Getting up after bd'ing

Angelica · Nov 13th, 2007, 12:17 PM

To help improve chances of concieving I dont get up out of bed for around 30mins and basically try to lay still... this means I have to ask the DH to pass me things like nightwear, tissue etc....

Now he thinks I am being a real drama queen and that there is no good reason why I couldnt just roll onto my side & reach for these things myself...

Is there? Am i being a bit melodramatic?

people have told me to do that, but to be honest i dont.

Look at people who have one night stands and get preg,im sure they didnt sit with there legs up after. It may very well increase changes but i personally dont do it

I have to admit that although I have tried laying in bed after BDing I don't usually last long before getting bored.

I do stress out still in the 2ww.

That would have to be confirmed by the doctor. The lay still after is advised more for people with fertility issues. I read somewhere that if there is leakage after you get up that it means the OH has more than enough sperm.
