Two Week Wait

The two week wait has to be the most awful part of procedures like this. It's almost like a timer is set, going backwards, the moment you get off the table. Suddenly you can feel every cramp, pull, and twinge. You question everything. Could that be implantation? Could it be my body rejecting the embryo?
Oh, and that is just the beginning. Throw in the added hormones pumping through your body and suddenly you "feel" pregnant. Your boobs are bigger, swollen, and tender. You get tired easily and feel nauseous throughout the day. Plus your nose is working overtime and you can smell things from a mile away. You know progesterone side effects mimic pregnancy. You remind yourself of that daily but everything your feeling is so intense, it has to be more than just a side effects from those pesky injections. Right?
You spend two weeks staring at yourself in the mirror and questioning anything and everything. Sure, you could cheat and take a HPT but you are strongly urged not to. So you just wait.
And then comes beta testing day...
