How dangerous is working out while TTC? I stopped working out all together and now one of my favorite pairs of pants don't fit!!! I used to workout every morning but wanted to stop while TTC... but I don't want to blow up!

Its not dangerous, its actually encouraged to be healthy and maintain a good body weight.

Super athletes and Olympic-style workouts can affect ovulation, but most of us don't work out to that extreme.

Bikram yoga, which raises your core body temp (in a 105 degree room) can also affect ovulation.

I did not know that about Bikram...good to know!

Oy. All I can say to this thread is...

really???

If POM juice helps to thicken the endometrial lining, then if pregnancy does not occur, would you experience a heavier than normal period?

Gals on here who have done the POM thing consistently say yes.

Can you weigh in then? I was more asking posters on the board in general, than the OP specifically.

How does Bikram yoga affect ovulation?

How does Bikram yoga affect ovulation?

Any activity that raises your core body temp consistently so high (like going to Bikram a few times a week) can delay or prevent ovulation. The room is like 105+ degrees to start, and while the point of the workout is to raise your core body temp its not reccommended for those TTC.

Regular yoga is fine, its things like that or frequent tanning that raise core body temp that are a concern.

Is it unusual to ovulate with creamy CM instead of eggwhite CM?

A quick google search finds a lot on this, WTE site says it as good as any:

If you?re into yoga:
Yoga is an ideal exercise before pregnancy. It builds strength, balance, endurance, and muscle tone, and it helps to relax you ? all things that will help your conception efforts. But it?s not without risk (hey, it?s hard to make like a pretzel!). Yoga injuries are common, and they can derail your baby-making efforts (imagine trying to get busy under the sheets when you have a back injury!), so you?d be smart to seek out the guidance of a teacher who can help you pinpoint your body?s limits. Plus, if you?re a fan of the super-hot Bikram yoga, you?ll probably want to cool it with that one for now. This form of yoga involves doing poses in a room that?s heated to between 95 and 105 degrees, and some doctors don?t recommend it while TTC. First, this is an especially strenuous type of yoga (which can leave you dizzy and dehydrated even if you?ve been doing yoga for years) and could potentially interfere with your cycle. Second, if you?re actively trying to get pregnant, sperm and egg can meet at any time, making you officially pregnant even if you haven?t gotten the happy confirmation from a pregnancy test ? and exercising in an overly hot room isn?t safe for your brand-new developing fetus. But there?s no reason you can?t adapt your yoga routine to your needs now. Talk with your yoga instructor (and your doctor) to find the yoga style that will work for you.

Is it unusual to ovulate with creamy CM instead of eggwhite CM?

Yes, the pattern is typically period-- dry--- creamy--- wet--- eggwhite.

You can O at any time with varied CM, but the traditional, mostly healthy pattern shows W or EW around O time. Lots of women have creamy after O too.

Creamy is not the ideal enviornment for sprem to survive in, though stranger things have happened.

If you have creamy CM around O, it could be your "normal", or you may be misinterpreting CM styles.

That's what I thought too. I'm only on my first chart and I think I misread my therm or something. When I thought I should be O, CM was eggwhite and all seemed good. Then the temps started fluctuating.which moved my O day. We'll see what happens in cycles to come.

So, some doctors recommend against it and it could potentially interfere with your cycle.

Interesting. I've never heard of a woman's core temperature affecting fertility. I'm going to have to do some research and see if I can find any studies that support that.

I disagree. Click on my ticker and look back on my charts, I do not show this pattern. The cycle she listed above may be a textbook pattern, but it varies by person.

Yes. But isn't the case with all information we post here? Lots of information varies by person and doctor. That is what I know, and I posted it to help. I don't mean to give the impression my advice is the final word for sure.

I agree, definitely varies per person (with most topics on here). I just answered with what I know, have read, and experienced. My answer is not the final one for sure, I'm sure she wanted a few opinions. Thanks for the help and an example of your own charts!

Very true. My chart has some similarities to yours. I know I shouldn't be trying to analyze my one chart, but it's good to note for future ones.

Just sounded like a statement of fact in your original post. If it's possible that it can affect ovulation, say that. Don't paraphrase it and say it can affect ovulation. May seem like a small distinction, but to me it's not.

Kind of a trend I've noticed with your posts; maybe it's just me.

Ok, thank you. I'll keep that in mind and totally get what you're saying. I got a few similar feedback posts today, will be more mindful of my phrasing. Thanks!
