6 weeks and 2 days
So this is just an update for me really and anyone whos interested.
I am 6 weeks and 2 days which sounds better to me than 5 or 4 weeks, like im nearly properly pregnant!
I am feeling heavy now and clothes are all tight cant have helped that I was bigger than I should have been when I started the last cycle. I still spot a little every now and then but I am a bit more relaxed about it now. I do have days without cramps now too but still have the odd crampy day.
My scan is on the 28th of April which is 13 days away, I only have 2 more days at work and then I don't go back to work til after the scan, I decided to take the time off since due to public holidays here in NZ I only have to take 4 days leave to have 11 days off work!! So that should be nice, and hopefully make the days go quicker.
My DH is going away ona hunting trip on the 22nd and will be gone for 6 days so im off work and home alone, which im really looking forward to! It does mean however that he will miss our very first scan! Im a bit gutted about this but he says he's not worried, Im not annoyed because I know what he's like, I think he's still protecting himself from getting to attached before we can be sure! Anyway I invited his Mum to come with me instead, its an hour and a half drive away and I thought it would be nice to involve her since my own mum cant come (since she lives on the otherside of the world) I so hope everything is okay!! I will have to warn her that there is a chance they find no heartbeat so she can be prepped for me emotional self!! Could be an awkward car ride back........They are a very tough family who are not touchy feely so im not that comfortable at the idea of getting bad news with her around!!
In other news, being pregnant has kicked my arse a lot more than being infertile, don't get me wrong I am over the moon and extremely grateful! But all the things that they warn you about about IF I have found more of a problem now I am pregnant....the anxiety, staying positive, being on the same page as DH, our sex life has suffered since I am so paranoid about risking this pregnancy. We lasted through all the IF and now I am struggling with this..........how does that work?? Maybe the hormones are responsible??
I feel like I am in an egg and spoon race and I can not drop this egg, and DH keeps trying to jog me with his damn penis!!!! hahah He keeps telling me Im paranoid but its easy for him, he cant feel every twinge and see every brown spot in his undies!!

I\'m glad you\'ll have your MIL with you. Even if she\'s not the feelings type it\'s still a nice to share it with someone.
The first trimester is the hardest and yes hormones have a lot to do with it. That being said, I still don\'t want sex and I\'m more than half way there. This really isn\'t normal for me and is so different than my pregnancy with my son. I\'m surprised that they didn\'t put sex off the table with your spotting until your next scan. My re was so firm on this that even now I\'m still nervous.
Glad you have time off, it will help you get the rest you need.
The 28th will be here soon.
xo
Glad your MIL can go with you. Hearing the heartbeat will be an experience you\'ll never forget. I think it\'s normal for us that have struggled with IF to gave a hard time during pregnancy. Try to take care of yourself :)
Good luck at your scan! Don\'t worry about your anxiety and worries. I can imaninge they are heightened because of going through IF. One day at a time. So happy you are past 6 weeks!
Yay for your scan coming up!! I\'m so jealous that you have a big break from work soon! I would love just a few days off! I am so anxious and nervous and like you, check my undies every.single.time I go to the bathroom....I wonder if I will ever stop that?! :)
Haha, undie checking is obsessive alright!!
