exercising when TTC
My doctor told me not to because it lowers your fertility and its pretty much killing me not being able to. She says I can do low impact workouts where I do not sweat. Any of your doctors tell you this?

I agree. I've been exercising throughout my pregnancy. My doctors have been strongly encouraging it. I also exercised during ttc as well. I can't see how something that is so healthy and good for you can lower your chances.

Re: exercising when TTC
I don't agree with this at all. Who works out without breaking a sweat? Maybe if your doctor had said no super intensive training, like marathon training I could kind of understand. I think it's great to workout while you are TTC, especially since you aren't supposed to start a new fitness plan when pregnant. I was able to workout my whole pregnancy because I had a good routine in place from before I got pg.

Re: exercising when TTC
i have heard this through friends etc.. mainly because when you do strenous excercise you shock your body and can throw off your cycle.. unless of course you have always worked out and you will not be doing anything out of the ordinary..

I think this is true to an extent. I think for your cycles to be effected you have to really be doing some serious exercise and training - probably nothing that most of us would be doing unless we were training for the olympics.
Having said that, I workout 4-5 times a week (sometimes more) and have no plans on stopping. The only thing my doc said was when I do get preggers I will have to limit or stop pilates.

Re: exercising when TTC
My Dr. told me to cut back on the cardio. I have yet to follow her instructions and we are now on to month #4 of TTC.
I really do believe that the intensity MAY affect conception.
Some people work out harder then others.

Re: exercising when TTC
My SIL is a compulsive exercisor (no seriously she has a problem) She works out 6-7 days per week 1-3 hours per day. She is on baby#2 and got pregnant twice with no problem....oh and she barely eats...not that Im saying its ok because her personality sucks, Im just saying.

Re: exercising when TTC
I've never heard this and find really odd. I worked out regularly/had a physically demanding job and had no trouble getting pregnant with #1.
I think starting a barand new excerscise routine while ttc could affect your cycles and make it harder but keeping up with regular activity shouldn't hinder your chances.
Did your dr. give explain why she thought this? I'm curious.

Re: exercising when TTC
She just said that women who work out a lot have lower fertility levels. I guess maybe she is telling me because my periods are irregular and I have been TTC for about a year.
