working out while TTC?
Does this hurt or help? I haven't worked out in a very long time, I'm embarrassed to even post how long it's been. My plan is to do 15 minutes on the elliptical about 3 times a week but this is only my 2nd week. Can this hurt my chances of conceiving?

Re: working out while TTC?
healthier habits are only going to help... as long as youre not training for the olympics with serious workouts it would never hurt...

I would say that it can actually help since your body is becoming more active. Like PP said healthier lifestyles always help.

Re: working out while TTC?
awesome. I think I'm too old to start training for the olympics so guess I'm good!

Re: working out while TTC?
my doctor told me not to work out. For some reason no one else has heard this. She said that women who workout have lower fertility levels.

i have never heard this, and if there is any truth to it at all it would be in the case of extreme workouts, like marathon training.
15-60 minutes a day will only help you and most if not all doctors encourage it and tell you to continue while you're pregnant.

Re: working out while TTC?
i had been ttc for a year. all throughout i worked out 3-4 times a week, 60 minutes. I did cardio and weights. I am now just shy of 6 weeks pregnant and am going to the gym in a few minutes (lightened my workout a lot) This is my second preg. in the last year (first was chemical). In addition we had a few different fertility issues to deal with (male and female). I dont know if working out had anything to do with it...in my opinion no....but take what you will.

My Dr. told me something similiar. I was told by her to cut back on the cardio which I told her I do 5 days a week.

Re: working out while TTC?
I worked out while TTC and pregnant with  - all the way through 39 weeks. Just keep your heartrate below 160 (from what my OB, physical therapist and fit pregnancy magazine). I also took tons of prenatal yoga and pilates classes which were awesome!
Now with TTC #2 I was working out but m/c and went into a funk. I've yet to get back to working out but it's not for any other reason than I can't motivate these days. I know it will improve blood flow and balance hormones, I just need to get started again!
