If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Test, Don't Test Anything At All

Oh boy, I'm at 13DPO. My cycle usually begins after about 30 days, and that would be tomorrow. So, do I test? Or should I wait a few days just in case? I called my RE's office today to talk about getting a refill of Crinone, and I spoke to my favorite nurse, who reassured me that even though I'm not feeling any symptoms, I still could very well be pregnant. She said (much like a few of you) that symptoms appear for different women at different times. As long as I don't start my cycle, things could still be positive. Well, unless I take a test, that is…

…so I bought a HPT, and I'll do it tomorrow morning. I've been trying to "let myself down easy" over the last few days, taking my BBT and telling myself that it's not high enough for me to be pregnant. But I guess you never know, maybe tomorrow it will shoot upward and I'll throw up my Cheerios, then take a test and see two pink lines. I just don't want to see that depressing single line taunting me from the edge of the sink tomorrow. If I don't test, I don't have to see it…it's the "Catch 22" of the 2WW. Super fun. I'm sure Joseph Heller never knew what this felt like.

I Feel Like I'm Holding My Breath...

…which makes it very hard to blog. There's something about the 2WW that renders me speechless. It's as though there is nothing to say - I am simply waiting. Today is 2DPO/IUI and I am hanging on everyone's words of wisdom. Some people felt sick at 3DPO, others never did. Some got a positive result after 6DPO, some took almost 10. I'll just wait. And wait, and wait, and wait… in the meantime, I'll look up some videos on YouTube.
