The Two Week Wait

1. We are not pregnant. I haven't gotten my period, but it is DPO 12 and nothing on the test. There should at least be a faint line by now. We are using the FRER (First Response Early Response test).

2. I think there are two very hard parts of this entire process. First is waiting for ovualtion -- where you have to pee on a ton of sticks all the time. Second is the last few days of the TWW - where you are hopeful and then crushed - then hopeful - then crushed, etc., etc., etc....

3. I know that this child (when ever he or she arrives) will be blessed and know that they were wanted, worked for, and loved from the first thought of them. And, I have a blog to prove it. ;)

Now, I have a rant. I believe this TWW is a form of torture that should be resolved. Why is it that...

It takes:
2 days to get to the moon
2-6 hours to take a living heart out of one person and place it into another
40 hours to fly around the entire world

AND -

Someone took the time to figure out that we have about 25,000 genes.
Some took the time to create about 64 million websites.

And YET - no one on the entire planet of 6 billion people can figure out how to know if a woman is pregnant or not in less that two weeks. (okay with a really sensitive test and really early implantation - maybe a little over a week...but, come on!) GIVE ME A BREAK!

There - that is my rant. I had to put it here because M is sick and tired of hearing me give her the same lecture everytime we go through the TWW.

Thanks for all the well wishes. August is going to be our lucky month. It was the original start date that we moved up. We are going to the doctors on Wednesday and looking forward to a new plan.

What a miserable bust of a month in the baby-making blogosphere. So sorry that you too have joined the ranks of BFFNs. August can't possibly be so dismal.

SERIOUSLY! You know that commercial that says in a dreamy voice, "Imagine knowing you're pregnant the moment that it happens...science is getting closer" or something like that? What a teaser! The TWW soooo sucks. i'm only at 7dpo, and am itchin' to do a test.
i DO hope August is your month!!

The whole process is just one of the wonders of the world. Yes E you will be with a little blessing soon. Remember you only want to be in your rightful place and then let patience do her perfect work. Love N

So sorry July wasn't your month. I do hope that August is it for you!

What a perspective. You are so right! The TWW is ridiculous, there should be a test that you can take 2 days after an IUI. How great would that be?!?!
