The waiting game (C5;CD26;5DPO)

I used to think that TTC sounded like such a blast. I mean, how hard can it be if countless wild teens do it accidentally on a regular basis? Think of all of the single mums, lesbians that get preggers from anon sperm donors - sheesh, no wonder my mother told me to kee my legs shut.

That was, until I realised there is a science behind it all. There really is only like a 24-36 hour window to get the deed done - so on average, only 24 days out of the whole year where it might be possible . And that's of course assuming that everything is 'functioning' the way it should, and that all of hubby's sperm have a map to my fallopian tubes. But, knowing hubby, they all take after him and would never stop to ask for directions and would inevitably get lost along the way - all the time the girly spermies shaking their heads and saying 'I told you so' as they swim on by.

And, of course, in between ovulation and "knowing" whether or not it worked is a TWW of hell. It is during the TWW you inevitably get sick (as hubby has done now lying in bed with the flu). Then you wonder, can I take something (ex. cold medicine, cough medicine, etc)? What if I'm pregnant and I take something? Will it hurt the baby? What if I'm not pregnant and I'm just suffering. Stop being such an ass and just take the drugs so you'll feel better.

I've also sold my Maybe Baby on eBay. I figured anything that involved me spitting on it on a daily basis and then examining the contents through a microscope has got to be a joke... I mean, for real - they expect me to keep flushing my money down the toilet on things that don't work - honestly. So... another poor unwitting TTCer can sit there analysing their slag instead of me... good luck to them!
