IUI - dos and donts during 2ww

So today Im having my second IUI. I was talking to my Mum last night and telling her how Im going to keep busy during the 2ww and do some wedding planning and make a start on my Xmas shopping and she told me I should really be taking it easy for the two weeks. She doesn't think I should even be hoovering! It got me thinking that maybe I shouldnt be doing as much. I have a pretty stressful office job and Im usually running about doing something most evenings. Is it ok to continue as normal during the 2ww or should I take it down a notch? xx

I don’t think wedding planning and Christmas shopping will hurt, probably a great distraction! I was told hoovering is ok I just didn’t want to risk it. Use your common sense, you’ll know what’s too much. Good luck xx

Thank you. I think I'll take the opportunity to leave the hoovering to my other half! 🤣

After my unsuccessful EC & ET last year I went back to work after 2x day's for both (they fell on weekends).Even though I only work part time I've decided to take 1x day off after Collection & the whole 2ww off. Ive decided I want total rest. But you just need to do what feels best for you. If you feel like your getting stressed/tired just slow down & put your feet up! You can always do your shopping online 😂. Good luck with it all! Xx
