I just completed my first IVF cycle this month. And it was successful. My doctor ordered complete bed rest (lying down completely on back -- no reclining -- up only to urinate) for the first 24 hour period. I did this. Then the next day I took it very easy. I reclined on the couch and got up more often but spent most of the day resting. The next day I resumed normal activity. My theory: when you spend that much money and put all of your hope on this procedure, don't take any chances. Good Luck with your cycle.

To be honest i think it depends on how you feel - i am at that stage at the moment having had my embryo transfer yesterday. I am off work today and wont be going back until monday now (but then again i dont work weekends so it worked out quite well!!). As long as you take it easy, no heavy lifting or strenuous activity then you should be ok. Good luck x

What does your doctor recommend?
I spent the day of and day after my transfer resting on the couch and thinking embryo-welcoming thoughts, but after that I went back to my normal routine (except for exercising and sex).
Our cycle worked and we had a daughter.
Definitely talk to your RE and see what she says.
