ivf ad bedrest

[dolly150]

Hi everyone,am happy to find this blog. just had my ivf transfer done today,was told to have complete bedrest for 72hrs and then take it easy. how long did you have bedrest for what was your outcome?


This discussion is related to ivf and bed rest.

thanks so much for the info,very informative,was asked to do a 3days strict bed rest and take it easy for a week after then.

I also did 24 hours of bed rest after a 5 day transfer.  I got a BFP 9 days later...
Good luck to you!

I did about 24 hours after my 5-day transfer, and it was a successful cycle. Best of luck!

I was told to do a 48 hour bedrest.  I'm not sure that it was intended to give the embryo a chance to implant as much as to give the uterus a chance to calm down after the manipulation of the cervix with transfer.

After 5 day transfer I did 24 hrs bedrest--bfn
After 3 day transfer (twice) I did 72 hours--bfn and the next time 48 hours--bfn but chemical
Research has shown bedrest doesn't necessarily help as long as you take it easy but most drs recommend it anyway.
After my three day transfer I was in bed til day 5 post-retrieval but implantation (I can tell from the implantation cramps) was day 8 post-retrieval so I don't see how it helped me to be in bed all that time!
