Recent BFP's - Exercise?

sept9thbride

I'm dying to get back to doing some sort of exercise. Though I'm really tired at night, I think a little bit on the elliptical each night will give me a little more energy.

What are you doing? I forgot to ask my RE the other day at my u/s if I could go back to exercising now.

I've been keeping up with the no sex/no exercise rule (IVF 2ww rules from RE) since my BFP, but I'm not sure if I'm just being overly cautious.

I'm not doing any exercise because I'm too paranoid/high risk, but I think a little low impact exercise on the elliptical each not should be fine.

my dr advised me to not excerise....

Honestly, I'd call your RE.  To have come this far. . . my only worry, I guess would be that your ovaries are still enlarged.  I swear, I can still feel mine.

I give you credit for wanting to exercise. . . the most exercise I've seen in the last 6 weeks is walking up and down the stairs and an occasional stroll around the block with my dog!  )  And I'm good with that!  But, I'm a lazy person though.

Smudges - you bring up a good point. How soon we forget the reason we weren't supposed to exercise in the first place! My RE did tell me that my ovaries were still a little enlarged. I guess I'll wait until next week. I'll try to get some walking in - hmm...maybe I'll start holiday shopping at the mall!

I have just been walking a lot - a couple of miles a few days a week.  I was told that that is okay and actually recommended.  I am typically a runner so it kinda sucks not being able to run, but oh well.  Basically no high-impact activities is what I was told, but ask your RE if you have concerns.

I've been doing some walking but my OB actually told me not to do anything that would raise my heartrate more  than 20-30 bpm.  That pretty much rules out most things.  I have another appt on Monday so I'm going to see if I can get in the gym now but I'm honestly so tired in the evenings too, the thought of going to the gym isn't very appealing!

I was told no excercise at all for the first 12 weeks.  I felt in my heart it would have probably been OK (I exercised up until my due date with DD) but like the pp said, after all we've been through, I thought I should follow the rules to a T!
