My RE suggests 3 days in bed, then after that, just take it easy, and no lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk.

mine suggest 24-48 hours but after that nothing strenuous. circulation is important at that time as well so he doesn't agree with much longer than that.

Mine recommended the day of ET and the day after (not bed rest, just lounging on the couch/sofa is fine, only get up to go to the bathroom, etc). But I took an additional day off plus I had the weekend, I just didn't want to risk anything after everything we'd been through to get there.

Mine says 24 hrs after transfer to rest (either bed or couch) after that light activity. He ok'd me going back to work after 24 hrs, but I "drive" a desk, so that is non-strenous.

Mine says you can resume normal activity right after the transfer but I have read enough on here from everyone that I think rest for a few days is a good idea. I am not taking any chances. Depending on when my ET takes place I will rest probably from 2-4 days at least. If I get a BFN I want to know I did everything I could and not beat myself up over anything.

Mine said light activity, but I was so sick with OHSS that I was in bed for a number of days.
