Hello all!
I used theknot back in 2011 when my husband I were planning our wedding and used thebump in 2012 when we were ttc our first time. Our sweet baby girl was diagnosed with anencephaly at our 12 week ultrasound. Ellie was born July 9th 2013 (38 weeks) and lived for 15 minutes. We miss her more than words can describe.
My husband and I have been ttc for two months now since Ellie passed away. Here's my question: To help myself with the grief and stress at work/grad school I have been working out quite a bit. I have been working out 3 or 4 hours a week, an hour at a time. I have been taking body pump and body combat at my local gym. Anyone find that, that much working out to be a negative when ttc? Could it be the reason we aren't pregnant yet?
I asked the trainers at the gym who teach the classes if they were safe while ttc, one said yes up until 20 weeks and the other one said to talk to my Dr. and thinking about internal temperature while working out= too hot for baby.
I have been working out this hard since November...
Any advice would be appreciated!

All ALers welcome!
Working out before conception takes place shouldn't have an affect on getting pregnant. However, once you become pregnant, you will want to consult with your doc....might not be a bad idea to check in beforehand, as well. Also, when pregnant, you will want to make sure you are monitoring your heart rate and that you aren't doing too many anaerobic exercises because that means you aren't getting oxygen, and if you aren't, then baby isn't either. HTH!
