ew ok.  Just asking because someone mentioned that twists & certain poses could be a bad idea during that 2ww. wasn't sure & thought someone that does yoga could ease my mind.

People do yoga throughout their entire pregnancy so there is absolutely no reason you would not be able to during the 2WW.

Yoga is fine during the 2WW or any point during your cycle.  The same for excercise in general.

Yoga is fine in 2ww. Some poses are a concern as preg progresses but none will hurt now.

Yes, yoga is fine. There's a reason why there is prenatal yoga.

Yes, absolutely.  I don't do anything differently during the 2ww than I would on any other given week.

I would wait until I had a positive test to alter my yoga routine at all.

I have only heard of it being a bad idea if you are going through IVF. My doctor has specified that I am to do no exercise involving twisting because you can twist your ovaries. That said, if you are having a natural cycle with no meds, your normal activities are fine and will not cause problems.

That is really good to know! I'd never heard of that before.

I hadn't either! But after hearing about it, I think I am going to walk like a robot while going through IVF because I am going to be paranoid I will twist something! I guess it is because your ovaries are "bigger" because of the meds, but EEK!

LOL! I am imagining you going through life doing the robot.

Yoga has some very purposeful twisty poses. So, I would think as long as you aren't stretching that way, you would be fine. But maybe stick with robot movements, just to be safe

ETA: This is the kind of thing I was thinking of. Don't do this!

Haha yeah, I am sure this is what they don't want me to do! But I keep thinking if I twist my body to look at something, I will twist an ovary! I haven't even started the meds but every time I twist or move quickly, I think to myself, "you can't do this during IVF!". I'm a little crazy obviously!

I think that's pretty understandable
