You do not require complete bed rest after embryo transfer. Bed rest for 1-2 days after embryo transfer is usually advised. Evidence states that strict bed rest and inactivity after embryo transfer are related to negative outcomes. Few studies suggest that strict bed rest and inactivity combined with use of high estrogen led to increased blood clot formation and insulin resistance hence disrupting the growth and development of the foetus by halting the blood flow to the much needed areas for development.
