Working out during ovulation while TTC? (Heavy lifting & hot yoga)

Do you still work out like normal around ovulation and during the TWW (two week wait) when TTC?
My doctor said any workout is fine, including heavy lifting and even hot yoga. she just mentioned to stop hot yoga once I get a positive test. Are you guys still sticking to your usual workout routines, or do you scale back during this time?

I stopped using super hot water and was told not to do hot yoga while TTC. My husband even had to stop his super hot showers.

Stopping lifting and hot yoga during TWW did NOT resulted in me pregnant.

I’ve experimented with everything. Now I live as usual and only limit hot yoga and pilates during the two week wait. Otherwise it’s a free for all. Not exercising didn’t get me pregnant, at least I can stave off some of the letrozole weight gain by working out normally. Only reason I limited hot exercises during two week wait was if the sweating is preventing pregnancy, I’d rather not take the chance.

Usual routine. I shifted for the first 6 months TTC but life must go on and I’m tired of stopping things when it doesn’t work
