Introduction
The peak period for ascites after fresh embryo transfer generally occurs 1 to 3 days following the transfer. However, the duration of ascites varies from person to person. During the IVF process, hormonal medications are used to stimulate follicle development. Due to individual physical differences, this may increase vascular permeability and lead to ascites.

  During the IVF process, hormonal medications are used to stimulate follicular development. Due to individual physical differences, this may increase vascular permeability and lead to ascites. Therefore, the peak incidence of ascites usually happens 3–7 days after ovulation induction injections, which corresponds to 1–3 days after fresh embryo transfer, with varying degrees of ascites appearing during this time. In some cases, ascites may persist until 3 months into pregnancy; if pregnancy does not occur, ascites typically resolves naturally within about 2 weeks.

  When a woman has only a small amount of ascites, clinical symptoms are usually mild and can be alleviated by adequate rest, increased fluid intake, and consuming high-protein foods. If the volume of ascites is large and causes significant discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Treatment generally includes intravenous volume replacement, albumin infusion to expand blood volume, and other symptomatic measures to improve microcirculation.
