dh reckons i have completely lost touch with reality!!

i have just bought some fertility stones off ebay!!

apparently you put them in your bath,then under your pillow and carry them around with you!

i am soooo desperate for another baby,im willing to try anything!!(along with all the extra boinking!!!)

Anecdotally, the thing that seems to work most often is to give up 'trying', go on holiday with DH, get outrageously drunk, stay up late, go dancing and eat whatever you like...

(Booking a further expensive, adrenaline-packed, unrefundable holiday - skiing, diving, potholing - for sometime in the following year is optional...)

I don't think this would be classed as ridiculous, buty when I was hoping for a successful preg after miscarriages I took,
Pure royal jelly paste, it's supposed to impove health and fertlity
Maca powder for the same reasons
Spirulina
I also went to reki healing sessions to help improve overall health but paricularly womb health
I don't know if any of thesemade the difference, but i think if you feel relaxed and strong emotionally and feel that you do are actively doing something to help your chances of conceiving then it will help you conceive.

A friend of mine swears that accupuncture helped her.

I am now expecting no. 6 btw

buffythenappyslayer · 27/11/2006 14:43

Thinking of visiting the Fertility Statue in Blackpool in the new year if not preggers by then! A couple of good stories on here have tempted me to it!

buffythenappyslayer · 27/11/2006 15:36

having sex after the red bull and voddy £9.99/pitcher special down our local.

it worked.

MrsMcJnr · 27/11/2006 15:42

Ah Buffythenappyslayer love the name! If you are trying for no 6, your nappy slaying powers are not up to much are they? Well, all I can say is if the stones make you feel more positive then they are a good thing special powers or not! My reiki practitioner told me that the great thing about reiki is that it works even if you don't believe it will!

MrsBadger could perhaps persuade DH to go on holiday.....!

Mellowma - after reading on here so many times about the legs in the air trick, I did air bicycle after each BD this cycle I think it feels so odd because it is really the only thing that my DH can see me doing to improve our chances and I just get shy

Kittyschristmascrackers - love that name too! not sure Buffy will like her new name "Buty" though - . I have been taking royal jelly for 2 cycles now, I think it does make me feel generally better. I am also taking a shot of wheatgrass a day which has green tea extract and spirulina in it, the wheatgrass is meant to help keep your body alakline which is apparently what it needs to get pregnant. I also had a reki session last weekend, I don't know if it helped but it was very relaxing, a thing that I am not good at!

And as Ready said, a few of us on the December thread are planning a pilgimmage for the new year to the statue in Blackpool!

Rummum · 27/11/2006 15:52

I slept with a pillow under my hips... (after we'd done the business).. to stop stuff leeking out! .. it worked, every time..

kittyschristmascrackers · 27/11/2006 15:53

msmcjnr apparantly it has to be the royal jelly paste not the capsules and the maca is really great at strengthening the endocrine system.

Ready · 27/11/2006 16:13

This is the Statue, Beccarolloveragain and Nixz both conceived after a visit! Fertility Statue Blackpool

Oh, and I do the bicycle thingy, but to save feeling like a dweeb, DH does it too. We have a good giggle too!!

PS. Yes we are both mentalists!!

Went on a girl's weekend in London, drank copious amounts of red wine and spent £150 on clothes that would not fit or suit a pregnant or breastfeeding woman. Worked a treat.

MrsMcJnr · 27/11/2006 17:19

Thank you KittysCC - I'll bear that in mind.

Ready - pmsl at you and your DH! Chooster tipped me off that she does her air bicycle in the bathroom so DH can't see - I quickly took that up!

Bodkin - I do remember you big weekend in London!

twelvedaysofchristmas · 27/11/2006 17:42

Had sex with DH...

Ready · 27/11/2006 19:47

TwelvedaysofChristmas - LOL @ your post!!

Bodkin - Oh yeah, I remember your girly weekend. I am seriously considering getting trollied, and considering I haven't had alcohol in a loo-oong time it wouldn't take many glasses of Chenin Blanc!!

MrsMcJnr - I am too lazy to get up and go to the bathroom afterwards, and don't want to lose any on the way ... DH doesn't look anywhere near as daft as me doing it, but then he isn't curvy like I am

belgianmama · 27/11/2006 20:34

Did the legs up in the air trick too. Don't think that's why I caught too. Basically I just did that strange thing that Twelvedays did: have sex with my DH.
