I was just thinking about all these little things that go through my head throughout the day, sort of superstitious things I guess, and just had to find out if anyone else goes through this. I especially seem to do/think these things when I'm in my 2ww. For instance, I try not to think about what I might do next cycle (treatment-wise) if this cycle doesn't work--it's like I think I'll jinx myself if I think about it. Which is sort of silly, because if the little embaby is implanting, that's that...it's not like like it would be thinking, "Oh nevermind, you're already thinking about next cycle"!! I know the whole thinking of "jinxing" is ridiculous, but I can't help it. I know the whole positive attitude is supposed to help, so that's also part of my reasoning, but I always wonder if that really helps? I think it has to. Negative thinking has to release all kinds of stress hormones or something, and those can't help. And that also is part of the reason I sometimes don't WANT to do an HPT, just in case it comes out negative, I wonder if I'm jinxing myself, and also causing myself negative thoughts. But then I think if it's positive I'll be really happy, and that's good for an embaby!! Haha, it's a vicious circle. Anyway, just had to share that!!

Heyknack .. I think we are all supersticious in a way :) I know I am. I definitely hear what you are saying about the HPT's ... I dont use them because it seems that when I am late and I use a HPT I get AF later that day or the next morning .. WITHOUT FAIL! So I guess I am afraid that if I use one, AF will show up. And even though I am aware of the days I am most fertile, I try not to think about it cuz then I over think and I stress out and well .. we all know how that goes :) So I think we are all a bit supersticious in our own little ways! Guess when you have been TTC for as long as most of us have, you cant help it! Good luck to you!!
