The two week wait is an annoying period of uncertainty. I could be pregnant right now, or I could be gearing up for another disappointment. Until I can take a test in another week and a half I could considered both pregnant and not pregnant with no way to open the hypothetical box yet.

Schrödinger's Pregnancy
Here I am in yet another two week wait and I feel like Schrödinger's cat. If you are not familiar with Schrödinger's cat (or just want a good laugh) I have included a clip from the tv show The Big Bang Theory which explains the concept.
The two week wait is an annoying period of uncertainty. I could be pregnant right now, or I could be gearing up for another disappointment. Until I can take a test in another week and a half I could considered both pregnant and not pregnant with no way to open the hypothetical box yet.
This was especially evident today when I had a slight headache in the afternoon. Normally I would take Advil, but that could be bad for a possible child. If I am not pregnant, why should I suffer a headache needlessly? So in the end, I choose the pain. I choose to protect a child who, probably does not exist, because despite my past disappointment and my future worries, I still hope.
