Interesting thing to follow, can i ask whats in the bath thing? is it just water, or something added to the bath?

miel

i wanted to ask also but arcanegirl beat me to it!
anyway i am wishing you the best and all your wrote is very interesting and i have to say i found it also kind of romantic if i can say that

Haha..LOL...yes, it's just water in the bath. Actually, it specifically must contain water from a natural source (lake, rain, etc.)
And yes, it's a very 'romantic' thing, but it's also very tough, which is why DH and I didn't stick to it as well as we should have. In fact, the main issue for me was that I always found that I was in the mood to BD 3-4 days before I was due to go to the ritual bath, but as soon as the day came, I was no longer in the mood. It was really not working for me at all. I'm hoping that now that we've been married longer and our relationship has evolved, it'll be easier for me. So far, I'm doing great. I'm in the mood to BD, and I don't think it'll go away within the next few days.

yeah...it sound like your mind is set up for it...may be i will include a romantic ritual in my next cycle
i have to say Capital chick for me all the thread your posted are the best ...you sound like a very interesting person ...i always like to re question myself on different topic and you do that...it's very inspirating

I've never heard of that. I learned something new, yaye! Thanks for sharing.

Would scottish water from the tap count

CapitalChick

LOL...I dunno...For TTC purposes, I think that the number of days you count, rather than the immersion in the bath, is important. Since I'm an observant Jew, though, they both matter for me.

Thanks for sharing - that was so interesting to read about - I hope it works for you!

I love learning new things about different cultures and religions and find them fascinating. The only thing I can think of about this religious ritual is that it could pose a problem if you are one of those who ovulate early. It sounds like you are not (thankfully), but I ovulated on CD9 last month, so it would have caused me concern.

Just a thought, certainly not a criticism in any shape, way or form.

I wish you luck and admire you both for reverting back to your promise. It's refreshing in this day and age to see/hear someone share these personal views.

As for me, I'm a Catholic and have chosen to say two Novenas (9 days of special prayers) to ask for the blessing of a baby. It's a great comfort to feel you are doing everything you can to enhance your chances.

Let's hope we are both blessed.
