My husband and I are trying to conceive, and I usually go for a jog daily to stay active. Is it safe to continue jogging while we are trying for a baby?
I was jogging regularly until I got my positive test! My doctor said as long as I wasn't overexerting, it was totally fine. Just listen to your body and slow down if you feel tired.
Since I had PCOS, my doctor advised keeping exercise moderate so it doesn't mess with my hormone levels. Light jogging is fine, but if you have irregular periods, maybe stick to yoga or walking to be safer.
See, there's no need to overcomplicate things with heavy gym routines. If you like jogging, do it lightly, or just shift to a nice brisk walk in the park. It keeps you active without putting too much stress on the body.
I kept up with light jogging while trying because it was my stress buster from work. Just don't push yourself to exhaustion. Keep it moderate so your ovulation cycle doesn't get disturbed by extreme physical stress.
It's safe if your body is used to it, but don't start any heavy training now. Save that extra energy and money for the upcoming pre-conception checkups and tests, which can add up quickly. A simple brisk walk is best and free!
