Might depend: I know of no studies that demonstrate a correlation. I personally know women who are marathoners, one, elite, who have had no problem getting pregnant. However if you stress your system by overtraining, sometimes halting the regularity of your period, you are at risk. The likely key is the stress, which can be from many sources. Running actually keeps you healthier, when properly moderated. Relax!

Moderation is key: Regular exercise is important for fertility, but it needs to be low-impact. The moderation is the key, if it's part of a healthy lifestyle.
