myth or fact

I read on some wesite recently that after "trying" to get pregnant you need to put your legs in the air for 20 to 30 min and it will make your chances on conception greater.  Is this a true fact or fiction.  If it works.....I will be willing to try it!
Thanks girls

I would say fact.  My mom did it with me and here I am....and her Dr. told her.  Makes sence to me.

I don't think anybody knows for sure that it works or not. But it's been said that gravity helps the lil' swimmers to get to where they're going. It makes sense to me too!

I think there was an episode of 'Desperate Housewives' were the girl laid in bed w/ her legs up to try to get pregnant.  Kinda funny but hey if it works why not?  Can't hurt right?

I have no clue if it works or not, but I did it last night!  I have tried it a few times, never know if it really works or not.  I don't seem to have problems getting pg, just staying pg....so I don't tend to pay attention to what happens on the cycles I have tried it.  I'll pay attention this time though and keep you posted!  Although, I never seem to be able to make it 20-30 minutes, I lasted 15 last night!

i think it must be true because all of my aunties always tell me ''put your legs up in the air for 20 minutes''. so i am guessing its a fact! & they swear that the best position for ttc is doggie style (sorry tmi). good luck to you!

Not sure if it is fact or fiction but it certainly can't hurt to use gravity to your advantage!!  I did and am 22 weeks today!

it is not proven according to the info i've heard/ seen. it surely cant help though - every little bit helps right! You are meant to just not move or go to the toilet for half hr/ hr after. Considering only a small percentage of sperm actually make it up "there" to do there "thang", i would of thought the more you can keep up there the higher the percentage it would seem? Id try it anyway - I do and it doesn't hurt so may as well!!
Good luck ttc

I just had an IUI and they made me sit with my legs up for 15 minutes.
