How long do you need to lie upside down to conceive? online consultations
For most childless couples who have undergone all fertility treatments, artificial insemination– only possible way give birth to your own child. Spouses must understand the need to strictly follow all instructions and recommendations of doctors. Expectant mothers are interested in how the procedure occurs and whether they need to lie down after embryo transfer.
Procedure
When the embryos reach 3-5 days of age, transfer is carried out. The doctor, using a special syringe with a catheter, implants one to three embryos into the uterus. The manipulation must be carried out under ultrasound control, which avoids trauma to the endometrium and determines the depth of biomaterial replanting. When the procedure is controlled by ultrasound, the pregnancy rate is higher than with a “blind” transplant.
Takes about 20 minutes, does not deliver painful sensations to the patient. The only thing that can cause discomfort is filling bladder. The number of embryos transferred depends on the wishes of the couple and the recommendations of the attending physician. If there are “extra” left, they are offered to freeze them or allow other couples to use them.
After implantation, processes occur in the body aimed at attaching embryos, which are invisible to the woman.
In the first two weeks, there are no signs of pregnancy. Sometimes, expectant mothers note the appearance of nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, lack of menstruation, and swelling of the mammary glands. Similar phenomena, not clear evidence of pregnancy.
Some women experience bloody issues, which may be one of the symptoms of transfer, or a harbinger of miscarriage. It is best to go to the clinic.
Post-transfer behavior
After embryo transfer, for a successful pregnancy, much depends on the behavior of the expectant mother.
- rest;
- nutrition:
- emotional balance.
Rest. Alternating between rest and walks fresh air. Some believe that if the mother did not lie down, the embryos will not take root and may fall out of the uterus. But this is a muscular organ that does not form an empty cavity. The studies conducted did not reveal much difference in the position of the embryos in cases where the woman was lying down or leading familiar image life, adjusting some points.
The main task is to ensure proper blood supply to the uterus. This is facilitated by a calm walking in the park, but not visiting stores for the purpose of making purchases.
Mood. You should relax not only your body so that your stomach is not in a tense position, but also your head. Throw out all negative thoughts and tune in to positive result.
Nutrition. It is necessary to properly plan your diet. Add to your menu protein food, dairy products, greens. Minimize or completely eliminate liquids containing caffeine. Do not consume products causing flatulence- some fresh fruits and vegetables, carbonated drinks, as well as those that are difficult for digestion - potatoes, baked goods. Drink up to two liters clean water during the day.
Contraindications
- in the first two weeks, abstain from sexual intercourse, in case of pregnancy - up to 12 weeks, it is during this period that pregnancy is most often terminated;
- not to accept hot bath, exclude visiting the bathhouse, sauna, it is better to take a warm shower;
- if discharge is detected, do not use tampons;
- It is not recommended to lift and carry heavy objects, especially those weighing more than two kilograms, avoid physical and nervous strain;
- You should not sit in a cross-legged position for a long time, as this position causes blood stagnation in the pelvis;
- do not engage in sports, heavy housework, avoid active physical activity;
- night sleep should be at least 8 hours, try to go to bed at the same time, not too late;
- remove skinny jeans, trousers, shorts from your wardrobe;
- do not self-medicate, do not take herbal infusions. Some of them have abortifacient. In any situation, consult your doctor
After the procedure, a woman should not lie down constantly, thinking that the embryos will take root better. IN last years, doctors refuse to prescribe to patients bed rest, since in supine position the flow of oxygen to the uterus and embryo is reduced, which can negatively affect the outcome of IVF.
Frequently asked questions for reproductive specialists
Although the implantation procedure is painless and short in time, patients experience anxiety, many have questions about whether to lie down or not after embryo transfer, how long to lie down, and in what position.
Why do you need to lay embryos? The woman is advised to lie down to come to her senses, calm down, and calmly get home. To be in horizontal position It is necessary for the cervix to close.
How long should I lie down after embryo transfer? On this issue, the opinion of doctors is ambiguous. In some clinics, patients are not allowed to get up for three hours, in others, they are not recommended to stay in bed for more than two. Most often, doctors agree that the optimal time is 15-20 minutes, sufficient time to close the cervix.
Is it possible to lie on your side after embryo transfer? Special recommendations Doctors don’t tell me how to lie down and sleep. The main thing they focus on is that you should not lie on your stomach at first. A woman can sleep on her side or back. Some clinics do not recommend lying on your side for the first 2-3 days unless the tubes are removed.
What position should you lie in after embryo transfer? After the embryos are transplanted, the patient is transported on a gurney to the ward and helped to lie down on the bed. Usually, it is advised to lie on your back, relax, and place your feet on a raised surface, such as a pillow. Hands should not be placed behind your head. Five days after the procedure, you can sleep in any position.
The success of embryo implantation is not related to how long the woman lay down or not after the procedure. It all depends on the capabilities of the body and the qualifications of the medical personnel.
Some women lay there for almost 14 days, but pregnancy did not occur, others - only 20 minutes after the transfer, and had a positive result. Pregnancy does not always occur, even after several attempts. It's important to get rid of negative thoughts and prepare yourself for a successful outcome of the operation.
good night! Please tell me now my beloved husband and I had a PA and we planned a baby and 1.5 days before ovulation we decided to end up there, is it possible to get pregnant? How long should you lie down after an eruption?
Skirdovany Elena, Moscow
ANSWERED: 01/08/2014
Good night, Elena! Yes it is possible. You can get pregnant. if PA occurred 1 - 3 days before ovulation or on the day of ovulation (live sperm can remain in a woman’s body for up to 3 days). But, unfortunately, it is impossible to say what the probability (%) of pregnancy is. It is impossible to accurately calculate the day of ovulation. If you lie on your stomach for 15 - 20 minutes, your chances of getting pregnant will increase. Good luck to you!
Clarification questionANSWERED: 01/08/2014
Yes, Elena! PA will be needed again and again. The more and more often, the more likely it is to get pregnant. You can get pregnant. only if PA occurred 1 - 3 days before ovulation or on the day of ovulation, be more active on these days sexual relations with husband. I advise you to include more seafood, nuts, honey, figs, dates, dried apricots, olive and butter, cheese, sour cream, meat and poultry. - at least 5 times a week. Moderate physical activity, swimming pool, sauna, massage, night sleep at least 10 hours a day, daily walks in the fresh air. This will make everything better man's health, and will make pregnancy more likely (he will have to “work hard”) If there is a 3-5 day delay in menstruation, this is the first probable sign the onset of pregnancy. Then you can check with a test strip. And if it turns out to be positive, make an appointment with a gynecologist, he will make an accurate diagnosis and give recommendations so that pregnancy and childbirth are normal. The health of you and your unborn child depends on this. Best wishes.
Clarification questionANSWERED: 01/09/2014
Elena! Folic acid (vitamin B9) is necessary for the growth and development of blood and immune systems, to create and maintain in healthy condition new cells, so its presence is especially important during periods of rapid development of the body - at the stage of pregnancy and in early childhood. Lack of folic acid can cause anemia in adults, and during pregnancy increases the risk of developing defects nervous system The child has. Folic acid is found in significant quantities in green leafy vegetables, some citrus fruits, legumes, wholemeal bread, yeast, liver, and is part of honey. The bioavailability of synthetic folic acid is higher than that of folic acid obtained from food. recommend that pregnant women consume 600 mcg, nursing women - 500 mcg, and everyone else - 400 mcg of folic acid. per day.
Clarification questionANSWERED: 01/10/2014
Elena, you need to see a gynecologist in any case. They will give you detailed recommendations. Folic acid is not a panacea for all problems. During pregnancy, both the child and the expectant mother need a lot of nutrients(proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, microelements), not only folic acid. All of them are in the products. Therefore, it is important that the diet is balanced and complete. Some substances (for example, vitamins) are recommended to be additionally added to the diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are wonderful preparations specifically for pregnant women (Multivitamin complexes with microelements) - this is better than just folic acid.

Good afternoon I have this situation. I gave birth to a girl, but she somehow doesn’t look like her husband. And the conception happened like this: we were in a public bathhouse. And we had sex. On this day there was ovulation. Could it have happened that in the bathhouse my husband got his sperm on his penis from another man who came before us? Could I get pregnant from bathhouse benches? Both my husband and I sat down and didn’t style anything. Or is it still her husband’s child? Could it still change? Very worried. And I'm waiting for an answer |

After two weeks I took a test - negative, my lower abdomen also began to hurt and there was scanty bleeding. I still don’t understand whether it’s my period or not. What is this? Pregnant or starting my period and the problem is me? |
You are already approaching thirty, and more and more often the thought appears: it would be nice to get pregnant and give birth to a baby! But for some reason, month after month passes, and the delay still does not occur, and you slowly begin to lose hope. No, don't despair! Let's figure out whether you are behaving correctly to get pregnant.
Rules for those who want to get pregnant
First rule. You definitely need to gain strength before things begin to arise inside you. new life. It is quite possible that conception does not occur due to your fatigue and overwork. Take a vacation, go to the sea, or just get some sleep; in any case, such a time-out won’t hurt.
Second rule. Feed your man right. Yes, yes, this is very important! After all, male reproductive cells must be strong and energetic in order to be able to fulfill their purpose. And to do this, serve nuts, meat, fish, but completely eliminate alcohol. Add vitamin E to your diet. In addition, take your man for long walks, preferably in the forest or park, along the seashore or to a river. To ensure the quality of sperm is at its best, try to protect the man from strong physical activity. Two weeks of such a “health” regime are enough to achieve good condition sperm.
Third rule. Keep in mind that frequent sexual intercourse is not the shortest route to pregnancy, on the contrary. Before that “main” sexual intercourse, you will have to abstain from sex for at least a week.
Fourth rule. Try to have this act fall in the middle of your menstrual cycle, that is, plan it for the period starting from the seventh day after the end of menstruation and ending about a week before the start of the next one.
Fifth rule. You will be surprised, but in order to conceive a child, it is better not to bring a woman to orgasm. The fact is that during orgasm, the cervix changes its position - it rises slightly, which prevents sperm from freely penetrating where they need to go. In the case of sexual intercourse, during which the woman did not have an orgasm, the cervix remains in place, and it is much easier for sperm to get inside. 
Sixth rule. Before starting the process of “making a baby,” a woman needs to douche. For this, a soda solution is used, which destroys pathogenic bacteria that can interfere with conception. Even if you are sure that there are no bacteria in your body and cannot be, still syringe: a weak solution of soda will not hurt you in any case.
Seventh rule. After the end of sexual intercourse, all responsibility passes to the fragile female shoulders - after all, the man has already done everything in his power. Under no circumstances should a woman jump up and run briskly into the shower. In order for the sperm to finally “fix” in the uterus and feel “at home” there, you need to lie on your back with your knees slightly bent. This applies to those women whose cervix is in a normal position. If you have a bent uterus, do everything exactly the opposite: lie on your stomach and remain in this position for 20 minutes.
Eighth rule. Don't think that posture doesn't matter. If your desire to get pregnant is great enough, you will have to forget for a while about a variety of extreme and exotic poses and settle on the most “correct” one - the “classic” one, that is, lying down. And you can have fun later!
Ninth rule. For 2-3 days, try to abandon all problems and difficulties, think only about the unborn child and that the pregnancy will definitely go well. This advice is not a tribute to romance; it has a completely “earthly” explanation. If a woman is nervous, the fallopian tubes may contract in the “wrong” rhythm, and this will prevent the sperm from successfully moving to its destination. Therefore, if you feel some nervousness, it is better to take a weak tincture of valerian or motherwort, try to relax, go to bed early, and drink at night warm milk or green tea with honey.
If you have regular sex life for a year, do not use protection and follow all the recommendations, but pregnancy does not occur, you can talk about a conditionally infertile marriage. Don't be scared: it's simple medical term, which should prompt you to undergo a comprehensive examination. In many cases, a little treatment is enough for the long-awaited conception to occur.
Causes of infertile marriage
The reason may lie in the deviation of health - both women and men. Moreover, it is imperative that both of you go to the doctor for an examination. The fact is that in approximately 50% of cases, infertility is a consequence of a health problem in a woman, in 40% - in a man, and in 10%, the cause of an infertile marriage is the immunological incompatibility of the couple.
In order to identify the reason that prevents you from having children, be sure to undergo all examinations and pass all tests. Only based on the results of these tests will the doctor be able to draw conclusions and prescribe effective treatment infertility. Very often the way out is a minor surgical intervention. Sometimes taking a course is enough drug treatment for conception to occur.
Another fairly common reason for an infertile marriage is psychological. Therefore, if you are referred for consultation to a psychologist or psychotherapist, do not consider this unnecessary, be sure to talk with a specialist! There are often cases when a woman’s subconscious rebels against pregnancy, fearing great responsibility, the end of her “free” life, future sleepless nights. At the same time, a woman may very much want a child, but on a subconscious level she renounces this desire. Only a specialist can identify such a contradiction; he will also correct the psychological attitude and help get rid of fears.
In any case, remember: cases of incurable infertility are quite rare, doctors and faith in yourself will help you almost one hundred percent.
Rule one. The most important thing that is required of a man is that his sperm be mobile. The fact is that men's sex cell carries all its “fuel” on itself. And it absolutely needs energy: if there is energy, the sperm will run far, if there is no energy, it will stop in place. And then there can be no talk of any conception.
Therefore, a man needs to be properly prepared in advance, at least for the last two weeks before the decisive sexual intercourse.
To do this, you need to feed him properly.:
The preparatory diet includes: meat, any nuts, vitamin E, succinic acid(it improves overall metabolism). This diet increases sperm motility.
In addition, before a man goes to bed to conceive, he must abstain from sexual intercourse for 2–3 days. Abstinence is necessary so that the required volume of sperm accumulates and so that the sperm has time to mature. To prove to their patients the need for abstinence, specialists usually cite a case well known in sexological practice. American married couple for a long time suffered from infertility. It turned out that the desire to have a child was so great that they worked on it two or three times a day. After the doctor forbade them to engage in excess, hypersexual Americans managed to conceive a child.
Rule two. Sexual intercourse for the purpose of conception should be one-time! The first intercourse is the most decisive. All other moments are actually just pleasure. This has scientific explanation. During the first sexual intercourse there is the highest concentration of sperm. After it, the concentration decreases by 2 times. And then, as experts joke, there will be only water.
Rule three. As soon as ejaculation occurs, the penis must immediately come out of the vagina so as not to splash a puddle of sperm. Then the probability of conception will be much higher.
(By the way, the same rule must be followed for another reason - if a man has some kind of inflammation, then spending extra time in the vagina will increase the woman’s risk of infection.)
Rule four. If you really want to have a child, it is advisable not to bring a woman to orgasm during intercourse. The fact is that during orgasm, the cervix rises, and sperm, like climbers, will have to conquer this peak, and, as you know, even men do not like to go the extra distance.
If sexual intercourse is carried out without orgasm, the cervix remains in place, a puddle of sperm easily covers the entrance to it, and sperm freely penetrates inside. However, some women assure sexologists that they became pregnant at the peak of mutual ecstasy with their sexual partner. But these are just their personal fantasies. In such cases, specialists, laughing, simply shrug their shoulders: they say, they were lucky, and thank God.
Rule five. It is very important to choose the right time to conceive. Typically, in the middle of the cycle, a woman is more fertile. At this time, the egg matures. Days can be calculated by basal temperature, which is measured, as you know, in the anus. In addition to the two days of ovulation (the maturation of the female egg), 5-6 days before it are considered favorable for conception - that is how many days the sperm lives, waiting for the “bride”, and all this time it is capable.
It is also possible to become pregnant within 6 days after ovulation, since the female egg remains viable throughout this time.
Previously, many religions specified a time when sex life was strictly prohibited. Usually 7 days after menstruation were prohibited. The custom was strictly observed: the woman was required to present a clean sheet, which meant the end of her period. And this was the starting point of the forbidden time. Therefore, the peak of sexual activity occurred precisely in the middle of the cycle, when the probability of conception was highest. Thus, religion strictly and categorically instructed women to become pregnant. However, there are cases where a woman became pregnant during menstruation. Experts consider this a failure in the cycle.
Rule six. It would be a good idea for a woman to douche before intercourse soda solution. The fact is that she often has inflammation, which she doesn’t even know about. Because of it, it is formed acidic environment, which is very harmful to the health of sperm - they simply die in it. Baking soda neutralizes the acidic environment. There is no need to be afraid of douching, because even if there is no inflammation, a weak soda solution will not harm anyone.
Rule seven. After ejaculation has occurred, little depends on the man. Then everything depends on the woman. She should definitely lie down and not jump right out of bed, even if she really wants to take a shower.
By the way, you also need to be able to lie down. In the normal position of the uterus and cervix, the woman should lie on her back with her knees pressed to her chest. If she has a bent uterus, she needs to lie on her stomach. In this position, the cervix will be able to sink into the puddle of sperm.
There are times when advice from a gynecologist is required. For example, if a woman has inflammation of the appendages, the cervix may turn to one side, and only the doctor will determine which direction. Then after intercourse you need to lie on the side where the cervix faces.
Rule eight. It is very important to choose the right position for conception. Among them there are those that promote pregnancy, and vice versa. True, the choice in favor of pregnancy is small: - it should be a classic position, that is, in a lying position. It is extremely difficult to get pregnant while standing: all the liquid will simply pour out. In general, all non-classical positions are of little use for pregnancy. Well, for fun, you can choose whatever you want.
There are exceptions to this rule. If a woman has a bent uterus, then sexual intercourse should be performed in the “back” position. Lying on your stomach or leaning on your knees does not matter.
Rule nine. After sexual intercourse, you need to completely relax, let go of everything. And maintain such a detached and elevated state for the next two or three days. If this does not work out and the woman remains waiting, restless, nervous state, it is better to take valerian.
Experts advise staying in a state of euphoria for a reason. This is necessary to avoid disruption of contractile activity. fallopian tubes. They are the ones who are known to propel the sperm to its destination. If the potential mother worries too much, the tubes contract incorrectly and do not move the sperm. The consequences can be unpleasant: either the long-awaited fertilization will not occur, or there will be an ectopic pregnancy.
