Two Weeks of Hell

Good day everyone.  Today I find myself in the midst of yet another 2WW. For those of you following me that are not TTC (trying to conceive), the 2WW is simply the Two Week Wait. This is the two week period of time between ovulation and the time your period arrives (or doesn’t arrive, with any luck). It’s an awful wait and probably the time of each month when time goes by the slowest. You wonder if this month it finally happened. You analyze every teeny tiny symptom. Is that a cramp? Could it be implantation cramping? Was that a tiny spot of blood when I wiped? Could that be implantation bleeding? My boobs are so sore. Could I be pregnant? The shitty thing is that very early pregnancy symptoms are exactly like the symptoms of PMS. So, you can see how month after month of praying, hoping and symptom spotting can turn you into a crazy person. Add in the prescription progesterone I have to take every month during the 2WW and I am a bomb ready to explode. Go ahead...look at me funny. Cut me off on the road. Chew with your mouth open......go ahead. I dare you. That is me in a nutshell. A hormonal mess. A complete lunatic. It’s a wonder I haven’t hurt anyone yet. Oh well. This is just the way it is and I have to cope with it. The hope that one of these 2WW’s will end with a nice positive pregnancy test is enough to keep me going. Until then, a word of advice. If you see me on the road, just do yourself a favour and think of me as a school bus...keep back 100 feet. Believe me, it’s for your own good.
