Your routine during 2ww?

Hi ladies!

Just for small talk sake (I'm not asking for advice or anything), what sort of things (if any, that is) do you differently during the 2ww "just in case" this is the month it all works?  Like, just in case you might be pregnant, do you stop drinking?  Avoid eating fish?  Stop taking hot baths? 

Like I said, just curious :)

ETA: Changed word in subject from "routing" to "routine"

Nothing really. I don't let DS walk on my belly though. I still drink and eat out wherever I please.

I don't change anything.  I'm not a big drinker as it is, but I wouldn't turn down a night on the town or a glass of wine within the 2WW.

I dont do anything different. I used to but after 6 months of trying im just letting nature take its course. Im a monster when I cut out caffeiene. When my stick turns pink ill cut it out but until then theres no reason for my husband to have to experience the fereal beast I become before my coffee.

I don't drink alcohol much anyways, but I do cut back on caffeine as in no caffeine during 2ww.

I pretty much do the same stuff. I'm done overanalyzing every detail about my body!

The first few months I was TTC, I went nuts. No caffeine, including chocolate, no lunch meat, no alcohol, etc. I learned a lot from the women on this board and am currently living my life as normal until I get a positive test.

This past cycle I held off coloring my hair, I didn't drink alcohol and limited my caffeine. Today is CD1, so I let loose on all those things this afternoon in an attempt to make myself feel better. 

ETA: edited to make more sense.

I don't do anything differently during the 2ww. And the only thing I'll do differently when I get a bfp is eliminate Diet Coke.

Mom of three:

Mary Jane (11yo) ~ Kaden (9yo) ~ Eliza Poppy (3yo)

Trying for a fourth since 11/2011

Eat healthy, rest more, and suffer pms without tylenol incase it was KU symptom. Of course that makes me extra delightful when af comes. Apparently my doc tells me tylenol is ok so i will not be suffering this time...

I do everything I'd normally do. Can you honestly imagine altering your entire life drastically for (essentially) half a month just in case you MIGHT be pregnant? I run, bike, take hot showers/baths, swing from the rafters, eat sushi, drink...

Imagine if you don't get pregnant right away and you do this for months/years. Yeah, no. Unless my RE says I shouldn't do something during the 2WW I don't change shiiiiit.

TTC since October 2011.
DX with Non-IR PCOS in October 2012.
Missing RIGHT tube due to a prior surgery to remove cyst-zilla (40 lbs!) at age 12.
HSG showed tube was blocked - cleared by dye. DON'T DO CLOMID WITHOUT AN HSG!
Cycle #8 with 50mg Clomid & TI = BFN
Cycle #9 with 50mg Clomid & TI = No response.
Cycle #10 with Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel shot = BFN
Cycles #11 & 12 are unmedicated (No temping/testing/charting)

HAHA. Tequila is the devil.

I have already cut out everything except wine. I figure French women have perfectly healthy babies, and I need something to distract me from every twinge I feel.

I don't change anything. If I plan on drinking, then I'll take a test that morning (only if I'm over 8 DPO).

Also, fish is quite healthy and a good source of DHA and omega 3s. I actually made a point of eating more fish during my first pregnancy. You have to watch the mercury content and maybe avoid sushi, but fish is quite healthy. Mercury actually can stay in your system for a long time (over a month), so if this is a concern of yours, you should worry about it all the time, not just in the 2ww. Just an FYI.

Nothing. I just went to Vegas and partied pretty hard for my 30th bday this past weekend. I feel like if it could do damage, then your body would have a way of letting you know immediately that you were pregnant so you could avoid certain things. If anything, I have been more aware of what I'm eating and being healthier.

I do this too.  Then it gives me something to drink about if it is a BFN! However, if it is ever a BFP it will be hard to hide around everyone else that is drinking that I can't due to a BFP BUT I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT DAY!!

Why no green tea?  I'm in my first cycle TTC, and I'm trying to learn the do and don't ropes....
