How do you handle the 2ww?

I am going crazy over here!!! My bloodwork is Thursday and that is all I have thought about all day today.  I still have 2 more days to go.  Last week, I was all chill, but now....a ball of anxiety.  What are some of the ways that you deal with this?  I'm planning on testing Wed morning 11dpiui. Do you think that it would show up then?  I've always just waited until AF was late or the day she was due.  I don't think I want to wait for the phone call when I am seeing clients at work (and could possibly be in a session).

Re: How do you handle the 2ww?

  • I'd test Wednesday AND Thursday. It could be too early Wednesday but it might not be! Keeping FX for you!!!

  • Did you use an hcg trigger prior to the iui? If so, did you test it out?

    If you did use one, it is possible to it to stick around in your system for upwards of 14 days, so just be aware of that.

    And ditto the other ladies. I would test, and also keep in mind that it could possibly be too early.

    FX for you!!

    ...hello out there!

  • The waiting sucks! I was on vacation during mine! I read a lot and watched movies. Anything to keep me from thinking about it or googling symptoms.

    Good luck and FX!

  • Good luck!! FX for you!

    I'm horrible at the 2WW but this month we are buying a puppy and a house so there's plenty to keep me busy! And I'm so thankful because normally I symptom spot and symptom spot and read TTC blogs and symptom spot. See a trend here??
  • I'm no help. I could only survive by testing the entire 2ww. I'd test out the trigger and then continue to test waiting for the + to come back.

    I'm hoping for great news for you on Thursday!

  • I am not good during the TWW at all! But, I've managed to always hold off until AF is due.
    I've always been the same way. My brain would refuse to think of anything else, especially after the first week, and it was like I could hear every second tick by. But I almost always managed to wait for AF to show. 

    Everything crossed for this Thursday! I'd definitely at LEAST test the morning of your betas. I'd want the heads up too if it were going to be negative.

  • The first week is the easiest for me, but the second is torture. I try to schedule as many fun things as possible- date with mr, lunch with friends, shopping, vacation if I can. And stay away from google.
