Now that we are pushing through with IUI, I want to learn more about the procedure. I saw a 3D animation on YouTube. We decided to have IUI in PGH where the cost is cheaper.
I hope to be prepared in all aspects when "The" day comes. We hope that we will be successful now.
Thank you for your prayers.
Sigh.
The two-week wait ended in a red flow. On the dot. I had very high hopes that the past cycle would be "THE CYCLE" when I would get pregnant. On my first cycle day, I proclaimed that I would conceive. I left my career in the city to prioritize starting our own family. My days were less stressful in the province. I sorta felt like pregnant in the past days.
Tears start to build around my eyes as I write this. Another frustration. I can't help but ask why not this time?
Sigh.
What is the two-week wait?
The two-week wait (2ww) is the time that makes TTC couples crazy. You wait and pray, hoping that by the end of two weeks, you will miss your period and there will be two lines in the pregnancy test. Hehe.
Hubby and I are now in this crazy time (actually, he has no idea about the 2ww). I haven't told him yet the date when I should have a pregnancy test. I don't want him to be excited waiting for that date and then bursting his excitement with the red day.
During the 2ww, I force myself to think about things other than conception. But, I fail all the time. I always count the calendar days even if I know it by heart!
To my TTC friends, how do you spend your 2ww?
Trying to conceive can be an exciting, stressful, and lonesome journey. Sometimes, I feel I'm alone dealing with infertility. Don't get me wrong. My Hubby is always there for me, encouraging me, and telling me to be positive but sometimes, I need some girl friend who experiences or had experienced what I'm experiencing right now.
I'm thankful for you readers, commenters, and those TTC women who spared time to write me. Knowing that there are other women out there who are also in this journey make it not so lonesome anymore. Mwah!
I've resigned from my company where I've been employed for six years. I was contemplating about a sabbatical for a few months and now, I finally went out of my comfort zone.
I'm lucky and very thankful that I have the choice to do so. Not all employees, especially those who are trying to get pregnant, have the choice or opportunity to leave the security of employment for a chance to create a family of their own.
Hubby and I are now staying in the province. We enjoy breathing the fresh and cool air and seeing more greens than gray. We now go to the grocery and wet market to buy healthy and nutritious food on a daily basis. Traffic jam is non existent (praise the Lord!) and stress levels are lessened.
Hopefully, God-willing, this change of environment will do us some good and help us in getting pregnant.
