Tricks

Sorry to be asking such a stupid question it's kind of embarassing.
I was wondering if there is anything that can be done after BDing to make sure that sperm flows where it should.
I feel stuping asking my RE about that.  My OBG/YN suggested not to stand up for 30 min after BDing.  That makes sense, but is there anything else like keeping hips/legs elevated??

I did some research on line and many articles say that is an old wives tale, bec sperm knows where to go and what to do when they get there :).

Any suggestions?

I've heard that a pillow under your butt will help the sperm to say in.  Honestly though, sperm is going to make it anyway.  Each time I've been pregnant, I never did anything unique after bd'ing.  If your cervical fluid is fertile, those little suckers are swimming right up there. =)

I put 2 pillows under my bum for about 15-30 minutes.

One more concern that I have is that it leaks out within the next 5 min after we done.  I've tried putting a rolled up towel or just laying still, but it leaks out no matter what.  I was told once that it's normal, the fluid will leak out but the sperm will stay there.  I hope it's true.

Also last year we did a post coital test and the doctor same some of them swimming like 4 hours after we BDed

Some will leak out but the strong little fellows will make it to the promised land  LOL

I elevate for 20 minutes or so....Heck, I figure a little "guidance" for the fellows could not hurt!!

You know men. They never stop and ask for directions, so any guidance we can give them can't hurt! LOL!!

They sell pillows to put under your hips on-line...  Not sure about actually buying a product like that -but I've put pillows under my hips/butt and have gotten pregnant twice - also- I tend to stay still for about 20 min or so afterwards.  As soon as I stand up however- I tell my husband he's running down my legs - blech!  I'd say at minimum- stay still for some period of time...  What could it hurt -have your DH stay and cuddle with you!  Mine always keeps me company!

You guys are so funny, and thanks for the tips :).

It's kind of nice to know that I'm not the only with with a 'leakage' issue!!!

I guess being on top is out of the question too.
