hot cups of tea, hot water bottle, there's a theme here I feel!

If you think about it constantly then it won't come, whereas if you relax, you've more of a chance. Hot things help you to relax as does sex. Yoga is also good apparently.

Not what you want to hear, but I don't know if there's really a lot you can do to bring it on. AFAIK, the variable part of your cycle is before ovulation...

Otter · 04/06/2007 22:26

i am sure of when i ovulated - it was 16 days ago....

Ceolas · 04/06/2007 22:52

I feel pretty mental and am 28+ weeks...

From the ads: get out your rollerblades, snowblades, ice-skates, bungee jumping equipment? You know you are game for it

Otter · 04/06/2007 22:54

Ceolas · 04/06/2007 22:56

Wear white trousers to the funeral. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?!?

Get pissed. I have a theory that this works - does for me anyhow. And if it doesn't, hey, you had a good time.
