Optimal semen retention ..?

Question

Hi all! Somewhat of a random question - how long do you ladies that are TTC generally sit/lay after intercourse? Is there any benefit to actually remaining still for a while or raising the hips? Naturally gravity takes place once you get up, which means the semen doesn't stay put, but I'm curious as to any tips/advice you ladies may have?

Answer

The sperm gets to the canal within seconds. Laying down after does not do anything for you as far as TTC.

Answer

I think the whole waiting with your hips up is an old wives tale.

Answer

I'm currently laying with my back end in the air.......I totally believed it would work

Answer

I do it for 20-30 minutes just in case it does work. It can't hurt!

Answer

The sperm gets where it's going super quick, there is no evidence that keeping your legs/hips in the air does anything to help conception.

Answer

It worked with my first baby.... currently trc #2.
