When did the stims start making you uncomfortable? I'll be on day 5 of stims tonight (375 follistim Thurs-Sat; 350 follistim, 150 menopur Sun-?) and am trying to get in the last few days of exercising before I really feel like crap.

    I was never so uncomfortable that I couldn't have excercised (if I was inclined to do that sort of thing Wink), but I was only on stims for 8 days and only produced 5 eggs, so I'm probably not a good example!

    I had kind of a slow start because I was so suppressed.  So I wasn't uncomfortable until about stim day 7-8.  However, my RE told me to back off on exercising pretty much as soon as I started stims.  You don't want to risk twisting your ovaries which can happen when you have so many follies growing.

    I was already quite uncomfortable by day 5... but I had 34 eggs growing in there!  So I think it completely depends on your response to the drugs.

    Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.

    IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.

    Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

    I've been stimming for 7 days...and haven't been too uncomfortable yet.  I exercise regularly, 3-5 times a week...and it hasn't interrupted it much.  The only thing that stops me is headaches...  But it's not too bad.  Best of luck :)

    I think it's really different for everyone.  I never felt any discomfort while stimming (they retrieved 17 eggs).  It was the day after ER that things got uncomfortable for me.

    I remember I started feeling uncomfortable by the last day of stimming which was day 9/day 1 of 2 of trigger (I had 30 eggs/47 follies which is likely why I was so uncomfortable). My RN told me no aerobic exercise during stimming so I kept physical activity to a very bare minimum. I think in my case if I had exercised during stimming I would have been very uncomfortable a lot sooner.

    I stimmed for twelve days and was never really uncomfortable but that no doubt was due to my poor response :(

    Ditto!  I had 20 mature follicles and 10 immature by day 6.  My ovaries felt like pumpkins.  I was far too uncomfortable to twist around, let alone exercise.

    I triggered on day ten and wasn't really uncomfortable until about day eight. I had 38 eggs at retrieval so once I got uncomfortable it was on!
