So on my profile (hopefully) there is a picture of the famous fertility statues. They are currently on display at ripleys believe it or not in Orlando. In September 2008 I touched these statues and then conceived in my third month of trying in 2009. I had been trying for 9 months to Conceive dc2 when I saw something about the statues and saved a photo of them to my ipad. I dutifully touched the photo a couple of times and now in the tenth month of trying I am pregnant!
Now I know its probably a load of bull and it was probably just my time to get pregnant but anyone want to give it a go and report back on this thread? Would be interesting not very scientific at all experiment.
Let me know if the photo isn't there but hopefully it is on my profile.

It didn't work for me. Second month in a row. Sorry if I'm skewing your stats.

AFewShitsBehind · 29/05/2013 10:16

been rubbing all this month. Due on AF today and nothing so far. Recieved a BFN a few days ago but hoping for a dud test...

Ok, will do thanks - I've been rubbing like a loon so far! Grin

I have no idea paragon. If it doesn't work this month try again next month but earlier.

Congrats harkatyou! How long have you been ttc? So pleased for you.

This appears to have been effective for me, rubbed it a few weeks ago and got my bfp last week!

ParagonPumpkin · 27/05/2013 20:34

Ok,, I'm up for it, I've given it a vigorous rubbing and convinced DH too as well, it took a bit of snarling sweet talking to get him to do it though! I'm in the tww at the moment, does it still work if you rub it on the tww or does it have to be around ovulation? Confused

Been rubbing the pic on/off this cycle and got my BFP today, very excited.
stats are- ttc#3 cycle 6. Good Luck All!

hopefulgum · 20/05/2013 22:20

Well, I am afraid the rubbing didn't do it for me this time (but I am a hard case, so maybe it will take a bit longer). 11 DPO and a BFN. Looks like I am out this month.I usually have a bfp by 10 dpo. And my temperature has nose-dived. Sorry I couldn't be a positive test case for the fertility statueSad

CourgetteSmuggler · 20/05/2013 16:15

Just rubbed again.. I've got 9 days left until AF. The wait is awful.

Given the photo a quick stroke :-D Thanks Ninja!

SpecificDreamRabbit · 12/05/2013 17:55

I just rubbed the once and then forgot about it but it was a hearty rub!

QuietNinjaTardis · 11/05/2013 08:39

I only rubbed it a few times over the month when I remembered but others are doing it every day. Can't hurt! Fingers crossed.

Oooh, so many BFP's Shock How often should I rub the mac screen?Is once a day enough?

Since I started rubbing it, it seems to have made my ovulation a little later than usual, which is a good thing, more time to bank some sperm!I'm now starting the tww...hopefully I'll be a statue rubbing graduate tooSmile

SpecificDreamRabbit · 10/05/2013 21:28

Arf! OK, OK, I admit, I am preggers only by the power of woo Grin

twinklestar2 · 10/05/2013 19:21

No no specificdream 'twas definitely the statues! Congratulations!

Ludicrously, and hilariously, I can announce that I downloaded the photo to my phone a few weeks ago, dutifully rubbed it (feeling like a loon), and I now have my bfp Grin

This was my eighth cycle ttc though, so I think time, rather than woo, worked its magic, to be fair!
