Lucky fertility socks

Hey, if something is supposed to help - I'll try it!

There is sort of an urban legend on many message boards - when you go to your appointments and put your feet in the stirrups (especially at the transfer) you're supposed to keep your feet warm. And actually, it may not be so much of an urban legend. Many acupuncturists recommend this - something about warm feet = warm uterus, which is a good thing. And while I was doing some research on it, I found that the Standford IVF program also suggests that you wear comfortable clothing to the transfer and "socks to keep your feet warm."

Enter the lucky socks. If you have to keep your feet warm, why not do it with lucky socks? It seems that many do sort of a fun mismatched sock thing, but really - am I a mismatched sock sort of girl? I think not. So, while Jason and I were out tonight, we bought some lucky socks! What makes them "lucky" you ask? Nothing, except that we say they are. They actually came with 2 pairs and at some point I'll send the second ones on to someone else who needs lucky fertility socks.

I love my socks! They are pink and warm and fuzzy. :)
