Introduction:
When a couple/ person is a new parent, it is natural for them to ensure that they everything regarding pregnancy before welcoming the little life on the earth. But the anxiousness might reach the roof if you are to conceive the baby through IVF. This is not because the baby might be unhealthy or extra care is needed. The reason behind the panicky state of the to-be-parents is that they do not know anything related to IVF.
But do not worry, KJIVF, an IVF centre in Delhi, has prepared a very precise list of the things to be expected when you are going through the IVF process. The symptoms may vary from person to person and also on the term of their pregnancy. Nevertheless, symptoms cannot be ignored and nor can be the treatment. We’ve included a list of the top 9 things you may experience during IVF treatment.
1. Body Changes:
It’s not uncommon for women to gain a little weight during IVF treatments. Hormone injections can affect your weight and also your hunger levels. Additionally, depending on how many eggs develop or if you experience any mild ovarian hyperstimulation, you will notice that your stomach will feel bloated and that your jeans feel snug. This is normal and will subside when you start your next period, or within a few weeks of your pregnancy. If you gain weight rapidly (for instance 10 pounds in 2-3 days) you can call our IVF center in Delhi.
2. Increased Appetite:
This doesn’t happen to everyone, but some patients may experience an increase in hunger. While some of the medications may increase your hunger, more often an increased desire to eat is more emotionally driven. Just remember to eat healthily and keep in mind that the baby is going to receive all the nutrition.
3. Slight Risk Of Pregnancy Or Birth-Related Complications:
Having more than one embryo implanted during IVF raises your chances of getting pregnant with multiples, which increases the risk of premature labor and low birth weight. To reduce that risk, get genetic screening on embryos and then have only one transferred to your uterus. Babies born from IVF also have around a 1-2 percent higher risk of birth defects than that in the general population. However, the evidence is getting stronger that this is more likely related to the nature of infertility than the infertility treatment itself.
4. When You Get Your Period:
The first official day of your treatment cycle is the day you get your period. On the second day of your period, your doctor will likely order blood work and an ultrasound. This will be a transvaginal ultrasound. An ultrasound during your period isn’t exactly pleasant, but try to remember this is the same for every woman going through IVF.
These first-day ultrasounds and blood work are referred to as your baseline blood work and your baseline ultrasound. In your blood work, your doctor will be looking at your estrogen levels, specifically your E2 or estradiol. This is to make sure your ovaries are “sleeping.” That’s the intended effect of the Lupron shots or GnRH antagonist.

5. Feeling Distracted:
We’ve heard some women say that they feel like they have “pregnancy brain” while doing IVF. It’s not surprising considering many patients juggle careers and other obligations, in addition to treatments and thinking about treatment results. Being distracted or forgetful is fairly common.
6. Stress And Frustration:
Fertility treatments can be stressful for some patients and can be frustrating if you are physically feeling the effects of your medications. Utilizing stress-relieving practices like light yoga, meditation, or acupuncture can help alleviate anxieties.
7. Gastrointestinal Changes:
Constipation or loose stools are all common complaints of people who are in the process of IVF. Make sure to drink plenty of water and to eat foods that are high in fiber to combat digestive issues.
8. Ivf Costs And Risks:
IVF is expensive. It’s also frequently not covered by insurance, putting the treatment out of reach for many people who need it. Even after providing financial assistance from some organizations, the money falls short. Hence, one should have a backup plan or backup money for the case if IVF fails. Also, a proper financial plan laid out beforehand is a must for the couples since this process can be financially draining if the first cycle fails. At our IVF center in Delhi, we provide aid by helping people get loans so that they can complete the treatment that has been already started.
9. Risks:
IVF is generally safe, but as with any medical procedure, there are risks. Your doctor should explain all the possible side effects and risks of each procedure before you begin. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurs in 10% of women going through IVF treatment. For most women, symptoms will be mild, and they will recover easily.
For a small percentage, OHSS can be more serious and may require hospitalization. Less than 1% of women going through egg retrieval will experience blood clots or kidney failure due to OHSS. The egg retrieval may cause cramping and discomfort during or after the procedure. Rare complications include accidental puncture of the bladder, bowel, or blood vessels; pelvic infection; or bleeding from the ovary or pelvic vessels. If the pelvic infection does occur, you’ll be treated with intravenous antibiotics. In rare cases of severe infection, the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes may need to be surgically removed.
The embryo transfer may cause mild cramping during the procedure. Rarely, women will also experience cramping, bleeding, or spotting after the transfer. In very rare cases, the infection can occur. Infection is typically treated with antibiotics. But all of these have been found to be true in extremely rare cases. Most of the women here at KJIVF, go through an exceptionally smooth IVF process. With the best IVF specialists in Faridabad, the IVF journey becomes very easy to handle.
Although all the symptoms are not observed simultaneously in any patient, it is necessary to keep all of them in check. The above-mentioned risks of finances and health must not be ignored since both of them are the pillars of the IVF process.
At KJIVF, with the help of the best IVF specialists in Faridabad, it is safe to know that they provide the best treatment for the patients. The primary aim for us is to provide the patient with the comfort that they seek.
