Superstitions

Just to brighten up the board on a Thursday:

What are some of your crazy superstitions- either TTC related or not?  Do you feel like they've actually worked/made a difference?  How did you get started with them?

And..... go!

    For me:

    1.  I still lay there with my butt elevated for at least 10 minutes after sex.  And yes, I've had plenty of UTI's in my life, and no, it's not usually because of this.

    2.  Black cats, walking under ladders and broken mirrors are all bad luck.

    3.  I don't like to look ahead at my possible EDD in case it ruins everything (But sometimes it ends up popping up on different boards anyway, when researching things)

    I'm sure there are plenty of others I'll think of during the day!!!

    Okay this one is goofy, but I think I have a better chance of a BFP when I think that I won't.  The more positive I am that I may be pregnant the more likely I won't be.  Pure crazy thinking, but just how my mind works.

    Although the month DD was conceived DH was taking classes out of town and I only saw him on weekends, so 3 of 7 days each week.

    DD conceived after 3 years of ttc.
    MFI - DH had varicocele repair and took Clomid to get DD b. 02/2010

    TTC #2 since 6/2010
    10/2012 DH diagnosed with Epilepsy
    A few failed IUIs summer 2012 and 2013. 
    DH taking clomid and waiting to see if he needs another vericocele repair. 
    Hoping for a 2015 baby or babies. 
    Wishing, hoping, waiting.

    I'm not really superstitious, but that is probably because I am lazy and it would take too much time/energy.

    The only thing I can think of is TTC-related. I won't exercise or lift anything remotely heavy during the 2ww. This is probably just an excuse to not work out or lift anything heavy, but hey, you never know.

    Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
    18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!
    BFP #1 6/22/09 EDD: 3/2/10 DS born: 3/8/10

    TTC #2 since Dec 2011
    BFP #2 7/8/12 EDD: 3/18/12 M/C @ 9w1d: 8/16/12

    I am with you on the no exercise in the 2ww!  But my accupunturist agrees with this.........it is just a good excuse to be lazy.

    Guess I don't really have any superstitions really?
