  • Exercise After Intrauterine Insemination

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    My husband and I have been trying for 1 1/2; years to conceive and are now under the care of a reproductive endocrinologist. I have been an avid runner and do some moderate weight lifting for about 6 years now. We had the Intrauterine Insemination a little over a week ago and I am dying to work out, but many people have said to just hang tight for a couple of weeks.

    Is this necessary? Will running or lifting some weights have any affect on conception? Please advise...
