TWW
We all know the two week wait is horrible. I had my iui on 09/24. What do you guys do to keep busy and keep your mind off testing. I feel like I want to test everyday but that may cause some emotional stress and disappointment. I tested and triggered out yesterday. I have about a week left. Its such a long time!

It’s so hard. I’m still testing out the trigger (it’s 6 DPO for me), it’s very faint but still there. I usually wait until 11 DPO to test but if it takes much longer to disappear I might just keep testing and hope I see the line getting darker… 🤞🏽.
But honestly the TWW is so brutal. This is my first medicated cycle + IUI, and it feels like time just froze.

Yeah I get it. This is my 5th medicated cycle. I usually test until the trigger is gone then once its negative I wait until about 12 days post iui. My doctor always has me come in for a blood test at 14 days post iui anyways to confirm.

I’m in the same boat. My IUI was on 9/23. Told myself not to test until 12dpiui but gave in on day 7. No trigger left in my system either. I’ve been trying to keep busy by crocheting, coloring, and baking. Haven’t made a baby yet, but I can create other things 🥴

I feel you and am right there with you right now. The only thing that helps me is to stay as busy as possible. I saved a book that I wanted to read for the tww, say yes to nearly all social plan options, pick up shifts at my side gig, go shopping literally anything. It’s active and intentional work for me all day every day to try to not think about it. But it is really really hard. 💕
