Ever too late for excersise?

[Prayingpink]

I have already had an attempt this month. I'm currently cd 22 and 6 dpo. When I stared this journey, I decided to go the couch potato route because I was intimidated by the excersise and wasn't confident I could keep at it. Well, I've been thinking about it and I now believe it'd be benifical to try it and I do think I have enough motivation now to do it. My problem is I've only been doing it for 4 days now. I started on cd 19 and 3 dpo. So if I don't get bfp this cycle, I'll be making an attempt next cycle with only 3.5-4 weeks of excersise under my belt. I plan to do 60 min a day and aim for 6 days a week so if something happens and I can't one day then I'll still be in the 4-6 days a week limits. I'm doing walk away the pounds 5 mile walk and when I get bored Zumba. At these good? And is just 3 weeks enough?

I know atomic recommends 8 weeks as I think this is getting the best results but I'm not sure if there's any "harm" per se in less, plus if you don't get a bfp next cycle then by the cycle after that you'll have been doing it plenty long. If I were you if just keep going with the cardio.

Thank you. As long as there's no harm in it I'm fine with it. I do hope to get bfp next month as I'd love a December baby. But if it doesn't help much and doesn't harm my sway in any way for next month I'll be ok. And if no bfp next cycle then it'll help :)

Those are good exercise programs for TTC pink.

The issue with starting exercise at the last minute so to speak is that there can be a temporary rise in T levels that will then go away over time as you get into overexercise zone. So if you only exercise a little while, the risk is that you boost T levels without giving it enough time to drop. But, we don't even KNOW that T levels are even swaying blue to begin with, or how long it would take to work itself out anyway. it may very well be the case that you don't get pg that month anyway and so any risk in that dept. may be meaningless.

Atomic, well, I think I'm gunna keep going. I'm taking saw palmetto as well so (af-o of course) and hopefully that'll help with the testosterone issue if there is one.

I asked this question in another thread but figured If ask any way. I've been drinking non fat vanilla coffee mate in the am but noticed most drink sugar free. Am I wrong to be drinking fat free? There's 25 cals per tablespoon.

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes now that I think about it I may have forgot that other q anyway. :p

Technically, anything containing cals is a no-no in the morning on LE. BUT that having been said, a tiny amount of calories may make your blood sugar rise for a short time and then drop as your body releases insulin to deal with it. Blood sugar ALWAYS rises in the morning anyway, no getting around that, and so while it's not strictly allowed, it is something that I think most people can get away with.

I always had sugar in my morning coffee. That was not something I was willing to go without, and I still got DD doing that.

:) thanks. Ya I'm not so sure I could give it up lol. I need it to suppress my appetite until lunch time at which I'm always so hungry :) I take that as a good sign and I hope I'm right :)
