How long after embryo transfer does implantation take place?
How long after transfer can I take a home pregnancy test?

Implantation takes place about 10 days after fertilization.  Please wait unto at least 2 weeks after fertilization (egg retrieval) to do a pregnancy test.
Good luck.

There is no evidence that bed rest is necessary, at all.  I have my patients at bed rest for 30 minutes after transfer.  I am probably only treating myself.  As far as how many days after transfer, that depends on the age of the embryos at time of transfer.  If it is a day 3 transfer, implantation will be about a week later.  If it as a day 5 transfer, implantation will probably be only a few days later.
Good luck.
