Trying to Conceive / Round 1

When you combine your sadness and disappointment to that of your spouse, it doesn't add, it multiplies.

With three days to go before our official pregnancy test, I'm stuck feeling like it won't come out the way we want it. When faced with the reality that we might have to start over, how do I cope with feelings of failure and being betrayed by my body?

The absolute worst part about trying to get pregnant is the dreaded Two Week Wait between when you ovulate and when you should get your period. You can technically take a pregnancy test about 10 days after ovulation, but it only becomes dependable the day of your missed period.

But you're still waiting to find out. Especially if you've gone through a fertility treatment (like I just did), and you need to do something to kill the time and not think about whether you're pregnant or not. Here are 100 things to take your mind off the time.

It's finally time for our first (and hopefully only IUI). 

Our procedure was complicated, but it went off without a hitch. Now all we have to do is wait!

I have to say that I'm experiencing a lot of emotions I haven't for a while.

I've looked forward to getting my period for the first time in two years.

I feel hopeful for the first time in over a year.

I'm nervous and excited and scared and worried and anticipative.
