If you're really impatient, you could try adding some bottled bacteria like Tetra SafeStart. It's not a guarantee, but it might help speed things up a bit.
I've had mixed results with bottled bacteria. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Just don't rely on it too much.

Honestly, I'd just wait. Messing with it too much can make it worse. My tank finally cycled after I stopped stressing and let it be.

Agreed. The more you interfere, the longer it might take. Trust the process and keep testing.
