Laying Down After BD

M

I’ve seen a few posts on here about people questioning whether laying down with your hips up after BD actually helps or not and I just wanted to share a piece from an article I just read on Parents.com!

“No one knows why, but there's a lot of anecdotal and scientific information to support the fact that after intercourse, it helps to remain lying flat in bed, hips elevated, for about 20 to 30 minutes. In other words, after getting busy, Dr. Curtis advises, "don't jump up and certainly don't run to the bathroom or douche!" That one change alone, he says, could solve up to 80 percent of fertility problems. So, as much as you might want to do a happy dance after you think you just made a baby, refrain -- for a little bit, at least.”

I myself thought that the sperm got to where they needed to be within seconds and didn’t need “help” from laying down but apparently there is scientific proof that it actually helps!

I’m supposed to ovulate on Mother’s Day (🤞🏼 that has to be a sign right?!) so I’m trying this the next few days!!
