Can you exercise after egg collection?

I all I had my egg collection 2 days ago and I’m feeling like I have a bit more energy today! Do you know if it’s ok to exercise if it’s not too intense and fairly gentle?

Congrats on making it to EC! I don't think there’s any problem with gentle exercise if you feel ok and your body is needing it. I just did gentle yoga between EC and transfer although I did have quite bad bloating so didn’t really want to do anything which twisted or impacted my torso too much, just because it felt uncomfortable. I think the best thing it just getting out and walking, both for physical and mental health, and if gentle

exercise helps you to relax then that’s also a good thing!

Not sure about swimming however as don’t know if there is a higher risk of getting an infection which might impact transfer....

Good luck for the next stage !!!

Hello! If you feel up to it, I am sure that it is not a problem. Actually, if you are having a fresh transfer it is a good idea to get your blood flowing to your uterus, which will help with the lining ☺️ Wishing you lots of luck

Hello, I’ve been told not to swim due to risk of infection. I’ve walked and danced gently since my ET but was told not to anything more strenuous for a week at least.

Not what you're looking for?
