[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a success story on this but I have reverted to doing nothing strenuous.  I also found that exercise was a stress reliever, but I'm finding that same stress relief and more in my better diet, and the extra time and head space I have when I'm not trying to fit in exercise.

I try to walk a lot more, both in daily life and 2-3 walks in Rock Creek Park a week.  I was doing yoga but haven't even done that in a few weeks because my pass expired and I'm not motivated to do it at home.  Sometimes I'll stretch for a few minutes.

My acupuncturist is firm that overexertion takes away from your reproductive system when you're older and that part of your system is looking at shutting down anyway.

I am surprisingly ok mood-wise, not thrilled about "letting myself go" but I have an instinct that gaining weight will be a good thing for this process.

The women I knew who conceived easily/naturally at 40+ were quite overweight--not obese but plump.  So maybe there is something to the "fat and fertile" old wives' tale.[/quote]
