My TWW (two week wait) is actually 15 days, not including the day of the IUI. I've read online that the trigger shot injection can actually cause false positives in pregnancy testing. It's my understanding that the same hormone that is in the injection is the same hormone that rises to give a positive test result.
I think I'll blog every day for the next two weeks. I know it's only day 2, but I'm not feeling anxious at all. Quite the opposite, really. I think I'm more afraid of testing than I am excited and anxious for it. I googled the two week wait earlier today, just to see what other people do, and it's all about distracting yourself from thinking about testing, things to keep you busy etc. Maybe it's because I'm not close to the two week mark yet but I feel great so far and haven't thought about testing at all.
I'd also like to add that if you catch me getting all baby crazy and only talking about babies, getting pregnant or things of the like--keep me in check. Same goes for when we actually have children. I DO NOT want to be that mom that only lives, breathes (and eats? I guess that one doesn't work...) my children. I mean, I say that now.. and of course I have no idea what it feels like to be a mother, and again your children should be a huge part of your life but I don't think they should define you or your relationships with people. I do have an idea what it feels like to be on the other end talking with friends that have had their first child and that's all they talk about. You find that someone you used to have so much in common with before children, all of the sudden you seem to have zero in common with them. I can't stand it when people don't take into consideration the fact that you don't have children when you talk to them. My best friend and her husband are in the military and since everyone seems to have two children by 23, she finds that she has less and less in common with her fellow military wives. And the ones she used to associate with before pregnancy, seem to all of the sudden not remember what they liked to do or talk about before children.
So keep me in line!
