Ditto what @snowjewelz: said!

I was told that I could exercise as normal. In the four weeks before my BFP, I had started a new exercise routine and was attending Barre classes three times a week while running three times a week.

I was told to continue as much as I felt like doing. At 7 dpo I knew I was pregnant because I suddenly couldn't do my normal workout without being overtired and dizzy. I got a bfp at 8 dpo and the icky feeling lasted until just a little while ago (I'm 16 weeks now). But some people feel great the whole time so the key is just to listen to your body!

I would do whatever you normally do, especially since you're not pregnant yet. Your workouts aren't going to have any effect on TTC or implantation.

And BTW my OB also said the 140 bpm is outdated. I probably couldn't do anything other than walk if that were the case...

I worked out throughout my pregnancy, I just didn't push myself to hard or in the heat. But out of curiosity I measured my bpm while working out and found I felt pretty comfortable working out around 150-160 bpm while pregnant.

This is such a timely question. I just started a fitness program after not really working out for awhile. We are also going to start TTC very shortly. I know that they say you can continue on working out like you normally do but I wasn't really sure what constitutes "normal" if you just started up. Hopefully if/when we get that BFP soon, I can continue with my program and just listen to my body.

I'm sure you're fine. At 4w6d, I did my annual military fitness test, which is designed to assess your overall level of fitness. Not sure how high my hb went, but expect it was pretty high. Most of the 4 activity tests are 1-3 mins, but quite high intensity, with a mandatory 5 min break in between. I could probably have gotten out of it for this year, but wasn't ready to tell my bosses I was pregnant yet.

I'm now 11w6d and baby is doing great! My doc encourages me to work out, with the same activities I was doing before, just at a reduced intensity and/or duration.

One of my friends played competitive tennis until she was 7.5 months pregnant (at that point, the exercise started causing contractions and she had to stop). I think you'd be find to keep doing your normal workouts during your 2ww.
