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.

We have been trying for 3 cycles, so not long but it feels like an age! This is the first month that I've been temp charting, and I also read Taking Charge of your Fertility which I found really interesting. Although obviously the book and charting have nothing to do with it, it's all down to the statues! Smile

Yes 5 courgette including myself. It's definitely bonkers but if by any slim chance it does work then it can't hurt.

Oh Wow! It's been three long years and three miscarriages and I am ancient, so I am going to rub the pic every day!

RedRobin1 · 05/05/2013 19:50

It worked for me! I rubbed the picture everyday this month and I just got my bfp today after nearly a year of ttc.

gillywillywoo · 02/05/2013 11:35

Hasn't worked for me... It's just given me a really long cycle! Grin

Since coming off the pill in December my cycles were 29, 31 then 30 days.

Currently on day 38!!!!!!! No BFP though.

twinklestar2 · 01/05/2013 22:36

I have touched it and rubbed it (was not sure which was the better bet) will let you all know what happened, however, I have laughed so much I may have lost all hope of PFMs staying intact!!!

Here's hoping!

Fairypants · 01/05/2013 19:38

Ok, gave it a rub! Currently on cd1 so we shall have to wait and see.

twinklestar2 · 01/05/2013 18:50

It didn't work for me :(

MilesFlora · 30/04/2013 10:13

Ok so me bfp after 10 months of trying
Pistachiotruffle 7 months of trying
The person on my antenatal thread who's name I've forgotten baby brain
Sarlat 3 years of trying
TwoMs 21 months of trying

Think that's everyone. I think that's pretty good so far. Anyone who it doesn't work the first time keep trying.
Keeping my fingers crossed for all those still waiting to find out.
