Was this amount of exercise ok?

I’m a few days out from my first IUI and in addition to some walking outside today I did about 25 min of strength training with 5 lb weights. No ab exercises. Now I’m worried I shouldn’t have.

Yes, it's fine. On my 5th round of IVF, I did my normal (moderate) workout with weights 2 days after transfer, because I had become totally jaded about success. My DD from that round is now a first-grader.

You are absolutely fine. My RE used to say that all of the restrictions were mostly about what I would feel guilty about afterward, not about what would actually impact my cycle.

Thanks. I basically didn’t do anything the day of the IUI and the first couple days after but then just felt so antsy today so decided to do something that didn’t seem high impact.

Yup, you're fine OP - don't worry.

Good luck!
