Can you feel your embryo in the first trimester? Randomly and during workouts?
I'm 8 weeks with my first successful IVF FET.
I had my first US at 6w5d and I was measuring just right. The Dr had the wand towards my left side so I know my embryo is in that area.
At random times throughout the day/night I can feel what's a pokey/pulling sensation where the embryo is. At this point it's the size of a raspberry so it's definitely substantial, right? It's like a little velcro ball. Or a burr from a plant where if I move/stretch there's a sensation that it's attached to me but stretching.
I have to assume this is normal, but I can't find anything about this online. I see things like round ligament pain but I think I'm too early for that.
Maybe I'm just hyper aware of my body and I'm being extra cautious with any movement?
I have an US in 2 days so I'll bring it up with the Dr, but I'm curious if anyone had similar sensations?
I'm taking it easy with workouts and just doing walking and some stretching/yoga and some of the pelvic stretches I was doing I could feel it pulling and I stopped the workout for fear that I would go too hard. But is that even possible this early??
