  2. The Importance of Exercise During Fertility Treatments Maintaining good health is crucial, regardless of fertility status. Balanced diet and active lifestyle are essential for overall well-being. During fertility treatments (IUI & IVF), the type and amount of exercise can impact success. Benefits of exercise: • Maintains a healthy heart and body. • Provides a healthy outlet for stress, which is common during fertility treatments. Caution against high-intensity activities with jumping and twisting motions, especially during ovarian stimulation.

  3. Exercise During IVF - The Stimulation Phase IVF involves stimulating ovaries with fertility drugs for 10-14 days to collect eggs. During the initial days of stimulation, regular low-impact exercise is generally acceptable. Focus should be on gentle movement without overstretching or inverted positions. What Exercise CAN You Do During Early IVF Stimulation? Walking: Brisk walking at a comfortable pace. Swimming: Gentle laps, avoiding strenuous strokes. Simple Yoga Movements: Focus on gentle stretches and relaxation poses (avoiding deep twists and inversions).

  4. Exercise - Post Day 5/6 Until Egg Retrieval From approximately day 6 through 14 (or until egg retrieval), all exercise should be avoided. As developing eggs are delicate, and ovaries are enlarged. The goal is to prevent any potential twisting of the blood supply to the ovaries. What Exercise Should You AVOID During IVF? Activities that can disrupt developing eggs and ovarian condition: Skiing and snowboarding Kickboxing Running (especially high-impact)

  5. Exercise During IUI Treatment IUI involves controlled ovulation and insemination. Women are generally encouraged to continue low-impact and moderate exercises during IUI treatment. Avoid exercise on the day of the scheduled insemination. What Exercise CAN You Do During IUI? Recommended Exercises During IUI Swimming (gentle) Walking (moderate pace) Yoga (gentle, avoiding deep twists and inversions)

  6. Staying Healthy and Hopeful Once you have discussed your exercise plan with your doctor, adhere to the recommendations regarding when to refrain from exercise during specific periods of your treatment cycle. Prioritizing your health through appropriate exercise and a balanced lifestyle is important during fertility treatment. Always follow your fertility specialist's guidance on exercise. Focus on gentle activities that support your physical and emotional well-being. Wishing you all the best on your journey to parenthood.
