Roller coasters while stimming?

jencity9 · June 2014

I am going to ask my RE next week but just thought of this. DH and I are annual passholder for Universal/IOA and I just texted him we'll have to go in July after they open the new Harry potter Diagon alley thing and then realized that could be an issue.. I wonder??

Oh no. That just sounds like a recipe for disaster! Are you stimming? If you are at any point in an IVF cycle, then I'd say hell no.

LOL actual roller coasters.

I'm not stimming yet but probably will be by then. I hadn't considered that might be an issue! Guess I'll have to stay away from the rides!

Rides with a lot of g force and jerking you around, I'd stay away from, assuming you'r a couple of days into stims. But I would think a couple of the easy going ones would be fine.

This might be a silly question, but I have never stimmed before. Why is riding a roller coaster an issue ?

Enlarged ovaries = yikes. At least that is my take on it.

Personally, if I were a few days in, I might still do it. But I wouldn't do it later than a four or five days into stims. But ultimately, your RE will have a good answer for you.

Yeah, I feel a little ill just thinking about this, and I love roller coasters! :-& Sounds like a bad idea to me. As @gsancho said, some of the "kiddie rides" might be okay, but after a few days of stims I was feeling crappy enough that even that sounds unpleasant! Stims are not a time for adventuring!

Yeah, I agree that any more than a few days into stims, roller coasters would be a no no for me. And I flove roller coasters! Just the idea makes me sad. I'm usually an annual pass holder for Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ. I haven't for the past two years. First because of my stupid ute surgeries, and now because of IVF. Seeing the advertisements makes me so sad.

IF Sucks!!!

Edit: I also suck at spelling.

I guess I just picture my ovaries growing bigger and bigger and me having to be very calm and not moving around too much, LOL.

As everyone else said, it could be dangerous due to your large ovaries. I too wanted to go on rides during my stims but didn't lol

I've read stories about enlarged ovaries twisting (and require emergency surgery) with vigorous exercise (running,etc.) even weeks after ER, which freaks me out to no end!!!

Ok. That is what I thought at first. Then my anxiety mind went to "oh gosh, is there a risk your ovaries will twist if you go on a roller coaster !!!!"
