Nothing Drains Me Quite Like The Two-Week Wait.
Infertility Anxiety will do that.
Disclaimer: miscarriage and period talk
Ever since my first miscarriage, my monthly cycles divide me into two different Graces mentally. The first half is positive and hopeful (sometimes not even thinking about fertility) Grace. The second half is full of conflicted thoughts and anxious Grace. After my second miscarriage, the two Graces became even more obvious and stronger.
The second half of my monthly cycle is exhausting.
I have had anxiety my whole life. There have been times that it was harder to focus and keep my thoughts straight, but it doesn’t come close to what I experience these days.
