I need some guidance please. So I run 8km 3 times a week, and gym 5 times a week. Currently trying to build a bit of muscle. I am now TTC and wondering if I need to cut back a bit? I am a P.T and work in an EMS gym so my lifestyle is extremely active.

Question

Answer

I would only cut it back if you don’t get your period regularly.

Answer

I don’t see why you should! :) when you do get pregnant, you can continue too. Tho the first trimester is tiring , you can modify it.

Answer

You’ll never build muscle doing that much cardio. Cut back the cardio, and just life. I would only do interval cardio, and that’s it.

Answer

So I’m a cpt and have had some fertility issues as well! I run a lot and train 6x a week too. I visited the obgyn concerning dryness, mood swings, weird pms symptoms and infertility, and was asking about exercise in relation and she told me excessive exercise can disrupt your hormones and lower estrogen. I have regular periods but I have had trouble conceiving and have weird hormonal fluctuations when I started training more. They have not tested my hormones yet but maybe that’s the next option!

Answer

I read somewhere to take it easy during your fertile week/during your 2ww..not sure if it’s true but from what I read it said high impact training can effect whether or not an egg will implant for a woman of healthy weight..I have no idea if that’s true but it got me paranoid..

Answer

As long as you have high enough body fat and your cycles are regular you should be fine

Answer

You can still continue to workout if your ttc and even during pregnancy. Your body is going to be used to the workouts and movements it’s really only dangerous if you’ve never worked out before and then start while pregnant.

Answer

I worked out all the way up until I went through IVF round (I only stopped because I was on vacation when I went through) I’m high risk now but still try and do some type or walking each day. You should continue to workout as much as you want and there’s plenty of ladies who continue to lift while pregnant as well. Consult with your DR once pregnant but up until that point you should be fine.
