Thanks for the feedback, Gabrielle. I really appreciate it!

Yep I totally agree, I would not want to continue to practice while TTC and if while in class I’m getting a sense of alarm or feeling uneasy. A month or so into my Bikram practice, I feel great, less stressed and am not struggling to get through the 90 minutes of class. I definitely feel fantastic and more revitalized and wish to continue. So, the only reason I can think of to not continue, is due to paranoia that while I’m in the room I might be potentially killing the sperm because of the heat.. thus reducing the chances to conceive. I’m not 100% sure how hot the body temperature would need to get to ‘kill’ sperm, but I just want to make sure that I am not “taking two steps back” and prolonging conception because of my Bikram practice. Also, I wonder if perhaps I should not attend class during the time I’m ovulating, if that would make any difference?

The studio I go to is 95-105 degrees and about 60% humidity. I plan on going only 2-3 times a week, so hopefully that would not be enough to make a difference conception-wise. I do find comfort that you, as well as others woman have conceived while practicing Bikram/hot yoga and hope that I can do the same.

Thanks again!
