Are you sure that you're hitting your fertile window (the time of the cycle that you ovulate) every cycle? Are you temping and charting? If you don't know what those terms mean, I suggest going to the Fertility Friend website and doing the tutorials there.
It's actually amazing how little most women understand about their own fertility and how to get pregnant. This isn't an indictment on you, OP, just our education system.
FYI, it can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant. Longer if they aren't hitting the fertile window. So step one, is to ensure that you are hitting the fertile window consistently. After that, then its time to see a specialist (a reproductive endocrinologist, not an OB-GYN. OB-GYNs are not fertility experts, they are pregnancy experts. It's two different things).0 -
Babies/embryos are very well protected. A jumping exercise should not cause problems during conception/early pregnancy unless you are receiving trauma to your abdomen. I was doing Jillian Michaels DVDs along with running when I got pregnant. I am now 34 weeks and baby is good. As another mentioned if you are cutting calories too low or over training that could impact fertility.0

I did get pregnant doing HIIT, plyometrics, etc. etc. It has nothing to do with getting pregnant or not. As long as you have enough body fat, being healthy can't be bad for fertility! You can exercise before and during your pregnancy (unless you're at risk or something). I exercise, lift heavy weights, etc. and I am 21 weeks pregnant and everything is going perfectly.
Exercise doesn't cause miscarriage and it won't cause you to not get pregnant either.0 -
when we were younger, my girlfriend (now wife) used to do jumping jacks immediately after coitus to avoid pregnancy. it worked like a charm!
for 3 months. oops.-2 -
The only way exercise can prevent a pregnancy is if you suddenly up your level of exercise. This puts stress on the body and has been known to induce a miscarriage. If you are already used to a certain level of exercise, keep it up. It does nothing but good for you.0

I honestly can't believe the insensitivity contained here. Is there really no compassion?
It is truly frustrating and baffling when something like getting pregnant doesn't happen for you, when it happens for most so easily. People will go to HUGE lengths to question every single thing they are doing (or not doing) as to why it's not happening.
OP: I'm sorry you are having difficulties. Those who mock you obviously have never experienced the desperate nature that you find yourself in, or they wouldn't be so condescending. Please don't pay them any attention. Keep on your path of fitness and wellbeing and continue to make your body well for your future child's growth and development. I hope your doctor can find some answers for you very quickly. Hugs to you, I know how difficult an emotional and stressful journey like this can be.

If you were extremely anti fat and had a BMI that was too low it would not prevent pregnancy but it would make it hard to keep the pregnancy. I've known a few girls like this who keep losing babies and despite their doctors telling them to eat more healthy fats and get the BMI UP into the healthy range, they were just to afraid to eat any fat. But unless you have history of trouble attaching to the uterine wall or attaching in the wrong location, where the growth or stretching of the uterine wall is where attachment occurs and there is the possibility of it detaching, then you should have no problem with those workouts.0

I mean if the doctor already told you exercising is good for you, I would not question it. They know what needs to be done in order to find out why you are not getting pregnant. That is what all those test are for. Both you and your husband need to get check out. Well I guess just him now. I honestly have never heard of anyone not being able to get pregnant due to jumping exercises. Check your stress levels. Maybe take a break and stop trying so hard. Usually that is when it happens.0

When I was pregnant with both my boys, and especially with this last one, I exercised almost every single day. I was 8 months pregnant and walking anywhere between 3-5 miles a day. I also jogged and did aroebice exercise DVD's.
You will not shake a newly implated egg loose. Your uterus is like a big protective bubble. You can be in a car accident, and as long as there's not direct trauma to your belly, the baby will be just fine. They're ultra protected in there.
Keep exercising, I can almost guarentee that is not the reason why you can't concieve.
Not true. A car accident caused my mother to have a miscarriage when she was 4mos along in her 2nd pregnancy. The only obvious injury was to my mother's foot - broke the bones across the top of her arch. Of course, the impact causes trauma to the whole body and this was no bumper-bender.
Guys, you're really going on about the wrong issue, here. Yes, of course, some jumping around is not going to prevent implantation in a healthy uterus. But there are conditions where exercise can prevent implantation. Some women on infertility treatments are prescribed bed rest for that reason. It's not a stupid question if you're not getting pregnant for long enough to suspect infertility in one or both partners.0 -
um. I think you might be joking about this. Find an online ovulation calculator. Have lots of sex while ovulating. You will get pregnant unless you or your husband is medically unable0

to be honest, I think ppl just read the headline for the post without reading the post itself. op is not asking if jumping exercises PREVENT pregnancy in a contraceptive-like manner, but if they could possibly interfere with getting pregnant if one is actively trying to conceive.0 -
Bouncing and exercise won't interfere with conception.

If you stop having periods and you are not getting pregnant that could be a sign that you aren't getting enough nutrition.0 -
You need a new doctor. 1.5 yrs of trying to conceive is not normal. Find a physician who specializes in infertility and get answers.0

Actually, jumping can help you get pregnant, but jumping can also keep you from getting pregnant, so you have to make sure you jump the correct way. Put most of the weight on your left foot while jumping to prevent, and more weight on the right foot to conceive.

car accident =/= exercise
*face palm*
Also ...I ask my doctor, and she said exercise is good, and should not cause any problem.
Clearly it's *not* a problem for OP per her doctor.
Reading comprehension. Try it.
I quoted and bolded a post about how a car wreck is not going to cause a miscarriage in a pregnant woman if there's no overt trauma to the belly - because the implanted fetus is so secure. That's bull, it certainly can, as I said in the first paragraph. At no point did I equate a car accident to exercise.
Second paragraph, different topic, addresses the posts on exercise. Get it?
OK, new topic starting now, in regards to OP's doctor telling her exercise is fine.
Is OP's doctor an infertility doctor? Was OP's doctor thinking of OP as someone who has had problems with fertility when answering that question? Probably not, since OP is only now thinking of going in for infertility tests.
Look, it's really simple. Let's put it in terms everyone on the forums can understand. Let's pretend we're talking about eating sugar.
Let's say OP asks the question if sugar is bad for you and toxic and if it'll hurt her to eat it. She says it makes her tired. Everyone comes out of the woodwork to tell her no, that's all diet hype and here's why. Maybe eat some protein or fat with it to avoid a crash. She calls her doctor, who tells her it's no problem, and here's why. And we all tell her this because as far as we know, she's healthy. And if she is, we're all correct.
But as it happens, OP is in the early stages of diabetes and just hasn't a recent enough blood test to know this. But she knows something is off. So as it happens, sugar is a problem for OP and we are all wrong.
Same difference. The answers you give an apparently healthy woman regarding fertility are not necessarily correct for a woman who has issues with infertility (as OP suspects is possible).0 -
If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all....
Fertility issues are very hard, best of luck! and relax (:0 -
Get Both you and your husband should get tested. I starting trying when I was 27 and probably cannot get pregnant w/o medical help. I'm 34 now. Hopefully nothing is wrong and I don't want to scare you at all. But the sooner you now the sooner you can plan.
The exercise is probably not keeping you from getting pregnant.
send me a private message if you have an infertility questions. I understand the desperation.0 -
I was working out to that degree when I conceived.0
-
OP: honey, posting here is not going to help you get pregnant either. You are obviously working with your physician, which is the only qualified person you should be listening to at this point, not a bunch of complete strangers on the internet. Also, make sure the hubby gets tested too, perhaps his boys don't know how to swim. That, and boink the hell outta your hubby. Have fun with it! Stress can effect outcomes, so *try* to relax and enjoy the fact that you essentially carte blanc permission to randy it up all day, every day. Good luck to you.

Thank you saved me from saying it
The question may sound a little silly; but, when you are trying to get pregnant and can't you worry about anything and everything you might be doing wrong. Infertility is so emotionally draining and terrifying b/c you never think it will be you unless you have a reason like an cancer or turners syndrome. I hope you never have to go through it. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.0 -

but, this one time at band camp.
Really? You think it'd be hard to find more instances of this? All it takes is for mom to go into shock for there to be a pretty decent chance of losing the fetus.
I'm sure that never happens in a car accident where the abdomen isn't directly traumatized. /sarcasm
Fetal Physiology
The effect of trauma on pregnancy depends on the gestational age of the fetus, the type and severity of the trauma, and the extent of disruption of normal uterine and fetal physiology. The survival of the fetus depends on adequate uterine perfusion and delivery of oxygen. The uterine circulation has no autoregulation which implies that uterine blood flow is related directly to maternal systemic blood pressure, at least until the mother approaches hypovolemic shock. At that point, peripheral vasoconstriction will further compromise uterine perfusion. Once obvious shock develops in the mother, the chances of saving the fetus are about 20 %.

I am 29 years old, 5'0, 116 lbs. I am kind of skinny fat with around 25% of fat. My weight been like this for years. I'd never been overweight.
My routine is 30-60 min, 5-6 days a week using exercise DVDs. Now, I'm on last month of Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution. Before this, I used T25 and FitnessBlender. The maximum weights that I use is 3kgx2 (6.6lbsx2).
I just wonder whether these jumping and HIIT exercises prevent me from getting pregnant or not. Should I just stick to low-impact exercises, like walking, swimming, stationary bicycle, and moderate weight training?
I ask my doctor, and she said exercise is good, and should not cause any problem. However, I would like to know from your own experience. Did you get pregnant while doing HIIT cardio exercise, or other kinds of jumping exercises?
I know I should believe my doctor and many other articles that I read, but I am so desperate to have a baby that I'm willing to do many ridiculous things like stop exercising. Please let me know, just for a peace of mind, if you succeeded in getting pregnant while work out regularly.
It has been more than 1.5 year that I am trying to conceive my first baby without any lucks. I have regular period (every 26 days +/-2). I ovulate regularly. My gynecologist always finds an egg via ultrasound. Of course, we will do more throughout test for both me and my husband after holidays.
Thanks

One, this is not a TTC forum.
Two, the woman is 29 and seriously asked about JUMPING keeping her from being pregnant. Twenty-nine. My 10 year old understands reproduction better, and knows that "jumping up and down" will not prevent pregnancy.
Also, did I mention that this is not a TTC forum? Because it's not, nor is it a medical advice forum.
that reminded me..i had a 32 year old ask me if I was able to swim while pregnant or if the baby would drown. she is now trying to get pregnant.-2 -
