Does Travelling On Bumpy Roads Affect Ovulation?

Posted on Tue, 4 Jun 2013

Question: Will travelling in car on highway at slightly bumpy roads affect the chance of pregnancy while ovulating and during trying to conceive

Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing to us.
In my opinion travelling in car on highway in slightly bumpy roads directly not affecting the ovulation and the chances of pregnancy but yes stress during that time may affect your ovulation and chances of pregnancy.
Stress affects your hypothalamus which further affect the anterior pituitary gland and which affects ovary to release ova which further affect your ovulation and conception.
So if it's not necessarily important better avoid the situation and relax.
Hope I have answered your query If you have further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards
Dr.Richa

Hi,
Sorry I am late in responding.
Yes, you can jog or walk while ovulating and trying to conceive.
You should never do aggressive exercise and gym, but yes, you can do yoga and walk (not brisk walk).
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
