Remind me that fatigue is normal

I'm in between the egg retrieval and embryo transfer stages of IVF, and by 5:00 p.m. every day I want to go to bed, or at least take a long nap. Remind me please that these are the hormones at work, and I'm not just being lazy. I just need a reminder. Thank you!

Hey, the fact you can get up and around is great! I was on my back in between ER and ET. Good luck KaybeyBaby! It is good to see you back on this forum!

I'm in the same stage and feeling the same tiredness. It's now 2:30pm, I came to work at 11am and I'd like to lie down :) You're not lazy, you're full of hormones plus you've been sedated and had a minor surgery (ER).

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
