Infertility

IVF 2ww restrictions?

I can't remember all these restrictions.  I remember pelvic rest, take it easy, don't workout.

Can't remember if I can swim or not?

Am I missing anything else?

Re: IVF 2ww restrictions?

  • i wasn't allowed to submerge for the 2ww, because of the risk of infection still from ER.

    So for me, there were no baths, no swimming.

    Dx: MFI, DOR, 9 Fibroids and homozygous MTHFR

    My doctor said no swimming for 1-2 days after.  I didn't swim for the entire 2ww.  My doctor is pretty conservative.

    I am pretty sure you can swim as you did  a FET .  I know I just could not swim because of the ER. 

    The only thing my doctor ever said was no heavy lifting,  I cut down on exercise just for peace of mind.

  • FET restrictions are pretty minimal because you did not have the ER and the stimming.  Mine just told me to rest the day of and take it easy the day after.  I could swim, work out, do all of the things I normally do.

  • Since it was a FET, and you didn't have a recent ER I think swimming is okay :)

    But make sure you don't overheat outside.

  • I e-mailed my nurse (who didn't mock me or ANYthing), and she said swimming and walking was fine but not to work out.

    I just want to go dip in the pool...we'll see how paranoid I'm feeling on Wednesday when we go and whether there's somebody to get in with O.

  • my instructions say : no physical activity, no sex, no caffiene, no alcohol, no tobacco, and no swimming or bathing

    oh, and no prescriptions that aren't prescribed by the RE 

    Just started my 2ww yesterday!  Good luck
