Firstly, it is necessary to pay attention to hormonal treatment accompanying embryo transfer to the chamber. utero (whether fresh embryo transfer a few days after egg retrieval or frozen embryo transfer). Doctors will closely control this treatment process by monitoring endocrine blood tests to adjust accordingly until it can be stopped.
Second, monitor the Beta HCG index regularly (fetal hormone secreted from the placenta) to make sure the fetus is developing well and ultrasound after 3 weeks from the day of embryo transfer to check that the embryo has entered the uterus. not yet.
Third, the doctor must monitor the patient's health status and history (miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, surgery, diabetes....) to make necessary recommendations.

You should wash vegetables and fruits thoroughly before use, should not eat raw or undercooked fish to avoid bacteria and parasites, prohibit the use of alcoholic beverages, should not use high-sugar beverages because of increased risk. gestational diabetes.
