Stay in bed increases the chances of pregnancy
Stay in bed a while after artificial insemination
This Dutch study was conducted among 390 couples who underwent fertility treatment, specifically an intra-uterine insemination (IUI). During this treatment, the treated sperm of man is introduced into the uterine cavity of his partner. This technique is standard procedure for couples where one has not yet determined the cause of infertility. On average, 10 to 12% of couples using artificial insemination and earth eternal gold to procreate at the first implantation of the egg. This figure further increased if multiple attempts.
Getting pregnant
As part of the Dutch study, half of the 390 women could move freely after each treatment. The other half would stay in bed for fifteen minutes. In the latter case, there was an increased chance of pregnancy. The successive treatments in the group of women to remain lying reached scores of 10%, 10% and 7%, against 7%, 7% and 5% in the other group.
Fifteen minutes rest after artificial insemination
This study was conducted by the Academisch Medisch Centrum Amsterdam under the direction of Inge Custers, who believes that “the Dutch hospitals should adapt their procedures so that all women can remain lying fourth hour after treatment . Even if such an arrest requires more time and more space, this measure provides long-term benefits, as pregnant patients should not continue treatment.
In Belgium
The fertility clinics in Belgium should also adopt this measure? Dr Willem Ombelet the Genk Institute for Fertiliteit Technology thinks so. “At Genk, that makes twenty years that we force women to suffer from insemination to stay extended. Our center has even been specially modified to allow this to our patients.”
This approach has also a psychological reason, explains Dr. Ombelet. “As in the case of natural fertilization, it is always a little liquid that emerges from the uterus, which encourages women to believe that their chances of pregnancy are reduced. A second reason is that the doctor has time to explain procedures and expectations. And as Bedrust study has now shown to scale, but we supposed long ago, it also increases the chances of pregnancy. “
