Since the early days of human in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, rest in bed for hours immediately following the transfer has been advocated and widely practised. However, there is no scientific validation for this practice which is both time-consuming for the patient and increases space occupancy in the hospital or clinic. We report here on a study of 103 in-vitro fertilization cycles with no bed rest in hospital following the embryo transfer. The mean number of embryos transferred was 2.7 (range 1-3) and the clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer procedure was 40%. These results suggest that bed rest is not necessary following embryo transfer.
自人类体外受精与胚胎移植早期以来，一直提倡并广泛实行胚胎移植后卧床数小时。然而，这种做法并无科学依据，对患者来说既耗时，又增加了医院或诊所的空间占用。我们在此报告一项针对103个体外受精周期的研究，这些周期在胚胎移植后未在医院卧床休息。平均移植胚胎数为2.7个（范围1 - 3个），每次胚胎移植程序的临床妊娠率为40%。这些结果表明胚胎移植后无需卧床休息。
