Question

What's the goofiest thing you've tried in order to get pregnant?

Old wives tales? Superstitions? What silly things have you done to increase your chances? My last pregnancy I used a fertility braclette with stone beads said to increase fertility. When I was ovulating or about dpo I'd set it on my tummy! I did actually get pregnant that month, but hey! Maybe it worked?!?

Last year I was up to 30+ pills a day. I took a lot of vitamins/supplements and they never come in the high doses required, so I was taking 4-5 of each...ugh and bee spit, that was pretty grody lol! Pillow under the butt, feet in air, softcups...thats pretty much all. I almost tried accupuncture but got my BFP beforehand...thats about the extent of my venturing. Im a pill popper lol! =))

Ok so is this like a confession booth? Ahem, blush, cough, well I don't know about superstitious stuff (if I knew any I'd try it) but cycle before last we couldn't get a minute alone together as kiddlies were home on school holidays so in desperation I supervised the kids for 10 mins while my partner made a 'deposit' into a clean cup...and then mummy went for a lie down for 30 mins while my partner watched the kids. Only my 'lie down' included the cup and a syringe, lol! It didn't work! :)

Doing the bicycle motion with your legs in the air and watermelon...not very exciting :)
I did consider buying a fertility frog just for shiggles!

When hubby and I first started actively TTC after NTNP for several years, my little sister gave me a little box of candies called "lucky stars". Even though I knew there was nothing in the entire world that could possibly cause a candy to make me become pregnant, I would have one each time we BDd. It just felt like a little touch of magic, and I needed that after feeling so beaten down.

I was doing acupunture and she told me to take Chinese herbs. Let's just say I was on 19 pills a day that tasted like curry!!! Yukkkk this lasted about a week and I couldn't handle anymore lol. Will never know if it would have worked as gave up lol. I just can't take pills lol it's hard enough the aspirin and vits everyday! :-)
