I dont know why but I have an aversion to working out. I feel like I shouldnt do it in my 2ww even though my RE has never said anything like that. Is there any truth to that? Or am I just making that up?
I feel like, considering I have pretty much been sedentary since my m/c in May.. that if I suddenly start exercising again that it is gunna mess with something.
When I think about it - I cant actually imagine how excessive can have a negative impact though, especially if I just start off low impact.
I have gained 10 lbs since April and I feel like a slob.
I always tell myself that after the 2ww that I am going to start working out.. but then I never do. I even bought this Adventure Bootcamp course on Groupon that I have to use by April. (I bought it and then found out I was pg the next week)
Re: working out?
I kind of know how you feel. During my IUIs, my RE said that I could work out like I normally did, during the 2ww. Even though I believe her and trust my RE, I didn't work out. I have had a number of losses and if I had another loss, I didn't want to look back (no matter how irrational) and wonder if working out did it. So, for my peace of mind, I cut out working out during the 2ww.
Now with IVF, it's just a roller coaster. I don't work out while on stims (except maybe walking) b/c I don't want to twist an ovary and I don't work out during the 2ww. So, there goes 1 month of working out. Then after the 2ww, I've either had a BFN or a c/p and I don't feel like working out b/c I'm sad.
This is a long way to say that I understand. I just went to the gym last night for the first time in more than 1.5 months. It felt good, but I know when I cycle again, I'll probably go on another break. It's frustrating!
(pg mentioned)
I know how you feel and I am struggling with that a lot this time. Just because I dont want nothing to get messed up. But honestly when I got pregnant the first time. I was working out about 5x a week. It really didnt affect me obviously I got a lil girl to show for it. I remained active that whole cycle, and when I found out I was pg, I just took it down a notch. Good luck hope that helps.

Yea I see what you mean. My advice just start slow.
I would not start working out during the 2ww if you have not been. I'm a runner and when I did IUI's I would take a few days off after the IUI, then do low impact stuff for a few days, and eventually run at a slower pace until my beta. Now with IVF and FET my RE doesn't want me working out at all after the transfer.
You could start walking/doing other low impact workouts at the start of your next cycle and then continue with that in your 2ww. My RE says to just take it easy the first few days after and then you could start doing something low impact.
