Question

Cardio during Fertility Window?

My question: is it a bad idea to do cardio during your ttc/fertile window? My thought process tells me yes because of the increase in body temps. may kill sperm in the female's body. Makes sense right? Or would you say it is safe, and non-threatening to those trying to stay alive. Thoughts pls.

It wont change anything, look at it this way, athletes get pregnant...and if a little thing like cardio was a way to ensure u wouldnt get pregnant, every teen and barslut out there would be running their asses off for the days after sex. I think ur overthinking it all.

I would say it is fine. Do you normally do cardio? The only way I could see it being an issue is if you exercised to the point that it threw off your cycle from not having enough body fat.
