From the site:
The following methods will not, and we repeat, will not help you get pregnant.
Taking Robitussin® cough syrup before trying to conceive.
Taking the herb Wild Yam.
Not urinating after sex.
Lying with your feet over your head after sex.
Standing on your head after sex.
Making love during the day with the lights on.
Having sex every day instead of every other day.
Sitting in the same chair a pregnant woman has sat in.
Staring into the eyes of a pregnant woman.
Putting ice packs on your partner?s testicles. (Ouch!)
And most of all, remember that trying to make a baby is one of the most wonderful activities that two people can share. It?s a true sign of your love and commitment to one another and creates a special bond that will last a lifetime. Don?t view sex while trying to conceive as a chore or another thing on your to-do list. Have fun, stay positive and try not to worry about it so much. Good luck!
