The Two Week Wait

The Two Week Wait…never thought I would have to suffer through something like that again. The Two Week Wait is a term used frequently in the infertility world to name the horrifically stressful wait from the day you implant to the day you go in for your blood test.

Today, I got my pre-op instructions for my explant. I’m just two weeks away now. The anxiety is definitely building. Two weeks with no Advil or any of my other pain meds. I have already been dealing with the stress of waiting to explant since I scheduled the surgery in May, but now I have the added stress of how to manage the joint pain, frequent migraines and so on for the next two weeks. I know I’ll survive, but just thinking forward to everything I still need to do before the surgery without the help of my meds is unpleasant to say the least. I just need to keep telling myself:

One day at a time.

I’m almost there.
