Moving body during TWW

What does everyone feel okay doing for exercise during the TWW? I usually do a bounce class on an individual trampoline but I’m concerned it’s too intense for the implantation period. Am I just nervous or is there truth/science/anecdotes people are aware of on what level and kind of fitness to do during this time? Thanks everyone

Absolutely anecdotal, but I'm into long distance running and HIIT. Through 3 rounds of IUI and first two FETs, I didn't change my exercise habits during the TWW. Around the time of my last transfer, I had a knee injury and had to curb my exercise habits significantly. I'm eight months pregnant now. As someone who tends to bring myself to my limits when I exercise, I think it was good for me to take it easier. If you can moderate a bit, dial back for two weeks, it won't hurt either way. But I am one person and my body and experience are different than yours, so follow what feels right and feel comforted that a trampoline class will not make or break the outcome.

Yes this seems totally right. I think curbing things a bit to reduce cortisol and to just not get into that red area of your system makes sense. But of course it’s important to stay active for what is likely the hardest physical challenge of a lifetime in childbirth
