Cycle

Deepest confession of a person who is TTC (Trying To Conceive). If you're rolling your eyes for the acronym, too bad! It’s a jargon. Just like all brides-to-be know what is a MUA.

So what goes through her head everyday?

  • Everyday is like a number counting game. Day 10, 11, 12, 13, 14!? Counting forward and backward, just to make sure she’s on the right track.
  • Time passes by very slow and she can't wait for tomorrow or the month to end
  • Keep praying for a missed period especially closer to the ‘expected’ date
  • Physiologically trying to look for signs of pregnancy – nausea? headache? fatigue? constipation?
  • "Is it today? Is it today?" (For those who faithfully monitor their fertility trend)
And finally, the period comes ! Mixed emotions erupt - sadness, disappointment, self-encouragement, frustration, guilt, self-comfort, and finally onto a quick recovery mode of hopeful...

The same thought process resets...Day 1, day 2....
