Do you reckon being clucky makes you more fertile?!?!

Ha ha I am starting to think so

I fell pregnant with my surprise DD a week or two after my best buddy had her first baby, admittedly we did have unprotected sex but I was at day 28 of my cycle!

Another of my friends fell pregnant around the time I had my DD. And I have heard of several other cases too

Maybe it just coincidence... or maybe when we hold a newborn and get that needy feeling we release hormones that make us extra fertile

Oh my God I hope not....

I'm always clucky.......

Nope. If it did I'd have loads of kids, not just one.

There is however an old wives tale that says that if you hold a newborn baby you will soon be pregnant. It's never worked for me however.

There is a smell that newborns give off that triggers women to ovulate and make them want to BD, there has been scientific studies do on it( I watched a doco on it a few years back )

I think there is something to be said about tempting fate. When we made the decision to start a family we arranged to have the impalon removed which had worked successfully for 9 months, prior I had been on the injection successfully for 12 years. My date for conception when falling pregnant coincides with the day we removed it. Due to bleeding I was scanned at 6 1/2 weeks (btw scan was fine strong heartbeat) only surprising thing was the date I should not have ovulated for another two weeks after removing the impalon. So our family is due to grow sooner than expected.
