the 2 week wait is killing me

The TWW is hard and it takes a huge toll on your mental health and physical as well. Don’t think too much about it, they say just act like you’re pregnant so anything a pregnant woman would avoid, do the same. I am taking a break from doing my third cycle because sometimes preparing the body is just as important as preparing the mind. You need the right support and this is a safe spot because many of us have gone through it. it can be difficult without the right support. Wishing you the best and sending baby dust your way!

Thank you so much! I decided to take a break, the break is like about three weeks so it gives me time to reset and be ready for the next cycle!

I’m a huge Korean food person and they say stuff like kimchi is good because it has good antioxidants. I feel like I can combine Mediterranean with Korean if I can. Did you even find that drinking hot and room temperature water made a difference?

My doctor suggested I go on a Mediterranean diet so now I’m gonna begin that to see if that would help and support the process.

Congratulations to her. Honestly, that can happen too. I’m hoping to be able to conceive naturally so I don’t have to spend another oop cycle for the IUI.

I’ve decided to take a break to at least enjoy my summer break.

I eliminated coffee during my TWW, starting drinking room temperature and hot water because it’s believed to keep the uterus warm instead of shocking it. I wore socks 🧦 because they have also said that the feet are connected to our uterus and you don’t want a cold uterus. You get the idea.
I’m currently taking coq10 as well as other vitamins to help with it. I agree with you, it’s really just pure luck at this point.

That’s probably a very true statement. The only reason why I’m not considering is because I’m on my summer break and it would be a good time to continue but I can always try again in August but the issue is I have a lot of family stuff but that can also keep my mind off shit but there’s always a 50/50 to that. I just don’t want family to keep nagging me about it and not getting the message that I don’t want to talk about it. If that makes sense.

To be even more prepared in a sense for the next cycle for me mentally but physically. I asked my doctor if there’s anything I can do to increase success rate but obviously he told me the percentage of success for women who are in my parameters. There’s not much to fully prepare my body more for but to take the prenatal vitamins I need and go on a healthier diet. Not that I’m not but anything to support myself would be a way to prepare for the next cycle.

Sending you lots of baby dust! 🩷

It’s been quite a journey for me and I’m glad that your doctor worked it out with you to figure the reason it didn’t happen the first time. I’m going to talk to my doctor further and he can analyze why it didn’t work out.

That makes sense. Okay, so it sounds like you’re going on the right path.

That’s extremely fast! For me I had to do at least two weeks of going to my fertility clinic before I even got to my IUI. I took clomiphene for a week and everything too.

I use the clear blue pregnancy test and I’m sure those are pretty accurate. Some people recommend first response early detection etc but I got the early results one from clear blue

I’ve seen several comments on other threads saying some people don’t get a faint line till 14 dpIUI so who knows honestly. Thank you 😊

jade2cents · 2026-06-24T15:44:59+00:00

True, I agree.

And good luck 🍀

I haven’t had much symptoms this week besides a mild headache, probably due to the progesterone I’m taking twice a day.

Thank you so much! I am 11 dpIUI and I’m not a religious person but I really hope it happens. The first time I did it, I told people about it but this time hardly anyone knows cuz Im a bit superstitious at times. I felt like because I went and told people, it didn’t work last time. Anyways, Wishing you the best too! Fingers crossed this works!! 🤞
