Excercise preventing conception?

[hugomum]

Hi,

We have been ttc now for 7 - 8 months (losing count) we fell pregnant with our son who is now 16months almost straight away.

After having our son I had a bit of weight to lose so I joined the gym and hired a personal trainer and trained really hard 4 days a week and lost all my post baby weight and now i just love going 3 times a week to do the classes. I was wondering though if you excersise when your ovulating can it stop the egg from implanting? can all the jigging around hinder the process or overheating be a problem? could i not be getting preggas cause I am excercising too much or should i just stop the week of ovulation?.

I know I ovulated last week and we did what we needed to do but then this week I did 4 classes would that have stopped implantation?

Thanks for your help.

Hello hugomum,

My doctor said to me that i can exercise as much as i want but my man should limit his exercise cause it may exhaust his spermcount or something like that. And its funny cause we go to the gym each wk too and i am a bit lazy when it comes to exercising but my man LOVES it! So he has to limit himself (but he dont wana) and i can do as much as i want (but i dont wana) lol.

Goodluck and i hope u fall soon!:fingerscrossed:

I fell pregnant first cycle with DD and took up pilates that month, though pilates may be a little more gentler and i only did classes once a week.

I fell pregnant and was rock climbing three times a week, 3 hours per session.

I think it only effects you of you are underweight and have too low body fat. That is what prevents ovulation. if you are ovulating you will be fine,

And as for body heat. just think of all the Arab women living in the desert .. they have no problem conceiving.
