Running: causing irregularity/fertility problems?

[chitownbelle]

Thanks again for all of your responses. Glad to know I am not alone in this and lots of people have experienced similar problems. I think I am just going to enjoy my month--- San Fran tomorrow for a 4 days weekend to celebrate our 5 yr anniversary, I turn 30 in 2 weeks, and 2 weeks later is my brothers wedding...I get 3 weeks off of work and can relax, enjoy, and be on a day time schedule...and of course my mileage ups like crazy this month...and hopefully I'll find time to study and take my PNP boards before my Dr. appt. in Sept and then start with a fresh slate.

(we put off scheduling our African Safari for Oct/Nov b/c we thought I may be pregnant by then...grrr, part of me just wants to book the damn thing and go!)

I'll order TCOMF next week

I think each body is unique, so I don't know that there is a one-size-fits-all answer. However, for me, stress and strenuous exercise impacted ovulation. I never had an anovulatory cycle until I was actively TTC (temping, charting, blah blah blah). I also ran a half marathon the day before I expected to ovulate and again experienced an anovulatory cycle. But the cycle immediately following was the one I got pregnant with L
