**Bed rest after embryo transfer: helpful or just IVF folklore?**

For years, many patients were told to lie flat after embryo transfer — sometimes for minutes, sometimes for hours, and historically even longer.

It sounds logical: if we just placed an embryo into the uterus, maybe staying still helps it stay there.

But the uterus does not work like that.

In this week’s episode of **Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday**, we break down one of the most common embryo transfer myths: the idea that walking, p*eing, coughing, laughing, or normal activity can make an embryo fall out.

We talk about what the evidence says, what patients can usually do after transfer, when activity restrictions may matter, and why those restrictions are often more about enlarged ovaries after a fresh retrieval — not about the embryo falling out.

If you are in the two-week wait and replaying every sneeze, step, or car bump in your head, this episode is for you.
