Does raising your legs after sex really help?

Question

At the beginning of this year we got pregnant after coming off the pill in a month whilst on holiday. Super quick!!!! Sadly miscarried at 11 weeks. Since April we have been trying religiously, with no luck. Periods are regular and I have obvious signs of ovulation each month. Just trying to find what we are doing wrong. Help! Sending lots of positive energy to all those TTC 😘

Answer

Oh I wish! Sperm get to where they need to go within seconds though. The ones that aren’t fit for that are expelled when you per after BD....make sure you pee after BDing- definitely don’t want to get a UTI. ￼ I know it’s easier said than done, but try to just relax and have sex mostly everyday. It’s great that you’re regular. It can take up to a year to conceive once you start trying. I was in a similar situation and took Geritol for two months straight. By the end of the second month I was pregnant. My iron levels are on the lower end of normal, and the Geritol helped out with that, which can help with conceiving.￼ So just relax and try to “stop” trying! Good luck!

Answer

No makes no difference at all

Answer

It only took us two months/cycles to get pregnant with our second. On the second month I put my legs up once, maybe twice...and I ended up pregnant. I obviously don’t know if that’s what did the trick..but I know it didn’t hurt our chances 🤷‍♀️ Good luck ❤️🤞

I'm so sorry for your loss! 2 years ago when we were having troubles conceiving my Dr gave me a few pointers along with taking clomid because I wasn't ovulating at all. Some of the pointers were to pee before sex, not after because you may be pushing out his sperm and besides risking a UTI is not too bad since getting a UTI in early pregnancy is common. Also he told us to have sex only once every day until 4 days before ovulation day then have sex once a day during those 4 days and ovulation day. He also recommended that my hubby not masturbate on his own on the the days we were having sex so that he can have a good amount of strong sperm. The last thing we did that I just decided to do on my own without my drs recommendation was I inserted a softcup immediately after he pulled out during my fertile days and wore it for 5-8 hours lol. We ended up pregnant the first time trying all all the things I've listed above. I know sounds crazy but I was desperate after years of trying lol.
