Lifting your bum...


I've been reading alot on here that women who elevated their hips after BDing found it worked to get the pg. OH just laughed at me when I mentioned it but I was curious how many other people did this and successfully got pg? Thx!

I put a pillow under my hips after the BD, and would also have a big O to help the little swimmers on their way. Not sure if it helped or not as I got my BFP the first month.

I never did put a pillow or anything underneath me but I would lay in bed for 15-20 minutes after BDing. Took us three months to get our BFP, which isn't bad at all!

Haven't got a clue about the first time, but the second time, I just laid there for at least 15 minutes after. I've never elevated my hips or laid there with my feet propped against the wall. Saying that though - after 15 months of ttc, maybe I ought to try them!

Hi i do random things like lift my legs up in the air for a bit lol. probably doesnt do anything. I have a tiltled/retroverted uterus (i found this out when i had an ultrasound done a couple of years ago) when i got a smear done the dr's glasses fell off and we started laughin coz she said yeah its definatley tilted! Anyways i read somewhere to be careful how much you tilt your pelvis ie. dont do it to a large degree/angle especially (i think) if you have a retroverted uterus something about the sperm not reaching the correct area or something, like they end up behind where they should be!

i also bd in missionary and from behind as they are supposidly good positions for the sperm to get closest to the cervix! Good luck! Im only on my third month (so i cant tell you if any of this is successful yet). I also bd at night and then try not to go to the toilet until the morning to defy grafity...i didnt realise i did any of this unti i started typing

I've heard this too, but have not tried it. OH has also read/heard of this too. Worth a try I guess

OH you guys are making me laugh...this is funny but it is also refreshing since all I seem to be doing is stressing about never getting pregnant.

Thanks for the laughs and ideas. I think hubby will think I have gone mad if I do this but hey whats new and it is worth a try - hee, hee!!!

I'm loving the cycling thing with legs in the air! Doggy style, pillow under bum and for those who are more nimble than me a headstand are all supposed to help sperm on their way. No getting out to make a brew once you have done, relax for half an hour while he brings tea and biscuits to you!
