Waiting

We're now in the two week wait (TWW) period of my cycle.  Some women find this part the most excruciating, but for me that would be the pre-ovulation cycle days.  My cycle is usually pretty long, and the 21+ days before ovulation is the worst.  Even though my body is getting ready and preparing for ovulation it feels like nothing is happening and wasted time.

During the TWW there is hope and anticipation that this cycle will be the one.  I feel in tune with my body during this time - feeling every single movement and cramp and hoping that something is happening down there.  I am praying that the timing of everything worked, but I'm not holding my breath.  I've been through this many times before: feeling bloated and "full", small cramps, sore breasts, tiredness, then getting OH SO EXCITED that I've reached day 16 or 17 days post-ovulation, and then....my period.
