I hate the feeling...

lhcooperlhcooper member
in TTC after 35

that by now (36 hours since IUI, and over 12 hours since I O'd this morning) either a sperm has managed to meet an egg or it hasn't, but it will take 2 weeks to know.  This used to feel exciting.  Now it just kind of sucks.  And compared to some (or a lot of) people, I haven't even been at this all that long.  I don't know how much longer/how many times I can stand it.  I'm already on to "if this works, the baby is going to be an only child or have a sibling only by accident."

Sorry.  Just venting.

    Please, vent away.  The waiting does suck.  It often seems like all you do is wait. *sigh*   My fingers are crossed for you, and big hugs coming your way.

    Totally agree! I feel like I live my life in two-week-ish spams right now. And the 2ww is definitely harder!

    Feel free to vent as much as you need to.  That's why we're here.  The waiting does absolutely suck. 

    Fingers and toes are crossed for this being a BFP.

    I'm right there with you! And I'm currently taking progesterone suppositories that make me nauseous, bloated, crampy and moody, making my 2ww feel even longer and more torturous. It does really make me sad that TTC has become such a difficult thing rather than a joyous occasion. Hang in there and take care of yourself during this difficult time! You are not alone.
