Exercise?

Anyone else having trouble exercising? I used to be so good, running 3-4x a week but when I started doing IUI's I just couldn't do it anymore. It was too much with all the monitoring. Now I miss it but feel like this is not the time to start again. I'm also feeling huge and really want to run but I'm afraid. Is anyone managing to exercise while undergoing fertility treatments?

Re: Exercise?

In between cycles I continued running and doing spin classes but during the 2WW and during the stim period I limited my exercise. Now, as I am waiting to do my FET next week I have been doing very brisk walking - just helps with my mental health. I find it very hard not to exercise through this process - not only because it helps you feel better about yourself physically, but because it really helps me think more clearly and relax.

Re: Exercise?

i havent gone to the gym since before i started IVF which was in september . i gained 10lbs during IVF stim alone, and then another 10lbs in water weight from OHSS. the OHSS weight went away but im still starting my pregnancy up 10lbs.. already none of my clothes fit. dr. B keeps saying i cant go back to the gym yet due to my ovaries being enlarged and OHSS symptoms.. im hoping i can at least go back by the second tri, even just for light elliptical with no resistance..
