The Two-Week Wait


All right, we have done all that we can do, and now we are just going to have to wait. On my "TTC" (trying to conceive) message boards, this is what is known as the 2ww, or the horrid two-week wait. It is so trying to have to wait for that long, because you're trying both to stay positive and not get your hopes up too high simultaneously. It seems more like two years than two weeks, and every single thing starts to get over-analyzed: "Hmm, I only ate half my usual breakfast. Does that mean I'm pregnant?" or "I didn't feel like wearing jeans. Is that a sign?" Yes, I'm being a little dramatic, but I do mean it when I say that during this time I will notice and make mental notes of every single twinge my body creates.
I will start the progesterone tomorrow night, and so far I only have a 10-day supply. I need to ask the doctor if that is enough, since I won't even be able to take a pregnancy test in ten days. I want these two weeks to rush by, but I'm also a little afraid of the result. We've been pregnant once for sure (and possibly twice) where we lost the baby, and I have had umpteen hopeful pregnancies that turned out to be nothing. I can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that this could really be it for us, and that the test may not only show positive, but that our baby will live. Please say lots of prayers for us in the next two weeks! Even though I know this may not work, and I know that we can try again and again, I will be so heartbroken if we don't get pregnant this month.
Progesterone: $15
