The waiting game

So the shots have worked - to make me ovulate. Now it's a waiting game. To those that are TTC (trying to conceive), they know it as the two week wait. This is that time after ovulating but before being able to see that wonderful positive on the pregnancy test. It is a VERY long 14 days.

The doctor believes that we have a good chance of being pregnant this time. Not only did it work the first time with Cooper, but this time we have five eggs releasing! That's a whole lot considering that "normal" women release only one egg per month. A "normal" woman has a 25% chance of conceiving each month...so if I have five 25% chances...hmmm. Nope, it doesn't work that way. That number does concern my doc a bit that I might get pregnant with multiples. I have told him that I just want one healthy baby to bring home...but more is okay too.

Hopefully if multiples are the case, I don't have incompetent cervix. I mean, I'm already going to have a hard enough time carrying a single baby again. I can't imagine the complexities involved in carrying two or three. For now, I just hope and pray that we are pregnant. I know that God will take care of us, whatever the outcome.

Oh, and I must add a bit more. Releasing five eggs is no walk in the park. On Saturday I was walking around looking about 20 weeks pregnant again. Each egg is about 2cm in diameter, so that's 10cm in there - combined with all the other 0.5cm ones that didn't release. I was even getting up out of the couch like a pregnant lady. Perhaps it was just practice? I hope so!
