Brief Answer:
Light exercise can be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Light exercise/ aerobics can be done while you are trying to conceive. However, heavy or strenuous exercise (associated with abdominal compression) are usually not recommended.

Do regular unprotected sex during your fertile days (11th to 19th day of cycle) to maximize your chance of pregnancy. You can use ovulation prediction kit in the middle of cycle to predict ovulation.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health. Good luck.

Regards,
Dr S Patra

Brief Answer:
Yes, you can do those exercise.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

Yes, you can do above exercises during this time. However, you should stop them soon after getting POSITIVE pregnancy test.

During pregnancy period, you can do regular meditation in the morning and walking for short distance.
