Exercising after IUI

| Is it ok to exercise after an IUI? I started using the elliptical and am getting into the swing of things to lose some weight and don't want to give it up during the 2WW. Does anyone know if it's ok? |

| I always waited a few days until my ovaries felt normal again, and then I'd go back to my routine, although nothing extremely strenuous. |

| PP here - forgot to add that I never really got any guidance from my doctor. |

| Were you using injectibles or clomid? When I was doing clomid/IUI, the nurse told me to just keep doing what I was doing, but the doctor (Dr Frankfurter at GW) said to take it easy with running -- jog no more than two miles -- and that the elliptical was fine. basically he seemed most concerned that not working out would make me more stressed. My accupucturist told me to stop working out all together. I ended up listening to my doctor. For what it's worth, I did not get pregnant on any of my 3 cycles and am now back to running long distances (and loving it!) while I take a couple months off before IVF. |

| OP here. I am on injectibles. I think I will still do the elliptical but just at a very low pace. If I break the routing I feel like I will slip back and start gaining the weight I've recently so proudly shed. |
