Egg transfer, time to lay down after and acupuncture

lotus7

ET is tomorrow. I'm trying to go to the acupuncture doctor I've for awhile months back because she specializes in IF. My question is, how long after the ET did you have to lay down in the clinic. And if you went to acupuncture, did you go right after? I have to get to her pretty much within an hour-hour and a half of my appointment time for ET and I hope that I'll be able to make it without stressing out. I don't want to get up and go earlier than I have to though.

Thanks.

I hope you don't mind that I answer...

I had my ET at 2:15 PM and was at accupuncture by 3:30 PM. The clinic had my lay there for about 40 minutes.

Best of luck to you!

My clinic did not require me to lay down at all.  I was up right after ET, went out to lunch, and then even went to work.  But I know every clinic is different.

I got up immediately!

My first clinic had us lie down for 20 minutes. My last and successful clinic was a get up and go. I was off the table, emptying my bladder and dressed and back in my car within 5 minutes. I was semi-worried about it, but they assured me that lying down does not make a difference in whether the embryos stay put or not. Going to the bathroom so soon would not release them... I believe them now that I am holding my son!

When we did IVF, the acupuncturist came to the clinic (he works along with the doctor.)  While I laid down after IVF, he put the needles in and I waited about 20 minutes or so, I think. 

I would say give yourself 40 minutes or so after the transfer plus your drive time.
