To be or not to be (superstitious/paranoid)

There is so much out there about random things to do to make an IVF work!!! Here are the things I AM doing:
1. Keeping warm: keeping socks on my feet until I'm past the implantation window and keeping my stomach covered (keeps blood flowing and prevents blood from going from the tummy to other places to warm up those cold areas)
2. Avoiding ice cream and ice cold beverages (same premise)
3. Meditating (I love chakra meditation and some others I found on youtube... I will need to link them to this post)
4. Making a countdown of positive thoughts
5. I will start using preg. tests after 6dpt, to test out the HcG and then hopefully get a positive. That way if it's negative it won't be such a crushing blow on the day of the beta but will be more gradual
6. Watch positive, comical shows-- preferably comedies! A study showed that laughter may help women get pregnant, and honestly, this isn't a hard thing to keep up with! I DVR'ed a bunch of "How I Met Your Mother" episodes and watch Friends whenever it's on!


Interestingly I feel so oddly at peace right now. I have minor cramping and twinges but I feel that this is all in God's hands. I believe it will work but if it doesn't for some reason I am fully at peace with it. I am trusting God right now more than I think I ever have in my life.
