Schrodinger’s Pregnancy

I was responding to a post on my fb support group from someone who just had a transfer and was kind of going nuts with her emotions asking if that was normal. The immediate term I thought of was Schrodinger's cat and how the 2ww is basically Schrodinger's pregnancy: you're pregnant and not pregnant at the same time. I was so tickled with this thought that I googled it and found this blog post from 2013 on the concept.

What makes this experience unique, compared to situations of waiting in unknown like waiting for results of a job application, is that the box of indeteminancy is located within your own body. That box that contains one truth and the experience of living with two, that is placed in the intimate space of your self....  Every twinge, ache, or fluid becomes a potential messenger–sending us word of what has happened that we cannot know.

It's so well said and makes so much sense. There is literally nothing to do but wait. Wait and try to manage expectations while preparing for possible disappointment.
