during the 2ww, honestly i keep it light just walking and yoga. alot of woment dont alter their routine at all though. im also going to start swimming.

Walking ONLY. I know how you feel, before this, i was really into working out. I too have gained weight, but to me, im not willing to take the risk. I want to do everything possible to give me the best chance, i just don't want to be stuck later on saying, well maybe if i didnt do that last set of reps......

But it drives me crazy too, i understand completly ! Not just the weight but working out made me feel better in general, now i feel like a sack of $hit, laying around all day.

i used to follow my regular routine. but last cycle dr. B said no strenuous exercise since i had a lot of eggs and was at risk for hyperstimming. i couldnt have even exercised if i wanted to since i was so bloated and in pain from my enlarged ovaries. dr. B also said no gym during the 2WW (or however long it is) of my upcoming IVF cycle. says there is only one point of blood flow to the ovaries and exercise can divert the blood away from them or twist and constrict the point so that less blood reaches them.
