Nor will "jumping exercise" In fact, excercise will keep you healthy, which is ideal for getting pregnant. If it's been a year and a half with no success in getting pregnant, I would suggest seeing a fertility specialist. There could be a multitude of issues, with either you or your husband. I'm betting that exercise isn't one of them.
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.
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).

On the contrary; if that were the case then there would be fewer people on welfare and less single mothers with multiple baby-daddies.

I don't care. It's not relevant.Really? You think it'd be hard to find more instances of this?
I mean, it's spinning you up, so I think it's funny, but it's not relevant. OP is asking if jumping exercises will impact conception. I mean seriously, think about that.
You're conjuring up a 1 off trauma and attempting to correlate it to exercise. There's zero logic in that, and really, it just looks like you want us to feel for your mother. I know I do, that's a sad story, but accidents happen, and sad stories happen every day.
In case I needed to be clear, a car accident is not the same as an exercise routine, if it is, you're doing one of them wrong. You really need to focus.
trying to conceive, actually having a baby inside you, pretty much anything to do with the process makes people wonder about things that they may already know the answer to..or make them scared to do things that they know deep down are ok. some women worry continuing to run or follow whatever usual workout routines will hurt the baby. some men are worried about having sex with their pregnant partners. there is a lot of worry surrounding tiny humans..rational or not. it happens.0 -
I got pregnant through a type of HIIT exercise.0

Is this real life?-1

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.
Did no one read this?! Shes not being stupid and asking if jumping is a form of contraceptive, she already has done research and talked to her doctor. OP is just looking for reassurance.0 -

Nope, these exercises will not affect your fertility. In the third trimester, your doctor may advise not jumping around; just follow your doc's instructions with regard to exercise.0

Totally this. I used to consider myself a rational person but the sort of things I've worried about over the past few months seem so silly in retrospect. I didn't think much of this post after reading a pregnancy forum for a while. I am sorry to the original poster that you've gotten so much flak for your question. Maybe you will want to join one of the pregnancy groups on here or on another site for future questions. I do wish you luck and think you just need to find a way to reduce your stress.0 -
Not having sex isn't quite as much a guarantee as jumping exercises, but it's much less tiring.0

She didn't come here to be insulted FFS. People do not magically know the answers to everything, so they ask other people in order to get information. What's wrong with that? For those who have nothing positive to communicate then surely you have other things to do with your time!0

She's already talked to a doctor and did research but she's still asking for confirmation :huh:
I understand irrational fears, but she's saying she's "desperate" and just looking for anything to latch on to or some reasoning to something that no stranger on the internet can really give her...which, in my opinion, isn't smart.
That's like the equivalent of crash dieting or popping random diet pills in hopes of losing weight or jumping at the opportunity to just drink water with lemon and cayenne pepper for 3 or 7 days just because people say it will work.

Once again.
I didn't conjure a one-off trauma and attempt to correlate it to exercise. At no point did I suggest that a car accident was similar to exercise. I refuted a previous statement that a car accident that doesn't directly injure the abdomen can't cause a miscarriage. That statement was bull and that was the SOLE POINT of that paragraph. Nothing to do with exercise.
The next paragraph in that post was an entirely different topic. Nothing to do with a car accident in any way, shape, or form.
In case you don't follow. New topic starting now.
What is irritating me is that people are giving OP answers that are true for women with a healthy uterus. And she probably does have one. But if she has reason to suspect infertility, to the point of getting tests, then you have to entertain the idea that her uterus may not be healthy. And in that case, then it is recognized that exercise could negatively effect implantation. There is a reason that IVF specialists recommend no exercise on the day of embyo transfer, and not lifting heavy weights, or exercises involving jumping for a short time afterward.
Is that the most likely scenario? No. I would be willing to bet that it isn't the problem, the odds are so low. But it hardly warrants people calling the OP stupid and suggesting she shouldn't reproduce.
BTW, I don't really care if you feel for my mother or not. What would be the point? You don't know her, she doesn't know you. Only reason to mention her at all is because she happened to be a direct refutation of the statement.

Not everyone who thinks this should have children.

I wonder why this gif keeps getting flagged. I think people are misconstruing the context.

I've got 3 children and exercising hasn't stopped me getting pregnant. In fact, I'm sure it helped as I was super healthy and fit. I got pregnant the first month with my first child, the third month with my second, and the second month with my third! I also exercised all pregnancy with my first and third.
If you're having problems conceiving then going to the doctor is your best bet then you can have all the necessary checks.0 -
