SWIMMING AFTER IUI

[SANIGSTOOO]

Hey girls ~ had IUI on Monday (7/28) @11, and had an Acupuncture appt scheduled for Wednesday (which my acupuncturist cancelled to be safe) ~ my acupuncturist also told me to lay around as if it was an IVF, and not to do anything strenuous for a few days ~ I waited a couple of days and planted some pretty flowers in our gardens, and then went swimming ~ to be sure I called my RE office and they said not to do any swimming to prevent any infections from happening..??..  My last pregnancy (12yrs ago) I was allowed to go swimming and be in the hottub up to 98*, so it doesn't make any sense ~ is it because I'm using Cronin suppositories..??..

~Anyone..??..

swimming is excercise... NO activity or excercise after transfer.

You said IUI then said IVF... which is it? Either way, it was a transfer, and it's up to you if you want to play roullette with the ingredients that were transfered.

Best of luck...

It sounds like you're RE is just being overly cautious. Chances of getting an infection from taking a swim is pretty low...unless you're swimming in contaminated swamp water or something...LOL! But if he (or she) doesn't want to you to swim, I would probably wait anyway.

Good luck to you!
