Good luck with your IVF cycle! It just worked for my husband and me the first time, after three unsuccessful IUIs, and I'm now about 9 weeks pregnant. My doctor had me lie down right after the procedure for a full hour before emptying my bladder. Then I was able to get up and go to the car and my husband drove me home. They told me to rest quietly that day and resume normal activity (although no jogging or strenuous activity) the next day. They said there's no proof it helps, but it can't hurt. So I spent the day of the transfer on my couch and just got up a few times. The next day I went about normal things, but tried to avoid anything strenous. They told me that there was nothing I could do to make the embryos fall out. Sneezing, coughing, laughing, all fine. The most critical time is the hour after transfer, when you want the embryo(s) to settle onto the back wall of your uterus. The lining should be thick enough to then keep them in place where hopefully they'll implant in the next few days. Also, I know a woman who was told to be on bedrest after the transfer for 2 days. But even she was allowed to get up to go to the bathroom. You should ask your doctor to be very specific about what you can and can't do. Also, it's normal to feel some liquid come out when you stand up, or even the next day. It's NOT the embryos coming out. It's just some of the fluid they use to clean your cervix. I was glad they told me that beforehand because it would have really scared me. Good luck! You could be pregnant in a month!
