What to do after Embryo Transfer

[ARG]

Hi All.

I have just had my embryo transfer on my 2nd IVF attempt. On my first attempt I stayed in bed for 3 days, only getting up to go to the toilet and meals etc. Should I do something different this time. I am currently relaxed on my Couch, legs up with computer on lap and watching television. I intend to stay like this for a few hours and then tomorrow just gentle "pottering" around. I am going back to work on Monday. Is this enough rest. Should I be doing anything else??

I'm doing the same thing. i did eat some pineapple ;0) (thanks to grace!)
make sure the laptop isnt on your stomach ... that was on my list of no-no's...any ideas experienced IVF'rs???????????/

Yes, Any experienced IVF's advice would be good. No computer well off my lap, either on legs on the pillow next to me. Trying to decide what good food I want to eat for dinner but that is dependant on what DH can cook!!!! Good Luck

Just wanted to wish you both the best of luck with your 2ww wait.
I had 3 cycles, 2 fresh and 1 frozen.

With all my 3 attempts i followed the same advice from my clinic(alot of clinics say different things)
I had complete bed rest for a full 3 days!! then after that just very gentle pottering about, no lifting, no real exercise, ect ect.
I believe positive attitude really really helps too.

By the way im now nearly 22weeks pregnant with twins...so something worked.

Goodluck, and keep us posted.
