Things to do during the dreaded 2 week wait...

NO matter what stage of treatment or timing you are at, the two week wait (the wait between ovulation and possible pregnancy) SUCKS. Here are some things I thought up to do during many of mine:

* Clean out your closets
* Take classes on anything
* Voluteer for a charity
* Balance your checkbook
* Do some crafts
* GO shopping... but no where you could wonder into a baby store
* Start a journal
* Go in search of the perfect black dress
* Clean the house like spring ceaning
* Learn how to cook or bake a new dish
* Go bolwing, skiing, batting cages, putt putt (anything that you cannot do with a baby) - but check with doctor first
* Make cookies for a friend in need
* Start a great book you have been meaning to read
* Go through old pitures from high school or college
* Try to contact an old friend or acquaintence to say hello
* See if any family or friends needs help with anything... other then babysitting!
* Go buy yourself a fabulous pair of PJs and slippers
* Get a massage (if your doctor allows)
* Get your nails done or do a home mani!
* Rent a movie you have not seen in a while
* Go ice skating or rollerskating (again if allowed by doc)
* Clean out your basement, garage or attic
* Have some fun with your partner, play games, go for a walk together, learn to appreciate him/her again in a different way

And most imprtantly...dont forget to have sex!!! Seriously... once the middle of the month has passed and you are just waiting, sex can be more fun and less timed and robotic as it does during TTC. Make it interesting becuase the sex part of TTC usually is about timing and sperm counts and all that junk.... while you are in the 2 week wait, you might as wel have some fun!!!

Those are just some of my personal suggestions. I actually signed up to get my Masters while going through bigger infertility treatmennts. It was difficult because while in school, I had surgery, a messy miscarriage followed by emergerncy surgery and then actually got and stayed pregnant!!! Kaiya was born 6 days before our graduation ceremony.... so that worked out great! And I wound up with an MBA!
