What did you start/stop doing during IVF

Question

It’s retrieval month. Bc for 10 more days and then start the meds and retrieval 10/30 
Did you stop drinking coffee/wine etc and working out? I swapped to half calf half decaf. Still working out 
What did you start/stop?

Answer

During my stim cycle I stopped all caffeine and alcohol. I made sure to eat a balanced diet but nothing crazy until my transfer month. As far as working out- I found I had no energy and was so uncomfortable that I didn’t want to.

Answer

I slowed my workouts down to lower intensity and cut back on alcohol up until the retrieval and after the retrieval I pretty much treated my body like I was pregnant. Since the transfer, I haven't done much more than a light walk for exercise. Good luck!

Answer

Hi Rachel, my doctor advised to only do gentle yoga. I stopped cafe and have 1 or 2 green tea instead. Wine one glass every now and then my doc said its ok. All in moderation 😊 the big change for me has been the gym, as I did a lot of high intensity work out... so adjusting now. Good luck xx

Answer

I was told no exercise, the ovaries are too enlarged and it increases the risk of ovarian twisting. Besides, I was much too bloated to move! I dropped to 1 cup of coffee a day, as 100mg of caffeine is ok during pregnancy.

Answer

I am eating lots of greens, no red meat, and only whole grains. Wine no more than one glass a week. Yoga for exercise. Tons of water and body armor to drink. 8+ hours of sleep every night. I also switched all my personal hygiene and household cleaning to chemical free. I take a prenatal, co-q 10, vitamin c, iron and folic acid once a day.

Answer

Working out got difficult because of how bloated I got so I tried just doing light walks but even those were hard. Dropped caffeine completely. Started treating myself like I was pregnant. Lots of electrolytes and water to keep myself hydrated. During transfer week I ate a ton of avocado and smoothies and made sure I was eating healthy and relaxing
