Hi, I want to have your recommendations on good exercise for fertility. I run regularly twice a week to stay fit, but I feel this running routine during implantation timing seems to be harming the success.
My husband and I tried IVF last year and we could get two healthy embryos to transfer, but it didn't work in the end. Besides that, whenever we had intercourses at my fertile timing, I can sense my body changes around the time of fertilization to implantation, then when I ran (I usually do a little rigorously), I felt things around my uterus changed (became lighter) after run, then implantation never happened successfully.
Because of my age (over 40), I think staying fit should be quite important to improve the chance of pregnancy and I didn't see direct causal relationship between running and failure, thus I didn't stop running. But now I started thinking running maybe working quite adversely at the timing of implantation and onwards, thus I would like to explore other types of exercises that will good for both staying fit and fertility.
Let me know what type of exercise is recommended, and if you know any recommended place for teacher/classes of those. I also started researching for pilates, so I also want to hear if anyone tried pilates that gave you good result.
