Exercise during IVF?

Post by kayto1 »

Normally I workout 6-7 times a week, aerobic, around 1 hour per time. I have a BMI of 32, so low BMI is not an issue (i.e. having to workout less to increase body fat).

What are the guidelines for working out during an IVF cycle? Generally I jog, do spin, do cardio sculpt, bike and swim (I am a triathlete).

Thank you,
Kayto

Hi:

I cannot give specific recommendations here as I don't know all the issues involved in your case. But in general I recommend reducing one's workout during stimulation to reduce physical stress and allow more of your body's reserves to help in the reproductive system. Of course, we would recommend suspending your regimen after transfer until the pregnancy is well established.

Good luck.
