oh yeah def. its not like they are all gone!! sperm is crazy it could live through a tornado almost LOL..
Eggs are what suck they only live for 12- 24 hours. sperm can live and make it for days!!!

yeah I've heard the not peeing thing, because the muscles you use to urinated contract in our vaginal canal and its like pushing all the sperm downwards, adn makes it a hard climb uphill..
out of 300million sperm my ob book says that only 250 of them ever make it to your Ftubes where the egg is. they either get lost, killed by vaginal acid, go down the wrong tube or they were not deposited close enough to the cervical opening.
at least try to lay in bed for 25 min after sex then go pee. the seminal fluids paralyze the sperm for at least 15 min once ejaculated ( this is to protect them from the vaginal acid( which kills them) and lets them morph so they can swim)

Well I tried mission style one day and the behind me style the next so lets hope one them works. and kept the hips elevated for an hour.
Uhm i've not be "preventing it" for 6 months.  Really trying, paying attention to my body the last 2 cycles. SO not very long, but long enough. I'm just getting more determend. but thanks for all the tips you guys!!!

Well what worked for me after 14 months was man behind and then afterwards slide a pillow under your thighs, you are still facing down and I was told to wait at least an hour....myth or not, I am 6 weeks preggo!!!

Unfortunately, it's all myths.  Sperm was made to swim up you, so elevating your legs, etc, really won't help.  The only advice I've actually heard from a doctor is to have sex in a position where the semen won't slide out of you immediately, therefore the woman on top position probably isn't the best.

I had advert sex "a quick 3 minute fumble during the break," bathed before bed an hour later, whilst on the pill and STILL fell pregnant.

Dont think there is any set way, these things either happen or they dont! Just enjoy it :)

I don't know if that method works, but I got pregnant both times while he was behind be. I have heard that about not going to pee for a little while afterwards.  I also heard your chances improved when you both climax.

LOL no idea i was told that it can help sperm travel or something i cant remember exactly what i was told but i only do it for around 2-3 mins as i dont think its attractive holding your legs up in the air whilst laying in bed with your partner!!!!

Make sure that you used the missonary position, do not pee for at least 2 hours after sex and raise your legs up in the air after sex. These are all the things that i got told!!!
