… How to avoid going crazy while you wait
We don’t know about you, but when it comes to the two week wait (2ww), it’s THE WORST! And let’s face it, it really tests your patience especially when a day feels like an eternity.
It doesn’t matter how much common sense you have, the 2ww kinda makes you… well … crazy… at least we’ll speak for ourselves.
When we were trying to conceive, Mary would look for breast tenderness (as she’d cop a feel multiple times a day) while Tanya would put a pee test up to the light hoping to see a faint positive line even when it was too early.
The point is, one of the toughest parts of the emotional rollercoaster ride of baby making is the TWO WEEK WAIT whether you are trying to conceive naturally or if you are doing an IUI or IVF.
If you are anything like us and want to avoid the struggle, we want to help you thrive during the 2ww and manage the suspense, grab your earbuds and listen to this podcast.
