Affects of strenuous exercise – beware!
There is always much discussion about the affects of exercise while TTC (trying to conceive) – both on men and women. Doctors encourage their patients to exercise to remain healthy or to lose weight if necessary, but patients worry that they might overdo it while their body is trying to facilitate conception. This study was performed on men, but the results are pretty clear – strenuous exercise can have dramatic affects on hormone levels and semen quality. It wouldn’t be much of a leap of faith to conclude that the same affects might be present in women also.
So, a word to the wise – exercise, but don’t overdo while TTC.
