Pregnancy is a journey full of anticipation and challenges, especially for women choosing IVF in the US or Mexico. At every stage, proper care and medication directly impact both maternal and fetal health. Scientific and carefully managed medication not only reduces risks but also lays the foundation for the smooth arrival of a new life.

 

In the US and Mexico, IVF and egg freezing have become essential options for women pursuing their reproductive goals. Once pregnancy is confirmed, medication must be managed with particular caution. Embryos are sensitive to drugs at different developmental stages, making guidance from professional physicians critical. Whether it is vitamin supplementation or targeted treatments, all medications should follow a doctor’s prescription and monitoring to avoid risks from self-administration.

 

The FDA’s pregnancy drug safety classification is an internationally recognized reference. Medications are categorized from A to X according to their potential impact on the fetus. Generally, A-category drugs are considered relatively safe during pregnancy, such as basic supplements like vitamin A and vitamin D. B-category drugs should only be used under medical supervision, while D and X-category drugs should be avoided to prevent harm to fetal organ development.

 

During the early embryonic stage, implantation is relatively stable, but unnecessary drug intake should still be avoided. In the organogenesis period (weeks 5–12), the impact of medication is most significant, and any treatment must undergo careful evaluation. In the fetal period, although most organs are formed, the nervous and reproductive systems are still developing, so medication must continue to be used with caution.

 

For women of advanced maternal age, IVF-PGT technology in the US or Mexico can effectively reduce the risk of genetic disorders. IVF-PGT allows chromosomal screening before embryo transfer, ensuring healthy embryos and increasing both the success rate and the likelihood of a healthy baby. Dr. Nathan Zhang notes that this technology is especially suitable for women with recurrent miscarriages, a risk of genetic diseases, or advanced maternal age, serving as a key method for achieving healthy pregnancies.

 

Lifestyle adjustments are equally important alongside medication. Maintaining a regular schedule, balanced nutrition, moderate exercise, and avoiding alcohol, smoking, and high-stress environments can significantly improve physical conditions and create optimal conditions for pregnancy and embryo implantation.

Dr. Nathan Zhang established the IVF USA team, which has provided overseas assisted reproduction consultation for over ten years, offering services such as egg freezing, IVF, and third-party assisted reproduction. With nearly 20 years of experience in international reproductive medicine, IVF USA has expanded into the Mexican market, serving as the Chinese partner of Power Fertility Center Mexico (POWER IVF). Currently, Dr. Zhang’s services extend beyond the US to include IVF and egg freezing in Mexico, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. For anyone on the path to parenthood, this represents not just a medical journey, but a gentle shared passage toward welcoming new life.
