FET- what did you do ?

Question

What did you ladies all do on the day of transfer and the day after ? My RE said just act like a princess. I’ve heard of some who just lay up and do nothing and others just go about their normal day. What’s best to do ??

Answer

I was told to go about my normal routine, just not run a marathon or anything. I got up about 5 minutes after transfer bc I had to pee so bad I was going to burst, then my husband and I got some lunch and then I went and got a facial:) And then we relaxed and watched movies the rest of the day. First FET gave me my baby girl:)

Answer

Research shows that in general, staying lightly active is better than bedrest or heavy duty activity.

Answer

Fresh (not sure whether you meant fresh or frozen) here and I took the day off and watched tv, but we went out for lunch directly after. The next day I was at work.

Answer

I worked out the day of my  transfer before I went in. I took the day off of work and relaxed and watched some comedies on TV because I have heard it is good to laugh and I am not sure that makes a difference, but I liked the idea of trying to put myself in a good mood. I had my hair done that evening. 
The next day I went to a baby shower. I don't know that I would recommend that if you can avoid it, but this shower was for my sister-in-law, so there wasn't an option to get out of it. The talk about babies was  difficult, however it was nice to get out of the house and socialize, so I would recommend distracting yourself with some social activities because the wait is the worst. 
As far as exercise I took two days off of my typical exercise routine after transfer and then returned to low impact exercise (I take spin class on my Peloton). I did use a heart rate monitor and kept my heart rate at 140. I spoke to my doctor about my exercise plan and she said it was fine.
Transfer was successful, but later ended in miscarriage. We did not PGS test our embroyo. Planning on having another transfer hopefully next cycle and will probably do things in a similar way.

Answer

The day of my transfer I did some shopping for a wedding I was attending. I returned to work the next day but kept my schedule light. That was a Fri and that weekend I just relaxed and did light housework. I made sure to watch comedies for the happy hormones and distraction.

Answer

We went to a farmers market and walked around a bit. Then we came home and watched a bunch of funny tv to laugh a lot (good for blood flow which is good for implantation). 
Next day we did chores around the house and I relaxed when I wanted to. 
Walk + laugh + relax. 
Good luck!

Answer

My RE wants me on full bed rest for 48 hours, then take it easy another 48 hours. So my husband and I both took the whole week off of work. I have prepared all my meals (difference soups) and frozen them, so I can just heat and eat. I am spring cleaning the house the weekend before (I’m ocd) so I’ll be able to relax more. I have healthy snacks in a basket next to the bed. Few other things I’m doing also..... I watched a ton of videos on YouTube for tips and tricks 😊

Answer

I was on bedrest for 3 days. I laid around and watched TV, hung out at my parents house, but mostly relaxed the whole time sitting or laying down.

Answer

I've always been told to go about my normal life. My fresh transfer was successful (though I later lost it) and I was hiking the day of and day after the transfer, as well as continuing my normal gym routine. For my FET I was sick so I was bed ridden transfer day and a few days after. It was unsuccessful.

Answer

My doctor said it depended on what I did for a living. Since I am on my feet all day (teacher), he wrote me out of work for the day of and day after transfer. Mine was fresh, but I would imagine it would be the same for frozen.
