Cold uterus too? 🥶 🤷‍♀️

As I’m reclining with a castor oil pack on my stomach I’m wondering if anyone else does this, or has a cold uterus. Any luck?

While doing my normal monthly fertility research 🤪 “cold uterus” kept jumping out to me. I have a few of the symptoms. My feet (and hands) are generally always cold. Now I’m realizing that my love for super cold drinks/foods is definitely not helping! So, in addition to the castor oil pack (with a warming source on top) I’ve been drinking *gasp* room temperature water all day and drinking tea. I’ve also been dressing warm (which is easier now sitting at home in the AC during COVID-19) and most importantly keeping my feet warm. They say “warm feet, warm womb”. 🤷‍♀️ I also got out my heated slippers that I use during the winter and started using a heating pad on my abdomen once a day (just until ovulation.)

And guess what? My hands/feet have been of regular human temperature for the past few days. Who knew?? 🤣

I figured the castor oil pack couldn’t hurt! If you haven’t already, check into it, it’s supposedly amazing for SO many things!

**Should only use castor oil pack during the follicular phase (from day after AF until ovulation). Although I did read that you can then use it on your liver after that, but I need to do more research!**
