Sex 3 weeks after transfer

[Drasticaction]

My RE's office said to abstain from sex until after the first fetal ultrasound which is about three weeks after transfer. I had a positive pregnancy test and good rising beta levels two days after that and am four days away from the first ultrasound. Can anyone tell me why the recomendation is made? Is it to avoid infection? Is there a danger with orgasm?

Thanks, drastic action

I was also told the ideal amount of abstinence before  IUI or IVF is 2 to 5 days for the man.

Some speculate that orgasm (i.e. uterine contractions) can hinder implantation although there is NO scientific evidence that sex hinders anything at this early stage.  Once implantation occurerd which it did in your case it is safe to return to your normal sex life.  However, if you have any bleeding which is not unusual in early pregnancy, you will be put on pelvic rest (i.e. no sex).
Congrats on your pregnancy!!!

Well, my Dr. said you just shouldn't do it bc the embies/embie could be dislocated or not implant correctly.  No bouncing!!!  Sex could also lead to uterus contractions.
