TUBE STATIONARY: Lying down after fertility treatment with intrauterine insemination (IUI) has no effect on the chance of falling pregnant, a study suggests.

Previous studies have shown that bed rest for 10 or 20 minutes can increase pregnancy rates compared to getting up and walking around straight after treatment.

But a new study presented at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (Eshre) conference in Helsinki found no difference between women who laid still and those who got up after treatment.
