Sex after failed egg retrieval

Hi there,
There is a fair bit of info around recommending women abstain from sex around embryo transfer, but since my egg retrieval didn't go well that's the end of this cycle and I am not about to have embryo transfer. I can't find much advice for this scenario. I obviously will need a small amount of internal healing post retrieval before having sex but I don't know how long I need to leave it, given I'm at the end of this round now. Has anyone had any advice about this?
Tia! x

I've been doing egg freezing so I believe it's exactly the same and I was told no penetrative sexual intercourse (and other things like no hot baths, steam rooms, massages etc) until the beginning of my next cycle...so essentially from when my period starts (which for me has been about 10-12 days after the egg retrieval) that's when you can have sex again, assuming you feel normal/no unusual bleeding or issues from the egg retrieval
