So, as you know, once you go down the IVF path, sex no longer has any procreative value…. Or does it? At least one study has suggested that semen can significantly promote embryo development and implantation:
“Intercourse during an IVF cycle has the potential to improve pregnancy rates since exposure to semen is reported to promote embryo development and implantation in animals. Conversely, coitus-induced uterine contractions or introduction of infection may have a detrimental effect.”
So have sex, just don’t like it, especially after your procedure.
IF we do this again, I’m going to make it a priority to have sex before the transfer…. Which is actually a bigger chore than it sounds because the gross progesterone suppositories start before transfer. There is NOTHING is sexier than white, creamy, hormones coming out of your va-jay-jay, amIright ladies?
