Hi everyone,

 So I have been TTC since March and I have had two failed pregnancies since that time.  Since then I can't stop thinking about all of the little things I may or may not have done to ensure that the egg would not implant properly.  

I have always been a fairly active person and I know that the experts say to continue activities as normal and pregnancies will adjust.  However, I'm a distance runner as well as a resistance trainer and I fear that that's too 'detoxifying' for TTC. So, I have quit running and toning but now I feel stressed and anxious due to lack of exercise.  Also, I keep gaining weight which makes me feel even worse.  

 I realize that I sound like a crazy person, but if there's someone else out there that can sympathize with my situation I would feel at ease.  I realize that each body is different and what works for me may not work for someone else and visa versa. 

I'm just curious about how much exercise is enough?  Too much?

    I can relate.  I ran marathons before starting TTC and have since cut out running completely.  It sucks (the PCOS+meds-exersize=weight gain), but if it's what I have to do then so be it.  I'll just be glad when I have something to show for it.

    12/10 - Clomid Round 2 = BFN
    1/11 - Voluntary Break = BFN (duh)
    2/11 - Clomid Round 3 = BFN
    3/11 - Femara + IUI = BFP * Beta#1=56 * Beta#2=266

    Well, since you got pg before, we at least know you're ovulating so that's a good sign! If I were you, I would keep excercising (maybe not as strenuously as usual) and then hold off on the excercise (or at least keep it low-impact) during your 2ww.

    I'm sorry for your losses :(

    I cannot relate to that level of exercise, but I would say it sounds like exercise eases stress for you, so you really shouldn't give it up entirely.  Can you exercise at a lower level?  Maybe still do a bit of running, but not the kind of intensity that you are used to?

    Is it something you can speak to your doctor about?

    All of the above.

    If exercise helps you, you need to continue. Unless you have been told by your doctor that it is time to cut back or cut out, it is really unnecessary. Since your body was used to your physical routine, there should have been no reason for that to have had anything to do with your miscarriages--again, unless you were advised otherwise by your doctor.

    I would recommend discussing your concerns with your doctor, but keep up your workouts, just at an easier pace.

    I'm very sorry for your losses.
