The 2 week wait

Hello everyone! So it's been six days since my first insemination and 5 since the second. This 2 week wait is so hard. I'm trying really hard to not think about it and just live life like it hasn't happened :? There are times when I'm optimistic and there are times like right now where I'm not at all 
I know it's only been 6 days, but has anyone who has been inseminated felt anything this early as far as that feeling of "just knowing" you are pregnant? I am also on progesterone so maybe that could be making me a little blah? Any advice or thoughts of things that helped you to keep your mind occupied would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thinking of you today.. hope you got good news!
Not my time yet
Looking forward to everyones updates and BFPs
Good Luck Ladies
I just got back from my IUI. it went very well i had 6 follies 3 on each side but the ones on the left were very good size. we will see if this is our time. Goodluck Moe. Hope we get BFP's.. Im feelin very good about this one.
After that we tried every cycle for a year (missing a few due to timing) - I just found out that I am pregnant again.Crossing my fingers hard.
For myself, I have to say that the 2 weeks waiting period is really really hard! I tried and tried to "not think about it" but honestly EVERY alone time that I had, I thought about that, made up the possibilities, calculated timing... What else do you think about like 40 times a day? It really takes over. And through the tries, I did not find it got any easier. Same same anxious feeling... The roller coaster is one of the hardest things I have put myself through emotionally without being able to find peace.
As for the "knowing" - the progesterone also did tricks on me. It made me moody and very bloated all the time. After the first time, I did have some notion of what it could feel like to be pregnant and I have to say that on the progesterone, I felt pregnant a couple of times and wasn't. I don't mean to discourage you. For me the most definite feeling came at the end of the second week (close to my period date). I could feel the bottom of my belly getting hard (that part of my belly usually caves in if I am lying on my back) right above the pubic bone...
I hope this helps.
Good luck with everything!
Moe
I know how disappointing it is to come here and be like oh no my number was 7.3 mill and hers was 120 mill and I should switch donors or I got screwed. Just wanted people to not read those things into it because people may be quoting all sorts of different numbers. The Fairfax minimums refer to the TMC, so your sperm will be within spitting distance of the minimums they have.
But I think they get the TMC from a calculation using the concentration, volume, and motility %. Anyway, 80 mill concentration and 50% motility is great.
Sorry to hear about your bfn manda.
Well yesterday i took a home test and it was positive. Im 12 days past trigger shot n 10 dpiui. Still kind of early so im hopin it stays positive.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
Moe
