    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.

    Hi, I asked my doctor something, but I need anonymous internet people to give me "REAL information".

    Meh.

    I already pointed out this is not a trying to conceive forum. That point seems to be lost on them.

    I don't care. It's not relevant.

    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.

    Figured I might as well make it as crystal clear as possible.

    High impact exercise may negatively affect conception. There is research saying it does, research saying it has a positive effect on conception, and research showing no significant difference. The evidence is not conclusive in any direction.

    Ergo, OP is not stupid for asking the question. Given she's not looking to use it as a contraceptive, for heaven's sake.

    Which research is this?

    It doesn't matter if she's looking to use the info as a form of contraception or not, the fact remains she did her own research and spoke with her doctor yet she's "desperate" for answers.

    That type of mentality isn't smart (one which you get medical clarification yet you still go out trying to find a magical solution). That is the type of mentality that leads to mistakes and falling for scams.

    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.

    ETA: can -> could

    She believes it may be due to infertility due to how long they have been trying.
    1-2 years is becoming more and more normal for pregnancies to happen.

    Probably due to starting birth control at a younger and younger age, and using it for greater lengths of time. Not unusual for women to start BC at 16 or younger and use it for 10-15 years.

    IVF sepcialists recommend this because you are under going a form of surgery. Like any ANY other surgery you are not supposed to exercise, lift heavy, jump for a specific amount of time.

    Asking this question on an internet forum instead of asking your doctor is pretty stupid.

    Jumping cannot affect the probability of getting pregnant.

    I will say that HIIT exercising seems to keep me from getting pregnant. However, I never go anywhere in heels, so that might have an impact as well...seriously, enjoy your exercise. Being and staying healthy will be a positive for you and your baby to come!

    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.
    Are you doing these things while having sex?

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

    Can't move my eyes away......................... B)

    I wonder why this gif keeps getting flagged. I think people are misconstruing the context.
    Maybe because it's hi-jacking the OP's thread?

    Not really. There's plenty of other posts for highjacking. This gif was actually my own shock at an asinine comment someone else said.

    But, hey, I identified the flagger. Thanks!
    Nah, I don't waste my time flagging. If I see something worthy of reporting I will but flagging doesn't really cover any of this since it's not extreme spam or major abuse.

    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!

    Thanks for you contribution to this thread and your great advice to the OP.

    OP: I've never had kids, but I've had lots of friends who got pregnant incorporating regular exercise into their daily routine. Make sure you are making the most of when you are ovulating (there are over the counter kits that help you figure out when it's optimal), and give it some time. If in a year you can't conceive, go to a fertility specialist. If you are that impatient, you could see one now; but, they may just tell you to be patient. But, at least you'd know if there were any issues.

    eh... no. At best, the bolded comment is the only reasonable comment you could have made.

    I don't think anyone said the OP is stupid. I think we all realize that the question is stupid however. See, this might be something that escapes some... but smart people can ask or think stupid things.

    For example, James Watson believes people of color are inferior and have less developed brains. However, I don't think you'll find anyone who thinks Watson is stupid.

    At the end of the day, walking, laying down, eating, breathing, drinking, riding a bike, or reading the newspaper may negatively affect conception, contraception, gestation, lactation, immobilization, and or irradiation. Doesn't mean one can't google the specific "concern" after discussing with a doctor to find the "concern" isn't realistic, reasonable, or logical.

    I'm OP.
    Like someone already mentioned here, I just need reassurance on the jumping issue.

    Thank you everyone for contributing so much to my thread. I did not really expect to get so many feedback.

    This is a public place. When one dares to ask a question here, ones should be prepared for all kinds of answers, right?.

    I'm really grateful for everyone who understand my concern and give me the answer to my question. Thank you very much for your support! Now, I have no doubt to continue my exercise routine unless a doctor discovers some infertility issues and tells me to stop.

    This is not fertility forum, but I will answer some of your questions here. I use ovulation predictor kits for a year, and do the deed often enough. I take supplements to prepare myself. I read and learn about fertility enough to know that I do it correctly. However, I'm still not pregnant. (This is why I'm desperate enough to ask this question here.) My gynecologist is not an infertility specialist, but she gave me a lot of good advice and suggested me what I should do next. We will see an infertility doctor after my husband gets tested which will be next year.

    OP I got pregnant twice whilst doing martial arts including a lot of jumping kicks. I would not say the HIIT is your issue and I hope you and husband are successful and manage to conceive soon

    I was at his speech he gave when he got his whole genome sequenced. That was a pretty horrible experience. In case you weren't aware, he also hates Jewish people and Irish people. But you're right; he's a smart guy just says some very stupid things sometimes.

    OP I think if you stopped stressing over it, it will happen.

    I know of a couple, who had the same problem, she stressed about for years and they finally gave up (doctor said their was no issues) and adopted a baby, few months later she was pregnant.

    So stop stressing and let it happen.

    While I sympathise with why you're asking OP, this thread has had me thinking about kangaroos all day.
