Exercise during stimulation

[MiniCeeCee]

Hi all, hope everyone doing ok! I’m on day 3 of stimulation today ahead of egg collection prob in a week and a half , I’m usually pretty active and thinking of going for a gentle run in the morning, before the stimulation gets me quite uncomfortable (I’m imagining in a few days time once I’ve been on the meds for a while longer). Has anyone else continued to do gentle exercise during the first few days of stims? Just think I’ll feel better for it, but also have a niggle that I shouldn’t be doing it. Be good to hear thoughts from others! Also anyone else going through stims?! X

I continued to exercise as normal up until egg collection. I was lucky I never felt too uncomfortable so that wasn’t an issue.

It was also good for my mental health, and I figured that I needed to be in a good headspace to give it any hope of working anyway!

Good luck. Hope everything goes well x

Thanks so much, I followed your lead and went for a slowish 5km this lunch and felt great after it! X

hi,

I think the recommendation is light/gentle exercise like yoga and walking. Hope collection goes well x

Hello there, I continued to exercise normally and felt great throughout, but please listen to your body and your instinct.

Best wishes
