I have been TTC for 8 months without success. Yesterday was my 43rd birthday, and I decided to start running again (something I use to love) to improve my health and regain some control. I stopped running because I was told it could hurt my chance of conceiving and that I needed to do "low impact" exercise. I walk my dogs, but that hasn't been enough. The result of not running has been nearly 15 pounds weight gain and that's likely hurting my chances of conception. Not sure if anyone can relate, but I feel like I put my life on hold to do what everyone else said was right and I need to stop worrying about that and do what feels right for me.
