How in the world did I get in the 2ww?!

TTCBabyJ

Well my old RE assured me that I would never ovulate without medication. Well like so many other things I guess she was wrong and this is why she is my ex-RE. Well according to FF and a couple of positive OPKs I am about 3dpo. So shocked I ovulated on my own this month. Since starting TTC I have lost 20lbs which is really hard with PCOS. I'm also thinking that the clomid I took from the last two cycles is still in my system, so I guess it's not truly an unmedicated cycle but I'll take it. I was really dreading the provera before we start the injectible cycle with new RE. Well I guess it's time to pull out all my weird rituals that I do during 2ww. My DH just looked at me and smiled when I started pulling out stuff today.

Thanks ladies...I really do appreciate the support.
Well here goes my list of 2ww rituals:
1. I drink a lot of water. I have this huge bpa free water bottle that I use. A hydrated uterus is a happy uterus.
2. I wear these argyle socks all day. A warm uterus is a happy uterus. It has been like 90 degrees the past few days but I don't care.
3. I eat a pineapple core.
4. I drink at least 8oz of Pom juice. I would drink more but that stuff is so expensive.
5. I eat Brazilian nuts.
6. Every day I meditate and envision the egg being fertilized and implanting into the uterus.
7. No fried foods and as much green and leafy as I can eat.
8. And last and most importantly I give DH my pregnancy tests for safe keeping until 14dpo. Because I am a POAS-Holic.
Well there is my list of BSC 2ww rituals.

Wow!!  That is quite the ritual!!  Usually I just stop drinking coffee and alcohol and then obsess over how sore/not sore my boobies are every day.  I love that you're doing visualization though.  I have a daily meditation from Circle + Bloom that I listened to in past cycles to help me visualize.

GL again.  I hope your rituals pay off this month!

Good luck, good luck, good luck! And a BIG congrats on that weight loss! I'm just starting down that road with my recent PCOS diagnosis. It's hard work, for sure!

I've heard so much about pineapple core! Does it really improve chances? I'll be trying it next month.

Actually with all the stuff I try I will never be able to pinpoint which one helped get my BFP. But I figure if it's not too expensive and not harmful what the heck. Actually the pineapple core really helped minimize the bruising I had the last time I had lipo. So hopefully it will help with implantation as well.

That's quite a ritual you have going there!  I'm generally not a superstitious person but the next time I'm in a 2WW I'm tempted to borrow some of yours    GL this cycle!

@TTCBabyJ‌ I love pineapple so it won't hurt to try it. Hell I try everything that could possibly help my chances of a BFP

Yay for O! Good luck!
