How long should I keep the ejaculation in if trying to get pregnant?

[Wanting]

My husband and I just tarted trying to get pregnant last month.  Just before my most fertile days began I got the flu.  Needless to say we couldn't try for a few days.  We had a few days to try again after I got well enough and then my hubby got the flu a few days later.  Argh!  We still had approx. 5days of fertile days left and so of course we did the best we could. Wink! Wink!  

My question is.... how long should I be keeping the ejaculation in my body after he has finished?  I don't want to 'empty' out too early because I am afraid that it won't give the sperm enough time to 'co-mingle' with my eggs.  

I took a HPT this morning and it came out negative so we will try again for a baby after I am finished my period.  (I should be starting in 3 days).  

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Sorry the pee part was more directed at others who seemed to think it did. Let us know what happens! God bless!

I'm pretty sure michelle was taking the p**s.
I'm from britain and brill is a comon comment.
Don't worry about the pee comment, it's true some people don't know.

eeew..but even when my bf pulls out afterward, some seems to come out right away. I propped on pillows today, felt so funny! I'm counting on the sperm making it up there mostly on it's own. I often have to pee right after sex,too- I wonder why it's so common?!

The good news is that when you experience "leakage" it is just the leftover "media" in which it travels. By the time it comes out (even if you get up within a few minutes) the little swimmers are already on their way. There is more than enough that stays up there that you are safe.

I have been pg 6 times and not once have I stayed in bed with my legs up for 20 minutes : )

Good luck!
