Mess*

First off I'm not a doctor but I would think it would be best to continue a moderate workout. Stuff like walking, pilates, yoga, even some minor weight training should be ok. I'm not sure what you are used to doing, but I would also think that the continuous blood flow would be good too.

With ivf we are told to not exercise during the TWW, even if you have been exercising before hand. The issue is yiu don't want to over heat your body past a certain temperature. That's why we are also told to avoid jacuzzi's and no hot baths. After bfp, light exercise is good.....walking, eliptical, etc. I know iui's are different, but I would always err on the side of caution. If you don't get a BFP, or do a it doesn't stick, my guess is a lot of "what ifs" will be going through your head and you don't want that to be one of them.

What did your doctor say?

I just had an IUI this weekend. My 4th overall but 1st with a new RE. I asked the nurse about excursizing and she said walking etc is ok the first few days and then after that anything within reason ok. So no running marrathons etc, but she said I could start jogging again, but be careful not to over do it. So I am going to take it easy, but not stop everything.

I would ask your RE since they all do it different.

And congrats on the weight loss!

I read no exercise during ivf then walking after. I followed the advice and was successful. I did most things ultra-conservative because we had a very limited chance and money was tight. I have also heard of women doing complete workouts with no problems. I would follow your doctors advice and then find a level you are comfortable with.

thank you all so much i think ill slow down after the iuis but looks like this cycle is out for me so i might as well get all my workouts done now..

That is awesome weight loss! Congrats! I've wanted to start a work out routine for some time now. TTC has really packed on the pounds! But I always feel uneasy working out during the 2ww, then i'm depressed and don't want to do anything....and continue making excuses for myself just like i'm doing now...

But I have heard that light exercise is ok. I still walk, and take the stairs and stuff, but i'm weird, and try to do such with fluid movements, no bouncing or anything like that. I'm just paranoid, But then again, i've never had a BFP, so there's nothing to say that my methods are successful :-)

ya i have been told to take a month off so im do some intense work outs this month
