Hello ladies, I am not a regular so I hope you will still help me out on my question 
.
My husband and I are TTC with our 2nd child. My ovulation window was between 12/24 and 12/29 (last week). Yesterday I started my period! I am about 8 days early. Because I am usually very regular (30-31 day cycle) I was worried and called my OBGYN and spoke with one of the nurses. She asked about any major changes physically or mentally recently and I explained that I tore the ligaments in my ankle in August and was in a cast until December 7th. During that time, I was unable to do aeorbic exercise. However, the last 2 weeks of December I started doing Cathe's Body Blast Kick Punch and Crunch and Boot Camp every day and explained that these were 50 minutes to an hr work out. She said that I had shocked my system and this caused my menstrual cycle to go berserk.
She then went on to explain that avid female runners and olympic athletes often don't have periods or ovulate. Have you all heard of this? She told me to not do cardio workouts for more than 1/2 an hour and no more than 3x per week while ttc. I am kinda bummed about this bc I have really missed my Cathe cardio workouts for the last few mos in the cast. Does this mean that I can't do more than 30 minutes 3x per week once I am pg?
Any advice or sharing of similiar experiences would be very helpful.
Thanks so much in advance for your feedback or thoughts.
