After embryos are inserted...

AshRob0102

After you all got your embryos inserted what we're y'all allowed to do and not do to! This is our second time and I want to take every precaution possible!
Thanks in advance.

After the transfer I was on 24 hour rest.  That meant being on the couch or in bed with legs elevated.  I was allowed to get up to use the bathroom and eat meals and that was it.  After 24 hours I could resume light activity.  No lifting above 25lbs, no sex, no high impact exercise.  Otherwise, got about normal activities.

With IVF #1, my old RE did not require/suggest bed rest. He said that you could go about your normal routine. Of course, no working out and strenuous activities, but also no bed rest.

My RE does bed rest for the rest of the day after transfer, and then the entire following day. It's not a full 48 hours, but close.

I did not have any bed rest.  I was told no sex or strenuous activity, and no lifting more than 15 lbs.  I pretty much stuck with walking for exercise.

I was on 3 days limited bed rest... Basically just don't do much.... And no lifting anything more than 10lbs until first beta. Then there was pelvic rest until beta. For my next FET I'm going to put my self on strict bed rest for the first 3 days since my last FET didn't work.

3 days bed rest- just getting up to take care of minor things

My Dr has strict 3 day bed rest after transfer. So I was in bed for 3 days and on 4th day had light activity, went back to work on 5th day. No sex until heartbeat is heard, unless it's BFN. Good luck !

My RE told me to go home day of transfer and relax and stay in bed and then I could go back to work the following day. No Bding until after BETA.  RE said to not do any intense workouts. I took it easy the days following the transfer and didn't lift anything heavy.  Just take it easy!

I was allowed to do everything like normal. I was told to try to take it easy in terms of exercise since my ovaries were still swollen, and that sex and swimming should be avoided for a couple of days because the walls of the vagina were still healing from the egg retrieval, but that was it. That said, we got a BFN the first time around, so next time I will probably be a bit more careful (i.e. no sex, since I've read that that can cause problems).

I was told I could continue with normal activity - but no strenuous workouts - in particular be careful of any twisting or crunching.  And no sex and no orgasms (thought that was funny they specified the latter).  

In retrospect - I was playing with my niece and nephew over Xmas - and definitely picked both of them up - one is 6 1/2 and the other is 4.... my next ET I will definitely be more careful.

They also told me I should start to act like I am pregnant - no sushi, wine, etc.  They did say a glass on Xmas was ok but otherwise I shouldn't drink.  

Good luck!!!  Hoping your embryos stick!

No lifting over ten lbs. no sex. 24 hr bed rest. No hot tubs or baths or pools.

BLISS KISS

told to go home and rest for the next two days. I kept warm and
I avoided cold food and drinks. No lifting, or house work until after heart beat. No bathing, swimming, hot tubs either.

With my successful fresh cycle, I was running errands on day 2.5.... I took a flight to Mexico and I actually missed my beta appointment. I came back 3 days after the missed appointment.

For my FET, I will follow the same instructions. Ps. I avoid stress.

Best wishes.
