IVF treatment is applied when the couple cannot achieve pregnancy despite having unprotected and regular sexual intercourse for a year. IVF treatment is the treatment method with the highest success rate. For this reason, expectant mothers and fathers are curious about what pregnancy symptoms they will experience after treatment.
Pregnancy symptoms after IVF
In IVF treatment, a blood pregnancy test is performed 12-14 days after embryo transfer. This test determines whether the woman is pregnant. However, during this waiting phase, the couple may notice signs of pregnancy. Since the periods when the blood pregnancy test will be performed coincide with the menstrual period, the expectant mother may experience bleeding in various situations. Experts will inform whether this bleeding is menstrual or implantation bleeding. Even if the expectant mother experiences bleeding, she should definitely have a blood pregnancy test and consult a specialist immediately when bleeding occurs.
Pregnancy symptoms
Pregnancy symptoms are generally the same in both IVF and normal pregnancies. IVF treatment is a medical aid applied until the pregnancy occurs. After pregnancy occurs, these pregnancies are no different from normal pregnancies. For this reason, pregnancy symptoms may be experienced earlier in some expectant mothers and more intensely in some expectant mothers. Usually, expectant mothers first begin to experience pregnancy symptoms with tenderness in their breasts. Nipples and breasts may cause pain to the mother at this stage.
Nausea and vomiting after IVF
If pregnancy occurs after IVF treatment, the expectant mother may experience nausea and vomiting, especially in the morning. This vomiting and nausea may be experienced intensely in the first 3 months of pregnancy. In the second trimester of pregnancy, nausea and vomiting complaints will decrease significantly.
Pimples and acne:
Another common symptom of pregnancy is the changes that occur in the expectant mother's skin. Especially in cases where mothers are exposed to direct sunlight, they may experience spots on their face. For this reason, pregnancy-appropriate, high-protection sunscreens should be used before going out in the sun.
Frequent urination:
Expecting mothers may feel the need to urinate frequently, even in the early stages of pregnancy. At this stage, the uterus is growing and puts pressure on the bladder. For this reason, expecting mothers feel the need to go to the toilet frequently.
Other symptoms:
If pregnancy occurs after IVF treatment, there may be changes in the expectant mother's mood. It can be noticed that their emotional state changes very quickly.
Constipation is another pregnancy symptom. Changes in eating habits and many medications used can cause women to experience constipation. Progesterone hormone also increases during pregnancy. This hormone is a hormone that has a relaxing effect on the smooth muscle system. For this reason, in IVF treatment, this hormone can provide relaxation in the urinary tract, gallbladder and intestines.
