Do
- Relax and do not fret. Ensure that you get enough rest.
- If you have been prescribed medicines by your doctor, continue taking them. This is usually progesterone which is needed to let the pregnancy lead to best outcome.
- Continue to eat healthily. Incorporate protein, calcium, vitamin B and iron in your diet.
- Start taking folic acid supplements.
- Keep away from plastics and substances that contain bisphenol A, phthalates, parabens and triclosan. These are called endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and can interfere with the child’s organ development.
Don’t
- You might feel some pelvic discomfort and belly fullness may persist for a week or more after the eggs are retrieved. Don’t panic as it will heal with time.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity such as running, intense workout, aerobics, and cycling.
- Don’t ignore symptoms that are related to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) such as abdominal pain and bloating, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
