    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.
    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.

    right. so we should all just stop having babies, then.

    wouldn't bother me at all actually.

    cool. you, and others who don't want children, can stop having babies. those who think having the opportunity to be a parent is more rewarding than no worries concerning the subject, can have/try to have babies.

    Not everyone who thinks this should have children.

    Not everyone who thinks what?? That jumping can prevent implantation or that the worry that comes with being a parent isn't an issue because the awesomeness of your child overshadows all of potential cons?

    Who are you to say who should and should not have children? I don't feel that something as trivial as this warrants the trite 'people like you shouldn't conceive' statement.

    Have you tried the egg white method? Google it. It seems weird and gross but has been used with success. Unless you're also checking your vaginal pH. If you're on the low side, you could be killing off the sperm before they have the opportunity to make it to your egg. The egg white help make the environment less acidic.

    Actually, I think they are referring to the fact that not everyone who thinks having the opportunity to have kids is more rewarding than worries about jumping up and down should have kids. I would agree that lots of people think they want children (and aren't worried about jumping up and down, so I guess they meet that definition) and are completely unprepared for the realities of parenting.

    I'm not going to tell anyone to not have kids, but I kind of feel like it should be required that all parents go through some of the same education that people looking to foster or to adopt go through. Of course, it's easy for me to say as I don't want kids. Someone has to balance out the Duggers expansionism...

    OP- I'll try to answer the question you actually asked.
    - I will not give you advice nor tell you to talk to your doctor. I think you've made it clear you have to know that.

    When in the middle of a battle of TTC, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and just want to hear positive stories from people. I totally get that.

    You asked for anecdotal evidence. Not science. Here's a very brief synopsis of my own story, related to your question.
    It took me 6+ years to conceive and deliver my second child. Mostly I couldn't get pregnant, but I also dealt with several miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies.

    Every single pregnancy success was after starting an exercise routine. Every one. I have spent years on infertility forums and this, while definitely not science, is a common report.

    I urge you to post to those types of forums, where you will get more understanding and more responses to this particular question, as well as access to all kinds of other fertility information or other anecdotes.
    Best of luck. I know this isn't easy.

    I definitely don't think everyone should reproduce. I know there are people who are clueless, careless, disturbed, etc..and would not provide a desirable environment for a child.

    I also don't think it's my place to comment on such things.

    Masters in which subjects? I know quite a few questionable people with masters degrees. I'm not sure that's the best way to gauge parenting ability.

    Maybe I'm biased because I have a kid, a bachelor's, and no desire to ever go back to school for a master's. I was going to go to Hopkins for one but backed out. I do not want increased student loan debt.
