In today’s reproductive landscape, more and more families begin meticulous planning during the preconception stage. From timing and medical choices to lifestyle management, every step is approached with the hope of keeping outcomes as controllable as possible.

 

IVF is not a simple replication of natural conception. It is a process achieved through hormonal regulation and medical intervention. Therefore, whether it is conventional IVF or IVF-PGT, the body’s condition from before embryo transfer to after transfer differs significantly from that of natural conception, making dietary adjustment particularly important.

 

Before and After Transfer: Why Diet Requires Extra Caution

During a U.S.–Mexico IVF cycle, women typically go through ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, and luteal phase support. Hormone levels fluctuate noticeably, and both the immune system and digestive tolerance tend to decline. If the diet is overly stimulating at this stage, it can easily trigger allergic reactions or gastrointestinal discomfort, and may even affect the stability of the uterine environment, thereby interfering with embryo implantation.

 

For this reason, rather than attempting short-term “nutritional boosting,” it is better to prioritize food safety, mildness, and digestibility, allowing the body to remain in a relatively stable state.

 

Often Overlooked Allergy and Irritation Risks

During preconception or IVF treatment, many people are advised to consume more “nutritious” foods. However, around the time of U.S.–Mexico IVF transfer, nutrition does not mean complexity. Seafood, shellfish, and certain tropical fruits are rich in nutrients but are also common allergens. Once symptoms such as skin rashes, diarrhea, or immune reactions occur, they are far from ideal for a body that has just undergone embryo transfer.

 

Key Dietary Considerations During Luteal Support

After transfer, doctors usually prescribe medications such as progesterone for luteal support, which is a crucial step in both IVF-PGT and conventional IVF. These medications can cause symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, or internal heat. If combined with fried foods, barbecue, or high-salt diets, discomfort can easily worsen.

 

At this stage, meals should be kept light, with cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, and stewing. This helps reduce digestive burden and supports relative hormonal balance.

 

Moderation in Protein Supplementation

After ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, some women may experience mild ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms. Appropriate supplementation with high-quality protein can help relieve discomfort. Lean meat, eggs, fish, and soy products are relatively gentle options. It is important to note, however, that high protein does not mean high fat, and excessive supplementation may lead to the opposite effect.

In practical terms, professional teams such as IVF USA and Dr. Nathan Zhang often view IVF treatment within a more comprehensive timeline. From medical protocols to everyday lifestyle details, they help families reduce uncertainty. The IVF USA team founded by Dr. Nathan Zhang has been engaged in overseas assisted reproduction consulting services for more than a decade, providing U.S. egg freezing, U.S. IVF, and third-party assisted reproduction services to those in need. With nearly 20 years of deep involvement in the overseas assisted reproduction field, IVF USA has responded early to the diversification and personalization of reproductive needs by establishing a presence in the Mexico market, becoming the China agent for Power Fertility Center, the Mexico POWER Reproductive Center (POWER IVF). At present, Dr. Nathan Zhang’s services have expanded beyond the United States to include IVF and egg freezing in Mexico, Japan, and Thailand, as well as services in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
