🎙️ Episode 10: TWW – Currently in My Delulu Era

The Two Week Wait: It’s not two weeks—it’s two years (emotionally, at least). In this milestone 10th episode, Laura and Brandis crack open the chaotic, emotional, and often delulu reality of life during the TWW.

Whether you’re refreshing your patient portal every five minutes, lining up 12 home pregnancy tests with timestamps, or just vibing with your hydrangeas, this episode is a warm hug for anyone trying to survive the limbo between transfer and test day.

đź§  What We Cover:

  • What exactly is the TWW, and why is it so mentally brutal?

  • The temptation (and spiral) of testing early

  • Coping with obsessive Googling, Reddit rabbit holes, and false hope

  • Managing expectations: toxic positivity vs. emotional preparedness

  • Finding your peace: walks, art therapy, diamond art embryos (yes, really)

  • How to build a support system (even if it’s not IRL)

  • Why therapy and grounding tools are clutch—even after the TWW

  • How CNY Fertility’s team gets it because we’ve lived it too

đź’ˇ Fertile-ish Tips for Surviving the TWW:

  • Get a “transfer buddy” to talk you down from the ledge

  • Go for a nightly walk, water your plants, romanticize your peace

  • Try crafts, books, or diamond art to pass the time creatively

  • Know that feeling delulu is valid—and totally normal

  • Protect your peace by choosing what and when to share

  • Therapy = self-care, not a last resort

đź’¬ Listener Call-In:
