My RE told me what you've read, no intercourse, no orgasm after ET. But it's to protect your ovaries not about the potential baby. I honestly wouldn't worry about it much unless it's caused you to feel uncomfortable, or sore in any way.
I really don't think you can hurt the baby at this point, but you can always call your Dr if you need some reassurance from a professional. Normally when you conceive you may continue normal sexual activity without even knowing if you're pregnant without any trouble. But since you just had a retrieval and your ovaries may still be swollen and sore it can be a problem. At least that's what my Dr told me.
Take a deep breath, everything will be fine! Your stress level is more likely to cause trouble than anything else.

When my RE told me the same thing I asked why and the reason given was that after your ER you have an increased risk of infection because your follicles were pierced. Because of that they want you to avoid any sexual activity (I guess so as not to lead to anything more than foreplay). I am sure you are fine - don't worry. As hoping4bfp said, people who conceive naturally continue having orgasms so I don't think the orgasm is putting you at risk. Best of luck!
