Hello dears! Another Friday is upon us and with it, the smell of the weekend. Ohhh I can taste the freedom from here. It’s also my birthday this weekend – so I am probably more hyped about it than usual. But that’s not what I’m here to write about. I’m here to write about the two week wait (TWW) – that time between ovulation or embryo transfer (depending on how you’re doing things) – and the time when you can test to see if you are pregnant. This is famously one of the hardest parts of the jourrrrrrney, even if you are doing IVF. So if you’re in it right now, know that you’re not weird for finding it hard. It is hard. The newsletter will hopefully help a little.
