• Breasts Change – Changes in your breast may vary from size, sense of fullness, or being very tender to touch.
• Headaches/Fatigue/Nausea – Usually caused by a surge of hormones, which indicate that either you’re ready to menstruate or you are on hormone therapy. Your IVF was successful and your body is getting ready to nourish a new life.

There are many myths related to conceiving and success rates of IVF which may or may not be true. However, there are a few natural methods which can be followed to increase your chances of success.
• Be stress-free – Easing stress helps to speed things. A study proves that women who watched funny performances for about 15 minutes after undergoing IVF were nearly three times more likely to become pregnant. However, don’t stress too much on de-stressing yourself. Take out 15 – 20 minutes every day to ease your mind and figure out what keeps you relaxed.
• Don’t over-exercise– Exercise is good and can increase your chances of fertility but too much of it is counter-productive. It is a form of physiological stress which can harm your chances of becoming pregnant. A better alternative would be to do Yoga for half an hour every day.
• Vitamin D dosage – Most commonly consumed to increase bone health, Vitamin D also affects the chances of reproduction. Women with Vitamin D deficiency have a lower chance of getting pregnant than women who have a sufficient amount of Vitamin. Therefore, it is advised to consume Vitamin D but careful not to overdo it.
• Establish a healthy weight – It is very important to maintain a healthy weight if you’re planning to have a baby through IVF. Being overweight has been linked to negative outcomes of IVF, decrease in pregnancy rate, delivery rate and increase in miscarriage. Obesity appears to hurt the eggs and maybe the endometrium.
