What is a comfortable amount of exercise to not throw off your cycle but still able to work hard?

Question

I have always been an athlete and my fiance and I are ttc. I've completely stopped working out because I've been so afraid of throwing off my hormones and my ovulation and such. In turn I have gained weight and not happy with myself. But too afraid to work out again because I'm afraid of throwing things off. 
What is a comfortable amount of exercise to not throw off your cycle but still able to work hard?
TIA

Answer

I worked out 6 days a week so I would fall
Pregnant. Before we decided to try I did 2-3 but when we were trying I was working out 6 days. I fell pregnant, I would think if you’re already athletic and work out a lot then you should keep doing what you’re doing.

Answer

Exercising will not throw off your hormones. If anything it help regulate then.
Unless you're like training for the olympics or exercising so hard it is literally hurting your health then it won't throw off your cycle at all.

Answer

What matters the most is how much body fat you have. Athletes with a LOW body fat percentage stop having their cycles. Those of us who have a normal percentage still have regular cycles. I was ttc for 6 months cycling to work (34 miles round trip), weight training, working out like 6 to 10 hours a week. I ate more food to gain a couple extra pounds and got pregnant. Didnt change my Exercise routine.

Answer

3-5 days.

Answer

Definitely start off slow like 1-2 days a week then little by little increase a day or 2 until you are in a routine that you are comfortable with also make sure that you limit your time at the gym when starting too start with 30 minutes then increase slowly
