Waiting for Referrals is like a late Period

Well it is getting to be that time of the month. And no I'm talking about my period. It is the time of the month when referrals come in. Well they are late. They have been referring towards the end of each month/first couple days of the next month. What does this do to people?

Well if this was a period.....what happens when you are late with your period. Well if you have been trying to get pregnant, you get very anxious, very excited, cannot concentrate, and take every pregnancy test known to man. When you pee on the stick, what happens, it is negative and then your period starts. Well that has been the story of my attempts to get pregnant. Or even worse you get a positive, then you get a "period". What the hell. How do you even react to that? By taking more tests, drinking or enhaling water, then pee again 10 minutes later. Only to find out that you either had a bad test, or you had an early miscarriage.

Well the fact referrals are a day or two late, it is driving everyone on the boards crazy. Even though it is not our turn, what happens now affect us in the future. So you get very anxious, very excited, cannot concentrate and you check every email or Rumor Queen multiple times a day. The Rumor Queen board is like a pregancy test.....you check (the pee), they then say yep referrals are on the way (the positive test), then you wait (drinking of the water), then you go back to the board (pee again), find out that referrals are not coming (nope not pregnant).

Hilarious. Well, actually, NOT. Frustrating. Irritating. Mind bending.

OHMY! I try to throw the pee tests from when we were 'trying' into the back of my mind. No need to relive those days! But you are right on the money with this matching cycle!

Lets hope aunt flo visits tonight

Good analogy. It certainly brings back pee stick memories.
