I (want to) workoouutttt! Exercise during stims?
Yes I am the girl of a thousand questions!!
Dr told me to take it asy once my ovaries become enlarged. After I had the endo biop, he also told me not to work out for a few days. After about 5 days, I did work out and had HEAVY bleeding and cramping. I pushed it too far I guess so now Im trying to be careful.
Im only on my second day of injections and already I feel like a peice of lard because Im not moving. Im not petite by any means but I do work out as a way to relieve stress and maintain a (somewhat) healthy weight.
Not being able to work out is making the stress of it so much harder.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Its to frriggin cold out to walk outside. Can I ride the stationary bike? Somethin???

I asked my doctor the same thing, and was also advised to not do anything to streneous. I was told I could swim, elliptical, weights etc, basically to stay away from any impact exercizes. GL!

My dr told me to really take it easy during this time... I ran a little bit very slow but no weights or anything too much.

thanks girls... I think Im going to head to the gym later and do something very light (walking, light weights)
Maybe Ill do a pilates/yoga DVD later.
What do you think?
RGCE: I Love the eliptical but was afraid to do that since he warned me of my ovaries twisting.

Ouch, good call on not risking that. But honestly, as I progressed with Stims, I was so uncomfortable, that all I wanted to do is lounge around.

I was told to make sure your heart rate stays under 140 bpm - this is for stims, 2WW and pregnancy. Treadmill, bike and elliptical is fine - as long as you take it easy. Pilates and yoga are fine but no twisting or upside down poses.
Meditation is great to relieve stress and won't hurt your body.

Meh. I haven't worked out in ages! I still walk the dog,etc. but work out with weights, high heart rate, no bueno.
If I lay on the couch and lift my leg up to see my socks, that's a work out 
How about some meditation for stress relief? Or even better, my personal favorite, shopping!
