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.

Photo stroked.

I'm a sucker for trying things I read on the internet.

We are ttc, and I read that after dtd you are supposed to put your legs in the air and pretend you are riding a bike.

Tried it for the first time yesterday. DP was lying next to me and a bit surprised (as was I) and the cacophony of unwelcome noises that erupted, some might call it a fanny fart Blush

Happy Easter everybody Grin

Well I've got my fingers crossed for everyone that this works, after all hope and medical scientific science else has failed, a bit of woo has got to work hasn't it?

Ok have stroked the photo, would be a miracle if this worked I'm all for miracles

Schooldidi · 31/03/2013 18:43

We aren't even ttc but I've just stroked the picture too, just to give you a 'control group'. I wonder if the woo works through condoms.

blondebaby111 · 31/03/2013 18:41

Well after 5 years of ttc I deffo wanna be pregnant :)

twinklestar2 · 31/03/2013 18:30

Course I don't mind
I do have to warn you that it does say not to touch the statues if you don't want to become pregnant, though have no idea if the picture instead of the real thing dilutes "the woo" we'll find out eh [bugrin]

Congratulations keep and quiet I understand the taking it one day at a time, but hopefully this is your time. Yes, we have severe male factor so in theory icsi should sort us out, either that or the fertility statues [buwink]
