Crete is right, I heard that if you stand on your head for ten minuits, straight after the deed, you increase the chances. (or, if you remain standing on your head, whatever)

no jokes my friend told me someone got pregnant like that.

Fill your boots, I would try standing on my head first, then try hockus pockus like Red said, but if you must, try your friends method, just hold your nose.

Ive heard of a fertility spell!!!

When its a full moon crack an egg in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and surround with green leaves, preferably ivy as this is supposed to be a sign of fertility. Take outside and say the following chant ' I will have a baby, the goddess of fertility will bless me soon before the waning of the moon'
Then leave it outside overnight!!

I havent tried it but know many people that have and it worked for them!! Good luck...just dont let the neighbours see as they may think youve lost the plot :-)

when i was at school the thing the kids all said was if it didnt last 15 mins you wouldnt get pregnant. hmmm most of my friends got pregnant ........... guess that is a bit of a bad wives tale

I was told to take folic acid (tablet form) 3 months before thinking of conceiving it is meant to help in conceiving and developement. The other thing is for your partner not have any sexual relief for 3 days before you ovulate and boxers are better for him than tight undies cos heat is not a good thing for the little guys. And yes the bit about lying on your back for a good 30 mins afterwards. You can put a pillow under your nether regions to elevate the area slightly.

You need to put a lump of sugar outside the window (for the stork).
My mother used to do this as a little child in hope for a brother or a sister.
Then one day, she angrily stormed into the shop and screamed: We won't be buying your sugar any more!

She always stayed a single child!
