The Dreaded Waiting Game.....

I have read soooo much lately about the two week wait and Greg and I have not yet made it to that dreaded "two week wait". However over the last 5 years we have already done a lot of WAITING that I'm sure other infertiles can relate too.

First comes the wait for ovulation, then the wait for the menstrual cycle or lack of menstrual cycle so you can take that pregnancy test (although we all know you have taken one everyday for the last week). This cycle of Waits continues for a while until your doctor says its time to see a specialist.

Then comes the Wait for the Specialist Appointment....We actually got Greg's appointment pretty fast with only a one month wait for that ~ my appointment on the other hand was made 6 months out and calling every few days allowed me to move that up 3 months when a random appointment opened up.

Then there is the Wait for the Medications To Work and Test Results to come back.....Rounds of Clomid, with Ultrasounds & Blood tests....This is the time period I wanted to burn that calendar on the wall that tracks every detail of our reproductive life, the days were SOOO long. For the last few months it has been Greg's turn with the medications which has been "take this for a month and lets retest you"...we are at week two of Greg's Novarel & Repronex shots and the anxiety to know if it worked (or failed) is killing me!!!!!!!!!!! I want to send him to the doctor today to see if it is working......

Lastly there is to wait to see if we ever get to make it to the "two week wait", the wait to see if this is where our journey to have our own biological children ends and where the waiting game of adoption begins.....I must say I will gladly take the two week wait. But whatever happens I try to stay positive that whatever happens will be well worth the wait!
