2ww

for the record, i hate when people use weird acronyms like "2ww" in blog / message board posts.  i can never understand what the hell they're trying to say!  for those of you who are challenged like me, "2ww" means "2 week wait".  and we're in the midst of our 2 week wait as we speak!

on monday july 11th, our second insemination, i had some pretty hardcore cramping.  if i am pregnant i'm pretty sure that it all started on the 11th rather than the 10th.  since then, i've been tired, moody, hungry, dehydrated, and occasionally crampy.  i'm also breaking out on my chest and back with these tiny little pimples, most of which you can't see but you can feel them.  thats probably tmi, but oh well!  so you might think, "oh she sounds pregnant".  but no, you can get these same symptoms from the ovidrel shot too.  so we're stuck waiting until the 25th to find out.

on the 14th, i went to get blood work done to check my progesterone level.  apparently my level was a 5 and they would like to see it more like an 8.  so now i have to take medicine for that too.  however, as i was reading about it i found that most people do take medication to raise their progesterone, so i was feeling better about it after hearing that.

at this point we just have to wait... which is almost worse than when we were busy getting all kinds of tests done!  i'm obviously busy with my class at ku, but when i'm there, all i can think about is taking a pregnancy test!  =P   so when i get home, i try to relax and stay stress free.  i do a little meditation and take a little nap and maybe do a little cleaning.  but i just want the "2ww" to end soon... with a positive!!

i'll be holding my breath until july 25th!!!!
