Anyone here a runner and TTC?

Question

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever successfully received their BFP even after running long distances during and after ovulation? I’ve been TTC now for almost a year (my husband does have issues with low sperm count and morphology) and I just made the connection that because I ovulate towards the end of the week/weekend, it’s always when I have my long runs (8-14 miles) and I’m most active then. Hello energy boost. Is there any chance I’m screwing up the possibility of implementation but being excessively active during or after ovulation? Or is this just a stupid thought?

Answer

Yes too much exercise can impact TTC, but doesn't necessarily. I had a friend that dropped down to 5 miles and it worked, but every person is different.

Answer

You wouldn’t implant for 6-12 days after ovulation anyways. I think maintaining your physical health and mental clarity is far more important in the big scheme. Doctors always say the physical activities you do prior to getting pregnant can be continued throughout the pregnancy.

Answer

If it is what you are used then it shouldn’t. My sister runs marathons and found out she was pregnant right after her race day.

Answer

It’s recommended to not up the amount of exercise you do (unless you’re inactive-then you should exercise more), but if you are at a healthy for TTC BMI (too low or too high is bad), you shouldn’t have a problem maintaining the current exercise program.
