No after an embryo transfer, you may resume your normal daily activities. Comprehensive studies have confirmed that bed rest may actually be harmful to the developing embryo since inactivity combined with high levels of estrogen can promote blood clot formation as well as a rise in insulin resistance. Of course, we recommend restraining from any and all intense exercise like cross fit, sports, running, and jumping. However, nice brisk walks should be continued and a nice way to connect and spend time with your partner or enjoy some nice quiet you time!
