Exercise & Fertility: Keep Training — When To Pause (Doctor + Athlete) | Dr. Sheeva Talebian


Listen Later

You don’t need to stop exercising before or during fertility treatment—pause near the end of the cycle and right after retrieval. Here’s how to train smart, read your body, and know when it’s too much (or not enough)—plus high‑level pregnancy guidance.  

  Dr. Sheeva Talebian (REI and competitive athlete) breaks down what’s safe, when to modify, and the signs you need more fuel, sleep, or hydration.

- You’ll learn  

  - What’s safe around IUI/IVF (and why you pause near trigger/retrieval)  
  - New understanding: don’t stop entirely—train smart, then resume  
  - Body signals: sleep, eating, hydration—signs of over/under‑doing it  
  - Two‑week wait mindset + movement  
  - Pregnancy: high‑level modifications and red flags
