Should I stop working out?

Question

Hi ladies!
I’m on my first round of Letrozole and ovulation started today so the doctor told us to get busy.... the nurse also told me to stop any “high impact workouts that can get my body temperature high”. Has anyone else been told that? I thought i would be okay until I get a BFP and I really don’t want to stop going to my heavy cardio classes.

Answer

My doctor said the same thing to me but mostly because she didn’t want me to lose weight. I still do some high intensity work outs (Orangetheory, weightlifting and HIIT) but typically during my period and the weeks before ovulation. Then during my TWW, I do less high impact work outs like yoga, Pilates and walking. I do believe that if your body is using up a lot of energy during muscle rebuilding, it might lack energy to make that baby. My health is important to me but physical appearance isn’t worth not being able to have a baby.
But I have seen fitness gurus and people at the gym get pregnant so I think it’s possible. I just don’t want to take the risk.
