  • hello all

    theres always been old wives tales on how to increase your chances of getting pregnant...or maybe not old wives tales but ways people have tried that have helped or they hope help.

    so last night after the baby dance i did the old cushion under the bum trick...anyone else tried anything...no matter how silly it might seem?

    baby dust for one and all x

    It is not an old wives tale i have been advised by mr dr to do this as i have a tilted womb so if i were to just roll over and sleep after bd as soon as i stood up i would get a rush of OH swimmers where as using the pillow meathid means more is taken further into my system to help speed matters up.

    News from me - Looks like af has finally turned up, noticed over past few days that face was looking naff, the light bleeding i had last night was alot more this morning and i have the lower back ache that goes with normal AF so going to monitor how long this lasts and if anything out the ordinary back to gp for referal for scan other wise i shall be back bding from day 10 and seeing what trouble that gets me in:o

    Lolly my gp also recommends to help the baby making matters run smoothly your OH MUST go down stairs and make you a cuppa straight after while you are resting your bum on pillow - its supposed to keep you in a relaxed frame of mind which is essential but it means you get a reward for being used as an incubator haha - dont know how scientific it is but it works wonders on getting extra cups of tea outta my hubby :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Quaver i cant wait to get back to ttc, its been 3 long antagonising weeks now.:eek:

  • well its only officially been recent but i havent been using any contraception for a year since my son was 4 months....i have very irregular periods...dont know whether i'm coming or going and the docs thinks i could have PCOS but just waiting for the results of blood tests...i had the scan he said it looked ok buty apparently that doesnt always mean anything!

    i know it isnt long and my baby is only little but i think in my head im getting myself ready for what could be a struggle...im overweight which seems to be a contributing factor :(
