    I refrained for any excersize for 10 weeks ( though my RE told me I was ok after 6) because I wanted to be overly cautious. Talk to your RE for guidelines. I know there are certain things that are ok and some that aren't recommended. You don't want your heart rate to go above I believe it's 140. You're RE or OB may have different guidelines for you :)

    I stopped running/jogging and only walked...I went on small walks after my transfer and a few walks after betas...nothing crazy.

    We were told to wait until 9 weeks, then we did and had spotting, so I waited till 12 or 14 weeks because I was scared. Spotting is normal after, so be prepared for that. Your OB will bring you in if you want though, I went early at 10 weeks just to check.

    We also were supposed to try it resume dtd-ing after 12 weeks but my dh is too nervous to harm the baby no matter what the doc or science says. I convinced him to try once but it didn't work out. Most of the time now, I'm too tired or not in the mood anyway.

    I believe I was good to start exercising after we saw the heartbeat. Been a lazy bum but that was when the RE okayed it.

    We waited MONTHS when I was pregnant with A because we were both so nervous.

    This time, with Crinone twice a day until 12 weeks it was not happening. Now I'm off that, but since I had a SCH early on, I'm too scared to try still..... :(

    We were told by RE it was fine after BFP, but we waited until after we heard the heartbeat (at 6 weeks 4 days). Not that we have medical reasons to back up waiting, we just felt better waiting.

    OB finally gave me the ok for workouts and sex at my 10wk appointment yesterday.  After all the IVF stuff, I haven't done anything since July...so I may just start out with walking and slowly go back to some of the cardio/weight classes I did at the gym - that is, when I'm not nauseous.  

    And we haven't had sex since August.  All the spotting has me too paranoid.  We are both super horny, so we may have a go at it eventually (just the tip?), but who knows.


    Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility
    IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN
    IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!!
    Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545  -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
    Camila Josephine arrived 4/30 :)

    My RE didn't have rules about waiting to resume sex they said it wouldn't cause harm. We never refrained until I started bleeding from SCH, even then we only refrained while I was bleeding or spotting due to drs orders. So Id say if your not spotting, your good to go!
