I'm a Delicate Flower

Don't run. Don't jump. Don't even breathe heavily! Why? Because you might, might, might be fertilized. In the days after an IUI, your little (possibly fertilized) egg is lolling around in your nether-regions, waiting to implant in the soft lining that will be its home for the next nine months. What if you were to bounce around at the most inopportune moment, just to spoil the chances of the egg finding its home? Just to be safe, you should not move very much during the first week or so of the TWW. Who says? The superstitious, self-conscious, neurotic infertile, that's who! No, there's no medical evidence that treating yourself like the crazy Renoir aficionado in Amelie (who wrapped himself in cloth because his bones were brittle) will be of any help at all. In fact, your RE even told you to "proceed as normal" a shallow 10 minutes after the actual procedure. But you don't believe your RE, do you? Heck no! Just in case, you're going to walk lightly, speak softly, and avoid any sudden movements. The last thing you'd want to do is ruin your slim chances of actually getting pregnant just because you wanted to show some 12-year-old how to properly complete the first phase of a triple jump. What? You already did that today? Oh, man. It's all over. Nice going. Maybe next time you'll treat yourself like the delicate flower that only you think you are.
