IVF & exercise

LauraAkaTigger

Hi all,

I am about to start an IVF cycle in 2 weeks. I love to workout and usually try to 5 days per week. I cycle, do t25, insanity, lift weights, skip, do step aerobics, really anything as I like to switch it up!! Id like to hear from anyone who has done ivf and what they did with regard to their workout. I know I'll be doing low intensity, keeping HR low and plan yoga (I will be researching specific yoga rather than do power yoga is normally choose) and walking.. Has anyone gone through this and what did they do?
I would like to keep exercise during treatment and hopefully all going well and if I feel good, throughout the pregnancy for my own health and the (hopefully) babies too. But, after 5 years of trying to get pregnant with zero success and also irish health insurance doesn't cover this treatment so it's all out of pocket, I don't want to do anything that will
Jeopardise my treatment.
I could of course "take it easy" and do nothing but going through this for so long exercise keeps stress lower and also keeps me at a healthier weight and overall healthier so I really would like to do something that will complement treatment

Any help or advise appreciated

Thanks,
Laura

This would be a fantastic question to ask your doctor(s)

Doctors advice is to keep hr low and keep low intensity and no lifting, even moderate weight. . Doctor does not advise to do nothing if I feel fit and able. I'm looking for people who have gone through it and what they felt comfortable with. Yoga and walking as I have previously stated but I'm looking for other ideas.
