First time IVF success – More tips from Dr Randy Morris MD-The BOARD CERTIFIED #fertility expert with weekly TTC tips on InfertilityTV
#IVFSuccess Tip #1 – Frozen Embryo Transfer #FET
In the last several years, the technology for freezing #embryos has improved dramatically. Survival rates upon thawing have never been higher and pregnancy rates with frozen embryos have skyrocketed. We now have proof that the chance for first time #IVF success with a frozen embryo is higher than with a fresh embryo.
Why is this true?
With these new freezing methods, the embryos are essentially the same whether fresh or frozen. The difference is in the uterus. When you stimulate the ovaries in a fresh cycle, changes in the uterus may interfere with implantation. These changes are more easily controlled on a frozen embryo transfer cycle.
IVF Success Tip #2 Diet
It is really difficult to do studies on the impact of diet on IVF success. The proof that diet or dietary changes has an impact is not strong but these are easy, common sense things to do.
A 2018 study found that patients who adhered most closely to a Mediterranean Diet had higher #pregnancy and delivery rates compared to patients who did not follow that diet.
What is a Mediterranean Diet?
Concentrate on these items:
— Fruits and vegetables – for every meal
— Whole grains- daily for example wheat, corn,oats, barley and quinoa.
— Eggs, cheese and yogurt – daily
— Change your oil to Extra Virgin Olive Oil for cooking and instead of salad dressing
— Fish and seafood – at least two times per week
— Avoid red meat and sweets
IVF success Tip #3 Evaluate for Chronic #Endometritis
There are three ways to evaluate the uterine cavity.
— #HSG
–Saline ultrasound and
— #Hysteroscopy.
Only hysteroscopy allows you to look for inflammation of the uterine lining. This is known as chronic endometritis.
Chronic endometritis has been associated with IVF implantation failure. Diagnosing and treating it before embryo transfer can increase your chances for a successful first IVF attempt.
