XP: If you used Progesterone supplements

CoastieWife08

Were you given a "limited activity" order if you were put on a progesterone supplement when pg?

I just got off the phone with my MW, and I asked her about my half marathon training.  I'm supposed to run the Princess 1/2 in March.  I'm not a real runner, but I wanted to do this with my SIL.  We have a whole girls weekend planned and whatnot.

Anyway, my MW told me that she isn't keen on the idea of me doing distance training while TTC and if I do get ktfu, I'll be on progesterone supplment and she will want me doing limited activity (ie: walking and yoga is the most exercise I'll be allowed to do).

Dr. Google didn't really give me any good answers.

Obviously, I'm pretty bummed since I've been working on this and I sunk a lot of cash into it already, but I have to do what I have to do for this to all work.

Extreme exercise can effect fertility.  But no, I was on progesterone and was never given any activity restrictions.  I am curious about that as well since I've never read any reason why progesterone supp users shouldn't exercise.

It sounded weird to me, and I haven't found anyone else that had the same restrictions.  She said I can still exercise, but she wants me to stick to low-impact stuff like walking and yoga.

I was really tired while on them, even on a non pregnant cycle.  Maybe that is the reason? Check out their side effects.

I was on progesterone and was not given any limitations to what I could do.

I was on progesterone from 4-14 weeks and was not given any activity restrictions because of it. I did make me sleepy, so I took it at night.
