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.

Thanks Grin Yup, I'm holding your fertility statues entirely responsible Wink

For the purposes of research, I'm 24 and have been ttc for 7 months.

I've sent the April bus ladies over here for a rub!

twinklestar2 · 08/04/2013 21:51

Congrats! Me next please!!

RedRobin1 · 08/04/2013 21:51

I have touched and stroked. On cycle 12 - willing to try anything.

ScarlettInSpace · 09/04/2013 07:52

I can't believe I just stroked a picture of a wooden willy Grin

Ah well at 36 years old, 27 cycles, 2 failed IVF attempts, 1 tube & eggs and ovaries that think they are 10 years older than me and never so much as a sniff of a BFP then why not...

RubySlippers77 · 09/04/2013 21:56

I'll give it a go - why not! I'm 36 at the end of this month so anything that helps things along is more than welcome..... Good luck to everyone Grin

QuietNinjaTardis · 11/04/2013 16:24

Photo stroked but just wanted to ask is there in any particular time of day or cycle day when the photo is particularly potent? also if DH rubs it too does that double our chances? Smile

twentythirteen · 12/04/2013 16:06

Congratulations Pistachio! Clear evidence that this works!

Nothing yet from me, loads of bfn's and af due any time. I think my technique might have not been up to scratch so will be glad to hear details of whether you employed and up/down, down/up or side to side stroke, etc. Wink!

QuietNinjaTardis · 12/04/2013 16:10

Solars not As far as I know but a good idea to get dh to rub them too.
Twenty I just rubbed the boobs, and private ahem areas and the baby.

twentythirteen · 12/04/2013 17:14

Ok Ninja, just rubbed again to make sure I covered the right areas, I think I might have just done ears and feet before... (kidding!)

nobeer · 12/04/2013 17:27

I've done it too. Feel slightly silly optimistic! :-) Thanks for sharing the positive vibes.

FortyFacedFuckers · 12/04/2013 17:51

Oh just seen this thread I have been TTC for 4 years this month so will definitely be giving it a try. Grin Will report back

Bearface · 12/04/2013 17:55

I stroked! Grin

twinklestar2 · 12/04/2013 23:38

I rubbed the baby and the private areas and her boobs.

QuietNinjaTardis · 13/04/2013 08:38

QuietNinjaTardis · 15/04/2013 10:12
