Lise - Thanks for the movie review. I expect it to be a little OTT so sounds like it will be quite fun.
Juniper - I have walked at lunch time the past couple of days, and it seems to help me get that little bit further through the day without crashing. Although being winter, I anticipate this being a short term option
I agree that its really hard to let go of the things we believe are holding our bubs in place... But if your body has responded this far so well it can do this on its own. And they are always there to go back on if things get rocky. Hang in there apple seed!!
Leabie - Great news that things have picked up and you have a little more confidence. Glad you are comfy with your OB too. I'm sorry about the GTT - I've only heard horrible things about having those so
Brunette - I think of it like the transvaginal ultrasound is more gentle, it's not like something beating on the cervix which could maybe open it up and risk the bub. No expert but that would be my worry more than anything. And if they're already concerned, who needs to add more worry. I would be so cross if I were you honestly, if my DH was so disrespectful he would get a very serious conversation!! Sorry, serious soapbox. It takes us so long to get here, how can they not get that!
My cycle was a natural FET, the only thing I took was Letrozole. But I was also seeing a Natural Fertility Management Naturopath for about 4 mths before this cycle which I fully believed enabled this pregnancy. My FS came to the party and understood my body does not take well to being seriously messed about. I think this is also why I have been feeling so well thus far. My body was as well supported as it could be for this cycle. I was so lucky Wendy came back to my town to work!
I'm struggling to sleep too, so tired, but I seem to only sleep in short blocks through the night. Not very helpful but I guess the brain has so much to process it's hard to stop.
Scan is now 3 sleeps away - 5.30pm Monday, which means it will be way later than that but DH will be nervously holding my hand which makes me feel better. I have anxious dreams which are making it hard to relax and stay calm. DH has caught the cold, only his is a bit more cough like which seems to be worse. Poor fella has been working so hard and still is trying to take care of me when he needs to be taken care of. Don't think he quite understands me in bed at 8.30pm though, but he'll just go with it thankfully.
As for working less... I've found the lunch time walk helps, and while I am not falling asleep at the desk, I will see how far along I can get. My boss is fantastic, and if I need to reduce she won't even blink which is sensational. I just know how much we need to get done so am going to try and get through for as long as possible.
