Running a 10k 4 days before FET?

I want to run a 10k on 9/20. I have my FET set for 9/24. DO you think I should do it or skip it? There will be "no one" in there at the time of my 10k. Dr. B said there should be no "reason" to skip it but he might advise it just on the premise that if it doesn't work I won't regret doing the 10k. Any thoughts?

I would think it wouldn't make a difference b/c as you said there's no one in there yet, but honestly, if it were me, I would skip it. I'm all for relaxing and taking it easy around transfer time and I agree with him that you don't want to have any regrets!

Are you taking any meds for the FET? If not, I would totally do it. You'll have 4 days to "recover" from the race. If the FET doesn't work I personally would not look back and say the race is what caused it to not work. So it really depends on how you would feel in that situation. I think it's great for your mind and body which would actually be a positive thing

I wouldn't worry about it...I usually run up to the FET and then stop for the 2WW....

Good luck in the run - is that the Cow Harbor?

You aren't on any meds right now, right (at least ones that are making your ovaries huge, that is why no exercise on fresh cycle). So, you already are running, so you are in shape for it. I say do it. It will be a good distraction until your FET.

Good luck. (wow I feel so outta shape now).
