How long should semen stay in??

Question

How long should semen stay in after sex when TTC? I used to just push seamen out after sex, now I wonder if leaving semen in for 10 min or so will increase chances of pregnancy. Please let me know your thoughts!

Answer

It shouldnt. Keeping it in does nothing to improve your chanves of conception, the sperm is already where it needs to be before he pulls out. The only thing keeping the semen in does is increase your chances of a uti or vaginal infection.

Answer

15-30 mins legs raised is best

Answer

You should always pee right after sex to prevent infections.  Sperm begins its journey as soon as its ejaculated,  as it only takes seconds to get into the cervix.

Answer

It took me 6 months to conceive. The time I finally got pregnant was when stayed laying down and did not get up. Went right to sleep. That was the only time we had sex during ovulation. I usually get up within 30 min cause I get UTIs easily but decided to give it a try and see what happens. And it worked😀 I also used opk and I was at my highest peak.
