I had my transfer on a Friday...he told me BR all for that day and the next. Sunday I was up and around...actually in NYC seeing a play.

I was told 2 days. After that I could do whatever but no heavy lifting.

I was told one day, but took 3 days.

My clinic says 2-3 days, with the first day (24 hrs) being full bed and the other two taking it very very easy.

My RE is not very strict with this at all. He says to rest the day of transfer and you can go back to normal activity the next day. I went to work the day after both my fresh and frozen cycles. My fresh cycle did not work but my frozen one did!

My doctor is pretty strict about it. 3 days bedrest. He said i could lay on the couch or in a recliner but no cooking cleaning or anything for the full 3 days.

My ER has me do bedrest for that day plus one more. Then for the rest of the 2ww I am on light duty. I can not lift more than 5lbs, stand for long periods of time or do anything strenuous and no intercourse. Fortunately I have a job I can do from home since 5lbs is hardly anything!

My clinic just does 1 day, but I plan to take 2 just in case. Apparently studies show the amount of bedrest doesn't make any difference, except that bedrest tends to make the mom's feel better

My office told me, resume normal activities right away! He advises going shopping after the transfer (yes the same day!) He said the whole bed rest is a myth since your uterine cavity is weightless. I use to know a good analogy, but now I can't think of it....

My clinic said to take it easy for a week but nothing more. I did 3 days bedrest on my own.
It is true that body position doesn't really affect the embryos as the uterine cavity is a "potential" space. I have heard it compared to a peanut butter sandwich... those embies are going nowhere!
I do however feel the bedrest is benefical for the fact that you are allowing you body to direct all it's energy towards implantation and pregnancy.
