Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
masturbation wont have any effect and you dont have to be worried.
If there was fertilization it happened within first 3 days after insemination and now embryo is already implantated so it cant be injured during masturbation.
It is advisable not to masturbate within 2 days after insemination just as precaotion. Wish you good health. Regards
