Exercise and timed intercourse (medicated)

[Anonymous]

I’m in my first cycle of medicated TI. I triggered last night. Tonight I did 20 min or cardio (Bike) and then about the same amount of time of yoga. I didn’t think about it until after, but should I be exercising? My doctor and nurse never mentioned anything and I never thought to ask. I concerned my first child naturally at a time I was exercising quite a bit so I didn’t think much of it. Anyone have experience with this? Hoping I didn’t ruin chances.

I do letrozole, trigger shot and TI. I walk on my treadmill for 45 mins, 5 days a week during my whole TWW. My dr never said not to.

Thanks! I am basically stuck inside the house teleworking so I thought I should at least be getting some activity but I read the post about exercising during an IVF cycle and it got me wondering and worried.

The concern is ovarian torsion, where the ovaries can twist and cut off blood supply. But that is only a risk with hyper stimulation during IVF where your ovaries are many times their normal size. They don’t let your ovaries get that big during TI, so the exercise restrictions aren’t applicable. Carry on!
