Women are swearing by eating hot fries immediately after sex to get pregnant

We're not ones to turn down some good ol' french fries ...

But eating them immediately after sex - like, straight after sex - sounds a tad strange to us.

However, according to a study by ChannelMum, post-sex fries are the latest and greatest sworn-by old wives' tale to help boost fertility.

That's right, women who are trying to conceive believe the high salt content from the chips helps improve their chances of putting a bun in the oven.

ChannelMum says their research revealed 71 per cent of people try some "wacky" methods in a bid to get pregnant.

Here are some of the other methods that aspiring mums have tried:

- Wear socks during sex and for the week after to keep your feet warm
- Eat dark chocolate every day
- Avoid having an orgasm for a week after sex
- Use reverse psychology and tell yourself you don’t want a baby
- Eat pineapples and drink pineapple juice
- Wear green and use green bedsheets
- Pierce your nose on the left side
- Don’t just put your legs in the air but ‘bicycle’ them for at least three minutes
- Sleep in total darkness. Switch off your phones, devices and wifi
- And for the men – wear frozen underwear
