Lunar Fertility!

[ovenREADYhotcrossbuns]

Explain how I work it out... in laymen's terms please. Oh and Seaside no confusing 'new moon' with 'full moon' today

I think the idea that the moon you were born under influences your fertility later in life. Say you were born at full moon- your ovulations that occur during a full moon are more likely to result in conception than those that happen during other moons. The moon is on a 28 day cycle, many women's cycles are not, so your ovulation day will shift gradually to not being under a full moon (if that was your birth moon). At the moment for example, I ovulate during a waxing moon: bad for me, because I was born virtually at the peak of a full moon. According to that US navy site, I was born an hour after full moon.

I was born 2 days before a full moon, according to those charts, so it's not looking good for me. Next month, '2 days before the full moon' occurs just before my period is due - so not likely to get pregnant at that stage.

Didn't I read that it just boosts your chances, doesn't mean you won't get pregnant during your normal fertile time??

I find this very intriguing actually.

(hi ready long time no speak)

H
Could one of you post the link here to work out what moon you were born under.... Ta!

Hi rather than H!
Does the link adjust to location - or doesn't it make a difference?

Hi Scorpio - I haven't been on the Easter Eggs thread for ages, it moves too quick for me How are you doing??

Sunshinedays go here and click data services, then phases of the moon then here to see what the moon is doing and when

ready-i am fine getting on with things, as it were. See you spend alot of time on first baby thread now. i hope it happens for you soon.come and peer in april !

you ok?

Thanks READYwithhotbuns
Since I was born 28th May '69 I think this means I was born between first quarter and full moon.
Can I be more accurate than this?

Any of you clued up peeps able to tell me the implications for oving and pg??

Scorpio - I had a couple of days away from MN and I hardly recognised any of the names on the April thread, so I got shy I still peek in, to see if there are any promising symptoms, and of course from next week - some BFPs!! Won't be mine I am afraid, strong feelings that Cycle 8 will arrive on time on Sunday! How are you doing? How's the studying?

sunshinedays - Readywithhotbuns huh? oo-er Seaside was explaining this to me really late last night, and I was hoping she'd be about today to explain it again, hence this email... but I think I am getting to know what it's all about. I looked up your birthdate and you were born 3 days before a full moon, so apparently when you ovulate 3 days before a full moon, it is meant to be doubly fertile! Also, I think they said it was possible to have 2 fertile times, ovulation and then under your moon... but since my moon day (not sure what to call it ) this month falls on 12 DPO of a 12 day Luteal Phase, I can't see how I would be fertile at that point Gawd... I really have waffled, and have probably got it all wrong.

I'm here Ready!! I think I have managed to confues the issue more than help!! Here is quite balanced explanantion of the the concept of lunar fertility I think!?

YAY!!! There you are How are you?? Don't worry, you haven't confused the issue at all... did I explain it ok to Sunshinedays??

Hey Ready - this womans website says that you can get pg the day before your af??? - as I say we are desperate and may believe anything (but I am not so desperate that I'm going to pay her for a special chart!! Well not yet anyway )

Great links Seaside, thank you - Well I am game, on Saturday, on my moon day, 12dpo - we shall see what occurs

LOL Ready - do we have to start a whole new charting thread for lunar cycles?!!!! Soon we will be so busy charting we will have no time for bding !!

I am trying to work out when 2 days before the new moon is for the next 6 months, and because I don't OV on the same day each month (rude!) I am projecting roughly when I will OV and where the moon is - DH will think I have gone mad!
I blame you.

OK - as I have no pg of my own to work out (sniff ) I have just looked at my bf's data as I know the conception date and her bday and it is pretty spot on for her - she was born under a full moon and conceived 2 days before full moon.

However now I am really gutted about my own cycle as my 2 phases are sooo out of sync

anymore suggestions about how to rejig ov?!!

I blame me too!

Ready - Now you are doing it - Full moon Ready (PMSL am imagining jaffa cake advert lady "Fuooool Mooooon"!!)

You are 2 days before Full moon and I am 2 days before new moon!

I cant work it out - my head is hurting!! I may need to do an excel spreadsheet

PMSL - I have tears rolling down my face!! I was winding you up about getting full moon and new moon confused... it's very easy to do!! PMSL at "full moooon" "half moon" "total eclipse" -

So we are!! Both 2 days before our Moons I was thinking of an excel spreadsheet too! Is that a tad geeky??

I have just looked back at my cycles last year and our first three really enthusiastic attempts at TTC were perfectly timed for moon and ov - FFS - I should have a baby by now!! - Im going to go of for a cry!!!!!

Oh no. Don't cry!! Like I said, maybe there was some other reason for not conceiving at that time - maybe fate had a hand in it! Don't beat yourself up about it!! Just keep trying, sweets!! Look to the coming moons, not those gone by!!!

And even Jan and Feb this year were pretty good (wailing emoticon!!!!!!)

In fact it is only in April that it all goes pear shaped- I give up!!! onto the next hairbrained scheme

PMSL at the jaffa cake comment! I want to understand this - need some time to figure it out!

I think the key is to have sex every other day for the entire cycle!

key to an early grave?!
