How to Cope with the Two Week Wait: Tools for the Most Stressful Part of TTC

EFT Tapping is a great tool for relieving fertility related stress & anxiety.

If you’re Trying to Conceive and in the middle of the two week wait (TWW), you know just how intense it can feel. One minute you're hopeful, the next you're spiraling into what-ifs and symptom spotting. It’s a time full of uncertainty, and it can be emotionally exhausting.

In this post, I’m sharing some simple tools to help you cope — not just to “stay positive,” but to feel more grounded, calm, and connected to your body, no matter the outcome.

Here are a few gentle ways to support yourself during the TWW:

1. Practice Nervous System Regulation

Your body holds the stress of waiting — even if you’re trying to “stay calm.” Techniques like EFT Tapping, breathwork, and gentle movement can help calm your nervous system and lower cortisol.

2. Stop Trying to ‘Think Positive’

It’s okay to feel scared, anxious, or exhausted. The TWW brings up big emotions, and trying to force positivity can actually make you feel more disconnected. What helps is processing those emotions, not pushing them away.

3. Use EFT Tapping to Move Through the Spiral

Tapping helps you acknowledge your fear, anxiety, or hope — and shift your state without bypassing how you feel. It sends calming signals to the brain and supports your hormones and nervous system while you wait.
