Keep busy with as many things as you can. It is really hard to wait, especially in the 2ww's. At least now you feel you are actually doing something to help you get pregnant. Come the 2ww wait you are doing just that, waiting.
Like hnelson mentioned, a hobby is good. Movies, video games, visit with friends, anything to distract your mind. I try reading in 2ww and some times I can do it and other times I find that I read the same thing over and over because my mind wonders back to the "did it work?" "am I pregnant?" questions.

I wish you the best of luck!

Nothing will really take your mind off of it. I find myself thinking about it at weird times. The only thing I can do to distract myself is bake. I make cakes and I had a birthday and wedding to do this past weekend. That helped to pass the time a little bit. Good luck with the IUI. It sounds like mine will be about 4 days past yours.

Girl, my house was never cleaner when I was waiting out the 2ww. Cleaning is very theropeutic for me though. The #1 thing is keep yourself occupied. I remember the days DRAGGING all to well....Best of luck!!
