I already have a beautiful 21-month-old girl and we have been trying for our second baby. So far nothing has happened. Could my exercise regime be the cause? To shed baby weight after the last pregnancy I took up exercise. I use the treadmill and weight train more or less 5 times a week and love it as I feel really fit and healthy. Do I have to give up training to conceive?
Dear Fitness Expert,
I have recently increased my exercise regime, and have noticed that my periods -- previously very regular -- have become more irregular (and just at the time when I would like to be able to predict ovulation!) I didn't think I was exercising excessively, but now wonder if there may be a link.
Dear Fitness Expert,
I have been trying to get pregnant for a year without success. My doctor just told me that I have a low LH hormone level and said the cause was my frequent endurance training (cycling and running). He told me to reduce my regime quite a bit.
