cycle in IVF is the stage of storing eggs. During the process of egg growth, early sexual intercourse has little effect, but it is important to prevent reproductive tract infections. It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse during the later stages of ovulation induction, as a few follicles may mature prematurely as they gradually grow. During this period, if sexual intercourse occurs, it may lead to premature ovulation of the eggs, preventing them from reaching maturity to aid in pregnancy.

Can IVF have sexual intercourse after pregnancy? IVF is not easy to come from, and it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse in the first three months and late pregnancy. During the first three months of pregnancy, sexual intercourse can affect vaginal hygiene and stimulate uterine contractions. At this time, expectant mothers have weak resistance and are prone to vaginal infections. Therefore, expectant parents do not recommend sexual intercourse in the first three months after successful pregnancy. After 8 months of late pregnancy, due to rapid fetal growth, the uterus significantly increases. Any external stimulation is very sensitive and can easily cause premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, or intrauterine infections, so sexual intercourse is not recommended in late pregnancy.
