Brief Answer:
Swimming does not affect progesterone levels

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

It is not good to transfer embryo if progesterone levels are more than 1.5. Try next cycle.

Swimming is not going to help in reducing progesterone levels. It has no effect.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

No impact before FET

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

She can go for any physical activity including swimming before FET. but no sort of exercise or swimming is recommended after FET. she needs to take rest post FET.
