morning sex and the 'Legs up' situation

[bambino]

hi, i was thinkng last night about how i have been told morning sex is the best to have as the amount of sperm is high and the men are usually already up for it b4 they even wake up! hehe, then they say how it is good to keep your legs up f about an hour after. This is all good but if you have morning sex and have to get ready for work, what is to stop the liquid coming out again as thats what happens to me, everytime i stand up after sex it just runs out! sorry if tmi! hehe, any suggestions apart from setting the alarm for about 3am?

you dont need to stay that way for an hour..20 or 30 minutes would do it...are you getting up right after sex? most likely what is coming out of you is not the spermies...maybe some of them, but not all..its mostly the fluid that comes out of the man with the spermies that you see coming out.

You really don't have to have sex in the morning.  The sperm count doesn't rise that much in the morning. It doesn't rise enough to make much, if any, difference at all.  I can't remember how much it is, but it isn't a lot.  If it works for you and is easiest for you there is no reason to have sex in the morning, but you don't have to.  

You do only need to keep your "legs up" for twenty minutes, but this really doesn't really make a difference either.  I still did it because, why not?  But from what I've read the sperm are either going to get where they are going or they aren't.  Also if your cervix (I think I'm remembering right) is a certain way keeping your legs up could make the sperm have trouble finding their way to the proper destination.

But whatever is coming out when you get up or go to the bathroom is normal and is supposed to happen.

It only takes one sperm to fertilise an egg and as far as I'm aware they make a break for it as soon as they are ejaculated. Anything that comes out wasn't in there enough to even compete and I think it's just seminal fluid, not necessarily sperm. I conceived with all five pregnancies (but first was a m/c) without doing any of the old wives' tale methods to aid conception. In fact I usually go to the toilet straight after sex and 'clean myself up' with tissues or toilet paper and it didn't stop me from conceiving. But I think if you feel you might need the extra help then it certainly can't hurt. I just wanted to tell you that legs in the air and morning sex are not a sure-thing as far as conceiving goes. But, go for it and good luck with the conceiving...remember to have fun along the way!!!
