Bikram (or hot) yoga while TTC?

KeptSwimming

I've done Bikram yoga a few times, but now that my husband and I are TTC, what do you think about my continuing? I'm concerned that it will raise my core temperature and inhibit sperm from reaching their mark... If anyone is familiar, please share your thoughts!

I did Bikram 5-6 days a week before and while TTC.  I'm pretty sure that it's one of the main reasons why I got pregnant right away.  I did stop when I got pregnant (although I really wanted to continue) but the heat was just too much.

I think it's fine, but I probably wouldn't do it in the 2ww period, just in case.  Good luck!

Thanks, everyone! My 2ww has just begun so I'll definitely wait to be safe.

I did it in the 2ww of my BFP cycle.  I wouldn't worry about it until you get your BFP...you would still take hot bath, use a sauna or hottub, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I did it the day before I got my BFP (I had a BFN few days prior and I thought I was out/waiting for AF to appear). Doesn't seem to have had any ill effect.

So I think it's probably fine. I would definitely stop as soon as you get a BFP, the 2WW thing is somewhat of a personal comfort thing. You could ask your doctor also.
