Hi
TTC for 12 months now (doc referred us to FA last week). Was doing some reading about excessive exercise; I like to keep active (have trained 10-15 hours/week regularly since 2005) but aside from a 3 month stint in 2007 i have always had regular cycles (just don't appear to ovulate according to pee-sticks and CM). Normal weight etc...
I did reduce training for 6 months of TTC (5-7 h/week) but found i needed to be able to have a focus on something other than my body clock [i was driving DH MAD - not to mention me!] so started again.
I did find this one article which sort-of explains 'stuff' but now i am convinced every run/bike is ruining my chances of a BFP.
I would have thought the exercise would only effect ttc if it messed up your cycles. Like i know that often body builders for example miss months of periods because of their diet and exercise regime.
I for one was exercising pretty hard out when I got preggers with Alex. I probably wasn't as fit as you because I hadn't been doing it as long but I would have been doing over 10 hrs a week.
Hi,
What my friends who have been pregnant were told that it was fine to exercise as long as it was something their body is used to and not a new thing - this included horseriding albeit gentle! I was told by my natural fertility specialist that as soon as I got pregnant I was to stop playing netball immediately but only because I have waited too long to get UTD and don't want to put that at risk for a game.
I guess you're FS will be able to tell you more...good luck.

Hey, i am in my 2 week wait through F.A. and advised not to go jogging- potentially heats up the core of your body- llike in a spa/ hot bath etc so that means the 'environment' for the embryo is not ideal. Slight possiblitiy it affects conception.
THEN you look at top athletes like Adine Wilson (harper) who concieve and played up til4-5months preggars with her bubs no issues......
If in doubt give it a rest for a few months- I understand how hard that will be though- see if it helps!
