I'm trying something new this two week wait. Usually, I vacillate between thinking I'm pregnant and getting very excited, to thinking I'm not, and feeling low.
The beta is next Friday and so I have one week left of this two week wait. Instead of being all over the place emotionally, I'm going to try to find a middle path. I'm trying to not predict the outcome either way and instead to just focus on what is now: that I have three embryos inside of me. At this moment in time, and for the coming week, I have the possibility that I might be pregnant. I'm not going to assume that I am and start planning estimated due dates or how it would work with my grant, etc., or get all wrapped up in worries that I'm not and start thinking about next steps and how that would feel and how I would regroup (at least I'm going to try to avoid these things).
For this moment, at least, I am tuning in to what is true right now. I am honoring the possibility. What is true right now is that maybe there is life inside me. Just maybe. Makes me smile a little to think of it.

Great way to think about it!
ReplyDeleteMo, this feels absolutely right. Open and honoring the possibility. that is powerful in itself.
ReplyDeleteHope you can navigate this middle ground.
I'm here crossing fingers and toes for you on this one. ;)
Great, positive perspective! I'll have to try this 'middle ground' business.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very good plan to me! I'll try adopting a similar strategy myself in a few days. Sending lots of good vibes in your direction~~~
ReplyDeleteSounds good. Good work, Dr. Mo!
ReplyDeleteNo day but today, Mo :)
ReplyDeleteThinking of you!
That is the best way to make it through the wait. Good for you. Just keep smiling and thinking that the future could be much different and relax that is is in nature and God's hands at this time.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it.
Take it easy and take care,
Tracy

Mo, love your view! Way to go and let go to honor this moment you are in--with three sweet embryos within :) Following you....
ReplyDeleteI get anxious just thinking about others in the 2ww. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so very healthy and I hope it sticks around until your test! Honoring the possibility sounds just right.
ReplyDeletethis is very healthy. it is what it is, right? 3 embryos inside of you. everything else just adds to the stress and pressure of the situation.
ReplyDeletestill thinking lots of positive thoughts over here :)

Hoping the path is easy to find, those highs and lows are exhausting! You will be ok, no matter what. Take care!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, Mo!
ReplyDeleteMaybe losing the chance to POAS has stopped the usual loop from forming!
