TWW

TWW = Two Week Wait! for anyone who has not been lucky enough to conceive in the first few months they will know how horrible the two week wait can be :(

It's the time between ovulation and finding out if you are pregnant or not.

I had another appointment with our fertility specialist and she did a scan that showed I have a mature follicle (the sac that contains the egg) that is ready to ovulate. So she gave me a trigger injection that should start ovulation.
So we now have a very small window in which we can fall pregnant and than a very long two week wait to see if we are successful or not.

For me the two week wait is absolutely horrible, it's a time where everything seems like a possible pregnancy symptom.
Am I feeling more nauseous than normal? are my boobs sore? am I bloated? Is my skin or hair different? am I more tired than usual? am I going to the toilet more?
there are so many pregnancy symptoms that can lead you to get your hopes up, and me being the optimist I am, always convince myself that it is an early pregnancy sign.
I know I am setting myself up for heartbreak and disappointment but I just can't seem to help it, what my heart feels and what my head is telling me are two completely different things.

I think this will be the hardest two week wait I've gone through because I know I have ovulated and I know we have...hmmm how do I put it, ceased the opportunity ;) so I know that there really is a good chance this cycle.

I am sure this will be the longest two weeks of my life! I don't know what I am going to do to stop thinking about it, I will have to find things to keep me busy and distracted...although I am sure it is all I am going to think about until we do a pregnancy test at the end of the two weeks.


Who knew two weeks could seem so long?
