The same thing happened to me last month - apart from the running bit hehe! I had so many symptoms and really sore boobs that I never usually get. I swore I would def get a BFP but then AF came and ruined everything :sad: </p> <p>Thanks for posting this though because I've always wondered about this myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020400 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 14:07:52 +0000 tejbee 1020400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, I probably wasn't lucky enough for it to stick this time either. My boobs were SO swollen and sore, though--I hadn't been experiencing any AF symptoms like that in a long while so I was hoping it was a promising sign this time... *sigh* back to square one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020298 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:49:58 +0000 ShootingStar 1020298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry, but it just sounds like you weren't pregnant. If AF wasn't due for another 3 days, then I'm guessing you were 11DPO? Unfortunately AF symptoms can seem exactly like PG symptoms due to changing hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020283 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:47:02 +0000 tejbee 1020283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really appreciate all the responses, ladies! I'm going to guess that it just didn't stick this time like we were hoping. It was definitely shy of 30 minutes in the machinery space each time I ran. Your mind goes crazy thinking of everything when you're trying to get pregnant ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020273 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:44:28 +0000 Maysprout 1020273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss. I don't think running even in heat will have much effect though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020244 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:35:45 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1020244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tejbee: well, first of all: how long were you in there? We're talking, you'd need to be down there AWHILE before it would harm you. And we're talking like, really warm. Hotube type warm...<br /> Also: it is more than likely to cause 2 things: some of sort of birth defect (God forbid!) or pre-term labor if you were further along. The preterm labor would stem from the dehydration that can come from overheating more so than the overheating.<br /> I think, it was too early to harm anything and it was not enough of a workout to harm anything.<br /> My guess is either: you are still in the game<br /> or you MC'd for another unrelated reason<br /> or you were not pregnant this month anyways but may have been experiencing irritated cervix due to BDing more this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020236 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:34:00 +0000 pui 1020236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is no way to know if you were actually pregnant... it could be possible you just are having a shorter cycle. The shorter cycle could be caused by your getting back in to running, as changes in exercise are a very common cause of an early or late period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020229 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:32:45 +0000 Freckles 1020229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During TWW, i did spin, ran minimum 30k/week, and yoga 6-7x a week. It was during the summer.</p> <p>The only time i stopped running was when it reached 30 degrees (celsius). I get hot pretty quickly, but i was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020218 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:30:43 +0000 tejbee 1020218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: " as long as your body core temp doesn't rise too much."</p> <p>...uh-oh. Our treadmill at work is in a machinery space. It's pretty hot in there already... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020166 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:22:28 +0000 tejbee 1020166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about running in a heated environment? Could overheating be a problem you think? Our treadmill isn't exactly in the coolest location...there's machinery that keeps the space hot already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020143 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:19:35 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1020143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sorry that this is happening! I hope it is not a miscarriage.<br /> I always have ovulation and implantation spotting. I spot A LOT. Never enough for a tampon, but enough to scare me *every* time. I hope it is just that and not anything bad. </p> <p>NO-Running will not *cause* a miscarriage. But, do you run regularly? If not, that could cause strain to the cervix if you just never ran and busted out and ran 5 miles.<br /> But you didn't.<br /> If implantation has not even occurred, then running def couldn't have hurt you.<br /> I will say this much though, maybe it was a progesterone issues, which can get worse with physical activity. Not enough progesterone can can failure to implant.<br /> I ran from before O day to 9w (I only stopped because I had morning sickness) and started up again at 35 weeks. It never hurt me and exercise is encouraged during pregnancy as long as your body core temp doesn't rise too much.</p> <p>How far past ovulation are you? Could have been implantation, if in fact you were going to get pregnant this cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020122 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:16:58 +0000 Dandelion 1020122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, running doesn't cause a miscarriage...I'm so sorry you were disappointed this cycle...hopefully next month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020110 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:15:14 +0000 tejbee 1020110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the reply. I know it's not very far to run, but like I said, it's been years. ;)</p> <p>And I really really thought I was going to get a BFP this time! Just so sad. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020101 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:13:13 +0000 avivoca 1020101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. I ran during my TWW, and ran six miles the day before I got my BFP. I don't think running would prevent a pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1020069 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:09:34 +0000 mlm2934 1020069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those aren't extreme distances even though you hadn't been running regularly so I really doubt it was related. If your cervix was sensitive (maybe from BD'ing), exercise could cause spotting, but that still shouldn't have been enough to prevent a pregnancy. Sorry lady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/running-during-tww-cause-miscarriage#post-1019991 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:00:28 +0000 tejbee 1019991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could have sworn it stuck this time. </p> <p>My boobs really swelled up and were incredibly more sore than they've been before. I had spotting and fatigue.</p> <p>I also hadn't gone running in years and had plans to get back on the treadmill. I ran a mile one day, 1.5 the next, and two miles a couple days later. </p> <p>After the two mile run I stripped down to take a shower and saw red mixed with my running sweat on my underwear. I hoped it was just implantation bleeding. After my shower I put in a super tampon and soaked it in less than six hours. Soaked through another super in the next six hours. Looks like a period to me, damn. I wasn't expecting my period for another three days. </p> <p>Could my running have jeopardized getting a sticky baby this time? I swear I thought I was pregnant and I was just going to wait a few more days before testing...</p> <p>Damn damn damn. </p>
