Old Wives Tales to help you conceive?

[Gemma]

I put a pillow under my hips for about 20 minutes after BD. Don't know if it helped or not, pregnant at 1st real attempt so it may have. I have heard that if you put your legs in the air it may be too much of an angle.

i dont think its a wives tale, but the 'doctrine of signatures' says that Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix thereby improving chances of conception and healthy pregnancies.

the theory is basically that whatever body part the fruit or vegetable appears to look like, is the area of body that its properties will benefit. Dont ask me if its true... apparently the ancients used this method when it came to their natural medicines and remedies because they believed that God provided mankind with clues as to which foods provide health benefits for the different body parts, the clue was in the shape of the food itself...and today a lot of herbalists follow the same principle.
