Hot water bottle during 2ww??

[Meg86]

Hi,

I think I'm about 10-11 Dpo of about a 35 day cycle. I'm starting to get really crampy on my right hand side. It's been the same for about 24 hrs & had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday - assume af is on the way... but just wanted to check - am I ok to use a hot water bottle when I'm in my 2ww?

Thanks girls!!

Yes fine. I'd just keep a cover on if you don't already x

It's probably a reasonable thing to do but not too hot obviously. My acupuncturist did a bit of warming on me during my last session. My af is due Monday.

Great! Thanks very much both! x

I thinks fine as long as it's not directly on the skin with no cover, so yeah basically just don't cook yourself lol! xx

Apparently keeping that area warm in the whole luteal phase is meant to be great for helping implantation etc xx

Same as above, it's meant to increase blood flow to the area and help keep things flowing. I used castor oil packs with a hot water bottle after my ectopic to help move along any stuck tissue, and then for 2 months after just a hot water bottle during my 2ww. I then got another bfp so it can't hurt - good luck!

Thanks everyone! Cramping has definitely eased off now... just waiting for af to show up...
