If you look at the recommendations made by the Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology, there would be no modification needed for a woman TRYING to get pregnant. Obviously, once they are pregnant you would want to modify their work out so they do not over heat, become dehydrated or hypoxic, where the baby is not receiving enough oxygen.
However, some women who are undergoing fertility treatments are recommended by their doctors to decrease their intensity level. There is some inconclusive data that suggests that too high of an intensity level can adversely effect the hormone levels of the various medications used to treat infertility. So different infertility doctors make different recommendations in regards toward exercise in general and then intensity of exercise for their patients undergoing fertility treatments.
I hope that helps some to answer your question. When in doubt regarding women who are pregnant or those trying to get pregnant, ask their doctor (get a signed medical release) and consult the Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

I would also wonder if her "sperm donor" is highly athletic and whether that might have an effect on his sperm count.

Hello Ryan,
I located this link and found it interesting. Maybe it might put you in the direction you are seeking.

On another note, do you think that the "sperm donor" might be highly conditioned and this might further decrease the likelihood of conception? Let's not put it all on the fit chick. It takes two to make a baby.

Hello Ryan,
High intensity exercise may or may not be a factor in fertility, this would, as recommended above, be checked out with her gyno. Low bodyfat may also play a role in fertility. High testosterone, envolved in strength training, may have impact on getting pregnant. Again this is something a smart gyno would know.

Amenorrhea is a factor with low body fat levels which would affect the ability to get pregnant, but even a highly conditioned woman can have healthy body fat levels that would prevent this.
What is your definition of a highly conditioned woman?
