What to Do to Help the Embryo´s Attachment?
The process of “embryo adherence” is the stage in which the embryo attaches to the endometrium to continue its development. In a natural pregnancy or during artificial insemination, this occurs 5 to 6 days after fertilization. In In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), this process begins on the day of the embryo transfer.
The attachment of the embryo to the endometrium occurs through specific adhesion molecules.
Several factors influence embryo implantation:
- Embryo quality.
- Endometrial receptivity.
- Hormonal factors.
- Immunological factors.
- Anatomical abnormalities of the uterus.
However, if you are undergoing assisted reproduction treatments such as IVF, all these factors will have been studied and monitored by specialized medical professionals. Therefore, there is nothing additional that can be done to increase the chances of pregnancy, other than waiting for the embryo to implant properly and maintaining a normal, relaxed lifestyle while following the instructions provided by your medical team.
We recommend adopting a healthy lifestyle by avoiding habits that negatively impact the process, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, maintaining a balanced diet, and trying to reduce stress. Meditation can help ease emotional stress.
