It's all mental- or is it?
I'm in the midst of the two week wait. I'll get a blood pregnancy test on the 15th, and it's hard not to think about it. I was very excited when the two week wait started, but now I'm gloomy and slightly depressed. I'm having all of my period symptoms.
I know that most period symptoms can also be pregnancy symptoms, and that's true for many of my symptoms, but not all. I get a few zits, I feel bloated with little cramps in my stomach, and then the tell tale sign is.. umm... let's say "digestive problems."
Yesterday morning I woke up to my digestive problems, and I knew deep down that I'm not pregnant. Then today the problem was still there, reinforcing my belief. I know it's too early to tell, but I would actually bet a lot of money on the fact that I'm not pregnant. I've been sick in the past, and when doctors told me I was fine, I knew there was something wrong- and one visit with a specialist confirmed my beliefs. I'm just in tune with my body- I know what's going on before the doctors do.
Since I know I'm not pregnant, I'm in a weird state- I'm heartbroken but still hopeful. I went to an amusement park yesterday with my husband and niece, and I stayed off all of the roller coasters. I'm still not eating the things I shouldn't be eating. I still take the reminding-you-that-you're-still-not-pregnant prenatal vitamins which I have been taking for two years. All of this with the hope, prayers, and wishful thinking that maybe the universe is playing a trick and I'll end up being pregnant. It's a glimmer of hope, but it grows dimmer by the day.
I wish I didn't have to work today, but I do- and actually that's probably a good thing, something to keep my mind off of this situation. Now, how am I going to do this for the next 8 days?
