Bedrest Clicky Poll

My RE orders 3 days of bed rest post transfer.  Drives me insane.  Curious as to how many days of bed rest others have done with success post transfer?  Thanks![Poll]

My RE didn't believe in bedrest.  I had a sticky BFP and BFNs without bedrest.  I think bedrest is overkill.  You have to remember that fertile people get pg all the time and go about their normal activities, including some who are runners.  Just my 2 cents.

My RE doesn't order bedrest however I took it upon myself to take it easy and not do much for 2 days.  I have done 2 IVF cycles and gotten pg on both! GL!

Glad to hear about your successes-- and that they happened w/o bed rest.  I've read that bed rest is debatable and more of an old school belief.  Especially since women do get pregnant all the time w/o knowing it go about with their normal routines and strenuous activities and go on to deliver full term.  

I did the bed rest thing the first IVF and for my FET (IVF worked and FET failed) but like I said it drove me insane.  I think this time around I will take the 3 days off work, but just take it easy instead of laying around all day.  DH is already having a fit about it though.

 Thanks!

My first IVF - no bed rest - BFN.  I decided to do bedrest on my 2nd IVF and I got pregnant.  So in my head, I had to do bedrest when I went for #2.  My RE told me it was unnecessary and there was no evidence to suggest it helped, but I did it anyway and got pregnant with bedrest again.  I felt like it wasn't hurting me and if I hadn't gotten pregnant, I would have wondered if would have worked had I done bedrest.  Plus, bedrest got me out of going to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. Shhhhh
