Rest in icsi

The ICSI is a procedure of assisted reproduction in which the fertilization of the ovules is performed by sperm specially selected for their morphology, so it occurs in the laboratory. After the insemination of the ovules, a follow-up is performed to observe the development of the embryos, based on how the cell divisions are produced, the quality of the embryos is determined.

Those embryos of better quality will be chosen to carry out the transfer in women, which is usually done on day 3, although in certain cases the transfer is recommended on day 5.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Rest at ICSI

Embryo transfer is a very simple process, it does not require anesthesia (since it is not a painful intervention) and the duration is 15 minutes maximum. The gynecologist inserts a cannula with the embryos into the vagina and deposits them inside the uterus. It is recommended that the woman remain at rest between 15 and 30 minutes before leaving the clinic for assisted reproduction .

Normal life after transfer

Once at home, the woman should not rest after the transfer of the embryos, she can have a normal life, unless it is a special case and the doctor recommends absolute rest.

Resting after ICSI

Staying at rest for two weeks until the beta hCG test is done does not increase the chances of ICSI success. Studies show that it is rather the opposite. By not doing any type of activity can increase stress and make the woman become obsessed with looking for pregnancy symptoms creating anxiety.

Benefits of moderate exercise

Moderate exercise is highly recommended, so that walking or even practicing a sport, provided it is not a strong physical effort, may be indicated to reduce stress. In addition, making plans with other people and carrying out activities will make waiting for the pregnancy test more bearable and faster.
