Question about exercise

Ironmom2beIronmom2be member
in Infertility
Were you told no exercise between ET and beta? My beta is Thursday and I'd love to get back to at least walking or easy elliptical my RE said day after ET "resume normal activities" but I assume that doesn't include my daily 6mi lunch run....
What were you ladies told? Should I just hold off for two more days?

    I'm a runner too and I was specifically told "no exercise" until Beta.  They said walking was fine, and that's it.  I couldn't even get clearance for the eliptical or a yoga class.  :/  So, I walk and wait.....

    Thanks! So a walk on my treadmill will probably be ok? I've been overly cautious this cycle, so I've done nothing in a week and feel like a blob.

    Same here, exercise restrictions start when stims start, and nothing but walking after ET.  Good luck!

    So sounds like I can walk the next couple of days without issue. I'll ask about after beta exercise when my nurse calls on Thursday.

    I was running before starting all this IVF bidness back in March and I was told specifically, no running while stimming or during ER and ET and beta. So I stopped. Sad

    But walking, without raising your pulse over 110 is good. Also I was told no lifting anything over 20lbs.

    Yes, I was told walking on the treadmill was fine.  After beta (if it's positive) I plan to get specific with my RE about what I can do.  I really feel I will need to exercise through a pregnancy or go crazy.  I can pause the running, but if I could go to Zumba or Yoga or something.....I would be a much happier person.

    I feel the same way!!! My RE and OB have encouraged me to stay active so I hope I can get back into it if we are successful.

    You know, this was really hard for me during my IVF b/c i'm also a runner and active. During my IVF i walked on the treadmill but that's it. it really sucked. This time around i don't even know if i'll do that. Honestly, it's worth waiting out the 10-14 days and playing it safe. I would just go for a light walk and do some stretching. Take this time for yourself - there really isn't any other time you can just chill and not work out. 

    i figure after my beta i can morph into pg workouts or workout some negative energy from a BFN, which is exactly what i did after my IVF failed. 

     GL & hang in there!

    Me: 31yrs old. In same/sex relationship for 12years
    I'm carrying & we are using anonymous donor sperm
    In March 2012 diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (AMH = O.67) & IVF recommended

    FET (2 5dt embryos) on 11/5/12= BFP! Beta #1=58; Beta #2=98, Beta #3=373. First u/s on 11/28/12 = 1 sac with fetal pole & heartbeat! Next u/s = 12/12/12

    TTC History
    IVF#1 (Antagonist Protocol) Sept 2012 = BFN
    10R; 8F; 4 Day5 GradeA embryos. Put back 2, froze 2.
    12 IUIs (in 9 cycles) since March 2011:
    6 unmedicated/unmonitored = BFNs
    3 with Clomid/Trigger/monitoring/progesterone = BFNs
