I'm being ridiculous
I know I'm being ridiculous, so feel free to tell me so.
This morning I went in for my progesterone check, and as I was driving out of the parking lot, I saw an older woman (~60-70 years old) walking through the lot. As I passed her, I realized she was bleeding from her forehead / eyebrow. So, I turned around and pulled over to offer her assistance. She was out for a walk before her doctor appointment and tripped and hit her head. She was bleeding quite a bit. I offered to take her to my doctor's office so she could get bandaged and to sit down. As I said that, she wobbled as though she was dizzy. I decided instead to run to a closer office to see if it was open so she would have less to walk even though it appear closed. I ran about 20 steps before I realized that I shouldn't be running at all (ET was on Tuesday).
It ended up being closed, so I walked her to my doctor's office, and they took care of her. I totally reacted without thinking, and as ridiculous as this sounds, I'm worried that I jostled the embryos right before they were able to implant. Ridiculous... I know.
I did manage to make her laugh, though. While we were walking, I lectured her about how exercising and walking are clearly bad and dangerous for one's health. Then, a couple of steps later she asked me where the office was (there were bushes, so the entrance was around the corner and kind of hidden), so I told her that they were around the corner and that we'd be there soon where they would either fix up her head or help her to get pregnant. I got a laugh out of both of those.
Update: As I was wrapping up this post, my nurse just called me with my results, and my P4 is 38. Wahoo! She told me that the woman is doing fine; they patched her up and wheeled her to her doctor's office. They thought she needed stitches for her head, but she didn't want to get them. Her blood pressure and vision were fine. I told the nurse about my ridiculous worry, and she said that the jumping/bouncing is more out of concern for my ovaries that are still enlarged and that the embryos are fine.

Re: I'm being ridiculous
Ha, ha! That is pretty funny!
And I am sure your embies are snuggled in fine.
I wouldn't worry about it cutie, they are snuggled in tight
I was worried I crapped mine out from awful IBS episode on Sat night, the 2ww takes away our ability to be reasonable human beings.

Yes, it definitely does! In the past when I have not been in the middle of the 2www crazies, I would have definitely given the side-eye to a post like this so I totally understand everyone that is giving me the side-eye right now. Most of all, I am amused at how ridiculous I'm being.

Aww that was a very good deed you did, and for that I don?t think you embies got dislodged. They have such a caring mom and I know they wouldn?t let go!
But I would totally be thinking the same. Glad the nurse help to reassure you. Congrats on the P4 number! Snuggle in tight embies!!!

She was actually, I just gave her a quick call to make sure you were OK from your little good samaritan run. :-)
I'm not sure there is a way to not completely obsess during the 2WW. It's torture. I'm hoping to hear great news from you and some of my other favorite WAY overdue ladies very soon. (Do you hear that Wormy?)
Thank you IVF for our little miracles!!
~Life After Infertility~
What a nice thing for you to do for that lady! And I think it's impossible to not worry (at least for me). Just keep reminding yourself of what the nurse said -- your embies are just fine
((Hugs)). I haven't endured the 2ww after IVF yet, but I'm sure I will be nuts.
Glad everything is okay and I hope those embabies are snuggling in!
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
I think that was very sweet of you!
I hope karma smiles! I would say that bit of exertion to help that woman didn't hurt your chances!
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
