Swimming while stimming

Justone13 · June 2014

Dumb question but I never thought to ask because I started all this in February and we still had snow! Our pool is open now, I just went to take a dip then thought omg am I allowed to?? Anyone know? I'm day 2 of stims and still feel great. I just learned no running so hoping I can still swim?? Thanks in advance

I went for an easy swim on Day 3 of stims. I think it's fine in early days, just don't over-exert yourself or swim alone. Sometimes I got lightheaded due to the meds and I wouldn't want to be in deep water when that happened!

My doctor actually said swimming and walking are the two acceptable exercises. Obviously want to take it slow, though. Agree about not swimming alone.

@scooteriste‌ @pblge‌ Thank you ladies!!! It's def great exercise but really I just wanted to cool off from yard work today!! Good to know I can still do it tho!!

I'm an organic, chemical free type person and i would think the chemicals in the pool, like chlorine can't be good for eggs. But, like I said I'm anti chemical type person. I became this way when I started ttu a few years ago. I like this lifestyle. I'm definitely healthier

@przemosbabe‌ that's awesome!! I'm a vegetarian and do as many organic things as I can. Not full chemical free but def try to use as many homemade things as possible. I've been trying to convince my DH to switch to salt next year. We just had new flooring put in the second floor of our house plus the 20g bill for ivf. Soooo it's on the back burner!

Cooling off and having pool fun is so not allowed. (I'm so jealous!!)

I sure hope so I'm getting pretty close to triggering and I swam all afternoon, actually I just floated my ovaries are killing me but it's hot as hades outside. Honestly I wouldn't think it's much different than taking a bath if the pool is well kept.

@Justone13‌ before you switch to salt water do lots of research. Salt water still has chlorine it just has a reactor that converts the water to chlorine so you really aren't doing without chlorine. Also it's very corrosive and if you have any water feature the running water will raise your ph causing other problems. We put in a pool 2 years ago and not one installer recommended salt water anymore because of how corrosive it is. I even have friends now switching back to chlorine from salt water because they are getting tired of replacing their rusted patio furniture and replacing the salt water system parts. I use the BBB (bleach, baking soda and borax) method in my pool and I've never had a problem. All I have to do is add a gallon of bleach every other day in the hot summer months and my water stays perfect. I don't have to add any harsh shock it and my ph has been perfect since I switched to that method so I'm never adding chemicals and I always get compliments on how crystal clear my pool looks. I highly recommend it!

@Pintobean39‌ thank you for that insight!! I've only heard good things so far about the salt from friends. I'll have to do more research before we decide.

@jaztaz1‌ you know you are always welcome!!
