Exercise and TTC

Hello!
Just wondering if anyone is changing their exercise regime now that they are TTC? I normally go the gym about 3 times a week and then go jogging at the weekend. I'm assuming I can carry on as normal until I get a BFP. Is there any risk of over doing it? What do you think? Your thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

hi i have read that if your body is used to it you can carry on with exercise throughout pregnancy, so i assume its the same for TTC... i just think its a bad idea to suddenly start all these things when ttc/preg if you rbody isnt used to it, as you add extra strain on your body.x

Thanks for the replies. I'd heard the same thing about continuing to exercise if you do already so I guess it's ok to carry on as normal. It's just that I have quite an active job (i'm a teacher) so am on my feet most of the day. I often have to drag myself to the gym as I'm so tired after school but usually feel better afterwards. I was just wondering if I should keep up the same regime or take it slightly easier. Is it possible to overdo it and effect the chances of a BFP?

I think it's actually good for ttc. Exercise reduces stress and keeps the body at a healthy weight. I know that i keep to my regular exercise routine (3 times a week) then my AF is regular, whereas if i get a bit lazy it can make it late.

I think it's only an issue in regard to your weight. If your body fat is too low then you won't produce the right hormones.
