Slight vent (there are GIFs so you won't get bored)

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I play a lot of tennis.  A LOT.  Next week kicks off a new season and I am on three teams, meaning I will play three nights a week.  I realized that league starts the week of my IUI...

So I called the doctor and spoke with his nurse.  She "recommended" that I do not play tennis during the TWW.  In fact, she recommended that I don't do anything aerobic.  

So now I am all like:

Any one know the reason that I can't do anything physical?  Are they just being extra cautious?  I mean, this stuff is not cheap so I am not about to go against my doctor's orders, but I am pretty butt hurt about this.

Isn't the clomid, the doxy, the novarel enough?  Now you are taking away my ability to do the one thing that may make this month tolerable???!?

OK, I'm sorry for my pity party.  I'll put my big girl panties on now and get back to work.

    I'm sorry that sucks!  I would err on the side of caution as well too though.  Hopefully you'll get a BFP from the IUI and it will all be worth it!!

    What a bummer! FX that having to stick to the sidelines means you'll get a BFP :)

    Most days I am pretty positive and upbeat about things, but for some reason when the doctor told me no physical activity I just about had a hissy fit right then and there.  I know people go through a lot more than I have for a baby.  Think I am just getting a little exhausted with this process.  If it doesn't work this time we will probably take a break for a month or two.

    I'm sorry about the timing of everything. I am very active too and have read recommendations to avoid aerobic activity to increase chances of implantation. I'm guessing the theory is that jostling your uterus may decrease your chances. I would love to read the research behind it. I would still follow your doctors advice though!

    I have no idea why they make the recommendation, but just wanted to commiserate and send creepy Internet hugs. FX for a BFP for you!
