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.

Haha love the eggsperiment going on and clearly results prove the credibility! Have had a rub and now very hopeful this is my month. Will find out on may 4th and let you know!

twinklestar2 · 23/04/2013 22:52

OMG sarlatt, many many congratulations!

TwoMs · 29/04/2013 21:53

I rubbed the fertility statues picture on CD1 of this my 21st month TTC and today on CD30 I have my BFP!

Can't quite believe it but did a test this evening so not even FMU Grin

Thank you QuietNinjaTardis Thanks

twinklestar2 · 29/04/2013 22:01

Bloody Nora, congrats TwoMs!

barkingtreefrog · 29/04/2013 23:01

Ok, I'm convinced. I've just been and had a good rub. Does it count if you rub on a smartphone and the photo zooms in and out as you do so?!
Will report back when my bfp arrives, cycle 17 and counting... Wink

PistachioTruffle · 29/04/2013 23:06

Congratulations twoMs and sarlat!

Thundercatsarego · 29/04/2013 23:14

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.

Gave it a little rub Grin

twinklestar2 · 01/05/2013 18:50

It didn't work for me :(

Fairypants · 01/05/2013 19:38

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

Tigglettchic · 01/05/2013 21:27

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!

I touched it and got hub to touch it too. Willing to try anything after all this time.

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.

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.

hopefulgum · 06/05/2013 09:41

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!
