TTC for 10 months. After reading countless articles... The question is does elevating your hips or relaxing after sex increases chances of pregnancy? If so how long do you do it for?

Question

pregnancy? If so how long do you do it for?" />

Answer

There isn’t any scientific evidence that suggests that raising your hips after intercourse/ejaculation increases your chance of getting pregnant. Healthy mobile sperm will start making their journey to their destination immediately after ejaculation. Some doctors still do recommend it, however. If you’re going to elevate your hips or bring your legs into the air after intercourse, you shouldn’t do so any longer than a couple of minutes, and ALWAYS make sure to urinate soon after to prevent a UTI.

Answer

No, the fastest and strongest swimmers are up where they need to be within seconds of ejaculation. The semen that you’re keeping up near the cervix contain leftover sperm that never had a chance to begin with. If you want to sit with your hips elevated, that’s up to you, but it doesn’t make a difference in your chances of conceiving. No sexual position or post-sex position increases or decreases your chances as long as he ejaculates inside.
