Exercise when hormone injecting

Hi guys- start my hormones tomorrow got ivf (gonal f specifically)

I want to try and exercise during the time- anyone got any advice? I have no idea how I will respond to hormones- or if I'll feel like it - but really want to
Try- read some articles about not doing too much in case ovaries twist but not sure if that's fair?

That sounds extreme but they do get pretty big (I swear I felt like a hen about to burst when I went through my stimulation cycle). Swimming is a nice option.

Really depends how you respond to the drugs? I had 15 follicles and didn't really feel anything until the day before egg collection but if I had had more doing any twisting/vigorous exercise would have been out of the question as you can literally feel your ovaries are weighed down 😬
