The TWW is the time from when a woman ovulated to when she can test to see if she is pregnant. This is usually about 14 days, i.e.: two weeks. Got it? Great :)
Now this TWW after the IUI had been done was probably THE worst one I've ever had! The hormones that I had been given affected me A LOT!
First off, the HCG trigger shot. This I knew would probably give me an idea of how I would be while pregnant. I had read that a lot of women got really bad morning sickness while others did not, and that the symptoms they experienced coincided with what they actually experienced while pregnant. Well I can tell you this much, I'm looking forward to getting pregnant because I didn't even feel nauseous! But it did make me EXTREMELY tired. Like, sleeping 12 hours at night and taking a 3-4 hour nap during the day. It also made my girls aka: boobs ;) extremely achy and sore.
On top of that I was also taking the progesterone. This made me VERY emotional! I mean I would cry at the drop of a dime for no reason at all! It was horrible! A pro to taking the progesterone was that my hair thickened up. It was so nice!
One horrible side effect that I'm not sure caused it was that I got rashes. They would show up, itch really bad for awhile, and then they'd be gone. Not fun!
I've come to the conclusion that when I am finally pregnant, I'm going to be an extremely tired, very emotional, rashy woman with fabulous hair! Lol!
I think that this specific TWW was the worst also because we knew that we had a higher chance of getting pregnant. At least a little higher than any other month up to that point. And we were hopeful that it would work out like we would like it to.
For any women out there suffering through the dreaded TWW, I feel ya! And there are many other women who know what you're going through as well!
Til next time!
