Mid Shaft Humerus Fracture

Hello-I fractured my left humerus 3.5 weeks ago. At the site of the break there is also a 2 inch crack that goes upwards towards the shoulder. I have a splint/sling, and though my pain is less and I seem to have a tiny bit more movement each day, my ortho says my x-ray a few days ago hasn't really changed from two weeks ago. Could this be because I am pregnant and the baby is taking calcium or does this bone just take forever to heal? Also, my arm makes a horrible click or pop which is painful if I lean to maybe pick something up or shrug my shoulders. Is this a bad thing to allow?
