Foods to avoid after embryo transfer

There are many no-noes when it comes to food after an embryo transfer. Here is a list of food items that you should avoid if you have undergone embryo transfer recently.

Raw food: “Avoid eating raw or uncooked food like salads, raw papaya, etc. as they can lead to foodborne illnesses and might also impede implantation. Stick to home cooked meals as much as possible to stay healthy and for better implantation outcomes,” stated Dr. Garima Sharma, Centre In-Charge and Consultant at Gunjan IVF World, the best IVF centre in Janakpuri, New Delhi.

Spicy food: “While there is no direct link of spicy food causing harm to implantation, it is best to avoid because spicy food might cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Make sure you stay away from spicy food like paani puri, chaat, tikki, etc.” says Dr. Shubhda Gupta, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World Noida.

Fermented food: “Fast food or fermented food often contain unhealthy fats, sodium and additives that not only pose a threat to your health but also to the success of implantation. These can lead to unnecessary weight gain and further complications in implantation. So, say no to idli, dhokla, kanji, burgers, etc.,” commented Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant at a well-known IVF clinic in Indirapuram, Gunjan IVF World, who else.

Processed food: “Foods like pastries, cookies, cakes, ready-to-eats are a strict no-no after embryo transfer.

Sea food: Eating raw sea food like sushi, prawns or squids can increase the risk of foodborne illnesses which can affect you and the developing embryo within you.
