Working Out While Trying to Conceive

This is a HUGE struggle, should I workout while trying to conceive especially during the two-week wait. It’s hard enough dealing with the fact that EVERYONE around you is pregnant and thinking it’s all your fault that you aren't. My out is exercising.

Cancer and Fertility

/
After a cancer diagnosis, you begin a rush to harvest some eggs because you don't always know going into your surgery your exact treatment. We knew at some point this (IVF) might be the route we would have to go down just not in rapid-fire mode. We had exactly 20 days from cycle day 1 until surgery day, all the doctors talked and we got the go-ahead to start the egg retrieval process. To be honest we knew nothing out about it. It's a lot of paperwork work and crazy decisions at first.

It made me feel more comfortable and a little relieved to hear from her.
