Workout during stims?

Question

Does anyone know if we can workout during stims? 
I feel so bloated and want to do some cardio but I’m not too sure! My dr told me “light workouts” but wasn’t specific as to when?

Answer

Hi Margie, I was told only walking during stims although I kept going until about 5 days in and then started to feel uncomfortable. I had a fresh transfer so after 1 week I was back at the gym. Only lifting half of what I used to but I feel better for going! Currently 9 weeks pregnant and still taking spinning, pilates and trying two weights session per week! Somedays are hard and I’m tired but mostly I really enjoy it and feel good! Good luck and listen to your body! x

Answer

My IVF nurse told me nothing more strenuous than walking or your ovaries can get twisted. 😷

Answer

My doctor told me to stop once I started to feel some cramping because it could cause the ovaries to twist

Answer

I was told that I could work out but it has to be walking only. Also to keep it no longer than 30 minutes a day.

Answer

I worked out up until about 3 days before retrevial. I was too much of a wuss to keep going lol. I started back up  3 days after retrevial (after my cramps subsided). 
My limit was 25 during stims, then 15 in the tww. But when I spoke with my physician personally she said to drop down to what I think is light and to be reasonable. I was squatting 130-140 so i dropped down to 55. Legs and back are where i do the most weight but I've dropped significantly in comparison to before. 
Lighter weight, more reps. I also do a form of yoga and cardio to help supplement but I did both of those, within reason, prior to starting the IVFprocess. 
Naturally, i did have to cut the Preworkout and BCAA out. They were not an approved supplement by my IVF staff. 
Good luck!
