I’m in the ‘two week wait’ before I can test and it’s killing me...any tips for surviving it?

Hi everyone, I’m new (waves awkwardly). So here’s the thing. I’m 40. We’ve been ttc for two years. I’ve had two early miscarriages at almost 9 weeks both times, and they nearly broke me. I’m longing for a family. I can’t even put it into words how much I need this to happen.
For the last 9 days I’ve been feeling odd. I woke in the morning so dizzy I had to hang on to the bed, which, I’m not going to lie, scared me half to death. That passed, but I’ve been feeling fleetingly sick on and off, and a bit car sicky. I’ve also been unusually stabby, ravenous, tearful, thirsty, and OMG my boobs. But the thing is I don’t know if it’s all in my head. I’m hyper aware of any sensations in my body thanks to severe allergies and occasional anaphylaxis, so I’m really aware I often overthink things and ‘make’ myself feel them, if you know what I mean? I know I’m still too early to test, and worried that I’ll be heartbroken at another negative. Can anyone give me any tips on not going completely insane while I’m waiting to test? And also...surely it’s too early for me to be feeling all of these things? Help!

A huge declutter and clean? Decorate a room? Reorganise your kitchen cupboards? I expect you'll get lots of better advice but I just want to wish you the best of luck op Flowers

Good luck @ShrivelledEggs

I had ivf twice and couldn’t make it through the 2 week wait I was testing from 3 days after the embryos were put back in so I won’t give you any advice 😂

I hope you get positive news.

Ds was my first live birth but he was my actual 4th pregnancy so we had 3 losses prior to him coming along.

Don’t lose hope 🥰

@danni0509 thank you so much for sharing, and I’m so sorry about your losses. I just hope that if it’s negative I don’t get all bitter and twisted 😕

So quick update. Sitting here crying the kind of tears that physically hurt because I came on today. I’m so deeply sad. Thanks for all your well-wishes
