Exercise in the 2WW?

Hey Ladies,

I'm trying to get bikini-ready for a trip to Mexico in May but my RE told me yesterday that running during the 2ww isn't a good exercise since it relases endorphins, which could impact implantation.  Has anyone else heard this?  If so, what exercises do you do in the 2WW? 

Thanks!

    I had never heard that before.  For my IUIs I was told to keep my pulse around 120-130bpm while exercising.  So I cut back a lot and usually just did the eliptical instead of running and kickboxing.

    For IVF I will not do anything but walk in the 2ww.

    I'm just not exercising - only walking - but I've never heard that before.  Interesting.  Everything I've read pretty much says there's very little you can do to impact implantation in the 2ww, and it really all comes down to the genetics of the embryo.

    I had never heard that before either.  During my IUI's I exercised as I normally would, including running.

    I'm on IVF cycle #1.  My only exercise will likely be walking during the cycle.

    My RE didn't give me any specific instructions so I'm exercising normally.  An embryo will either implant or not, but it's not likely to have anything to do with whether you exercise.
