Exercise during injections for FET

[Lady39]

Hi everyone. I’m 39 and will be starting the process for frozen embryo transfer next week with buserelin injections. Obviously in the first cycle with egg retrieval I did not exercise. However what is the situation with FET and injections? Is it safe or is there swelling? I was only planning to do walking but don’t want to go too far in case it is not recommended. After FET I will be relaxing but I want to know if it’s ok during the time I’m on injections leading up to FET. Thanks in advance.

Hi Lady39, sorry I don’t know the answers to this. Like you, I didn’t do any exercise in the lead up to ER, however as I look towards a FET in the new year I too am curious as to whether I can exercise or not. Hope that someone hear has some experience/knowledge. It’s one of the questions I plan to ask my clinic later in the week x

Hi lady39. I used to play semi professional sport and when I was going through IVF I was training 3 times a week aswell as injecting. I got pregnant first time. Obviously I did no exercise once egg transfer happened, but after that I started running again. I am now 15 weeks with my second child after FET. I did no exercise after FET for 7 weeks then I started exercising again- running etc. I am a bit older this time round so wanted to take it a little easier. But if your body is used to the exercise then there’s no harm. Make sure you check with the clinic first though. Sending hugs xx
