The two week wait is officially over; no exciting news to report. I bought a couple of books about adoption. One a history of adoption in America, which is just interesting. The other is one of those for idiots kinds. We are talking about adoption on a theoretical level in my house, but we have yet to really set foot on the path.
As far as a bio-kid goes, we are not particularly interested in spending money on a reproduction specific doctor (which is not covered by either of our insurances), since that money could go into an adoption... HOWEVER, I still think maybe an appointment with an ob may be in order.
Sigh. I don't know. Nothing will be happening today though.
It's been a rough week.

The Two Week Wait
Mr Smiley on the ovulation test has gone back into hibernation & I am officially in the churning emotional waters of the Two Week Wait.
During the first few official TWWs we went through, I felt excited. We had moved from randomly hoping a pregnancy would show up just from doing nothing to stop it, to watching for a happy face to appear in an attempt to target that lil' ovum more precisely. Dropping almost $50 a month on something to pee on seemed like a great step in the right direction. I was able to know when my body was gearing up to open the gates- not unlike the beginning of a horse race. We could try to catch that little horse as he made his way down the midway.
After the miscarriage, I switched to the "advanced" Mr Smiley who is flashy to indicate higher estrogen levels and then turns steady for 2 days to indicate the LH surge. Because this extra level of smiley-hood, THAT must be what I've been missing. blink.
These days, I feel like doing the LH test is just a part of the morning routine, like brushing my teeth or feeding the dogs. It almost doesn't seem connected to the possibility of a pregnancy.
