How to Get Through The Two Week Wait

What’s known as the ‘two week wait’ is one of the most challenging parts of a fertility journey, whether you’re conceiving naturally or through IVF.

In this article, we’ll discuss energy work and spiritual alternatives that help reduce anxiety and improve the chances of implantation during the two week wait.

It can be tempting to check symptoms and obsess over fertility stories on social media. However, this type of behaviour will only lower your vibration. When you interact with other people’s energies, even via the internet, it often ends up being absorbed and affecting your energy, therefore impacting the success of your implantation. 

It’s a good idea to make a checklist to distract yourself during times of anxiety. For instance, you might want to incorporate these higher vibrational activities into your daily routine: 

10 Recommendations for the 2 Week Wait 

1. Diet 

2. Meditation 

3. Affirmations 

4. Energy clearing 

5. Raise your vibration

6. Gratitude 

7. Work with the Universe Energies 

8. Nature 

9. Music 

10. Acupuncture 

Diet:

Consider Pineapple

Pineapple includes bromelain which moves the blood in Chinese Medicine. To encourage blood flow to the uterus, we recommend eating fresh pineapple for 5 days, starting at the day of embryo transfer. 

Eat According to your Diagnosis 

If I diagnose you with Damp at my clinic in Wolverhampton, it’s best to continue to avoid dairy. If you have a cold uterus, it’s best to eat warm foods. See the article, “Foods for your fertility diagnosis” for further clarity. 

Meditation: 

Meditation increases the alpha and theta brainwaves, enabling your body to relax. It also reduces the beta brain waves which are associated with an increase in energy, stress and anxiety. 

When the brain is in a relaxed state, it sends signals to the uterus which supports a safe environment for the embryo to implant. 

Specific meditations such as energy clearing meditation, heart uterus healing and third eye chakra meditation will actively clear negative energy that can cause physical blockages in the uterus. I am able to advise on all of these at my clinic in Wolverhampton.

Affirmations: 

After 30 days, repeating the same positive affirmations daily increases certain neurological pathways in the brain. This encourages the brain to maintain a positive attitude and increase self esteem and motivation. It helps to include affirmations in the present tense. 

According to the Law of Attraction, you attract what you vibrate at. Affirm that you already have what you want, and act like it has already been given to you; that it is written and already decided:

“My uterus is strong and healthy.” 

“My embryo is implanting in perfect timing.”

“I trust my body.” 

Energy Clearing

According to physics, everything is made of particles of energy which vibrate at different frequencies. This includes us humans. We are all made of energy and we oscillate at higher or lower frequencies depending on our emotions and state of mind. 

As humans, we are affected by feelings that often originate from childhood wounds, perpetuated by societal pressure, culture, family and relationships going through life. Our energy can also be affected by the emotions of those around us. 

In the two week wait, try to keep your energy as clear as possible. Before being able to rise high, we must first clear out any negative emotions which may be causing blockages. Try to journal and burn your negative feelings at least once during this time period. 

Raise your Vibration 

This means doing things that make you feel calm and happy, such as peaceful activities like meditation, affirmations and yoga. But also, do something that you love every day, just for your enjoyment. For example, this might be reading, dancing, playing an instrument or art and crafts. 

If you can’t think of a hobby that you enjoy, consider what you used to love doing as a child. It always helps to bring back some of that childhood energy. 

Practise Gratitude 

Expressing gratitude is a powerful way to raise your energetic vibration, move past challenges and receive good things. Keep a gratitude diary or a gratitude app. 

Work with the Universe 

Read our weekly energy emails and see if you can work weekly with the astrological transits . For example, release triggers and anxieties at a Full Moon and manifest your ideal outcome at a New Moon. 

Spend Time in Nature 

Ideally you should do this every day, because it raises your vibration. In particular, walking helps to move the Qi and blood in a gentle way, supporting implantation and promoting positive mental health. 

If you can spend time with animals, this is a wonderful way to spread peace and love to the natural world. It also helps you to receive peace and love yourself, supporting your uterus and reducing anxiety. 

Listen to Music 

Listening to music you love can increase vibrational alignment. Singing or playing an instrument can also support your throat chakra, which is great for inner child healing, lung channel and immune system. 

Meanwhile, dancing supports your sacral chakra, where the fertility organs are housed. Listening to high vibrational music such as 432hz increases the alpha brain wave activity, promoting calm. 

Acupuncture 

Acupuncture during the two week wait has many purposes. It supports the kidney energy, uterus and implantation. Acupuncture continues to work on your fertility diagnoses such as Damp or Yin deficiency in a way that is individualised for you. Acupuncture also moves the blood and Qi, preventing any blockages. It also induces relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety. 

I deliver fertility acupuncture for clients in and around Wolverhampton.
