Is it possible to have sexual intercourse after embryo transfer or do I have to rest?

The most common recommendation is not to have sexual intercourse until one week after the embryo transfer (or until the pregnancy test).

However, this does not mean that you should rest after the embryo transfer. It is best for the woman to lead a normal life, following her usual routine, but avoiding heavy physical exertion.
