I'm Currently Feeling:  | Somethings been bothering me.....
Hiya
Hope you ladies can help shed some light on something.
Since hubby and I have become more 'serious' on ttc, it has come to my attention that after we have Bd I have to go to the toilet as it feels as though the little spermies have back tracked and start swimming out again ( must be too dark for  ) I have tried lying with pillows and with my legs up but it still happens, just wondered if anyone else has had that?
I'm expecting the  any day now, so once I start ovulating again I will be trying pre-seed, do you think that will help, or do you think the little things will still head into the light!!!? | | | | Status: Offline

| Hi there, I wondered about this too so you're not alone.
However, the sperm (that are transported in the semen) will make their way (hopefully) in through your cervical opening and wait for the release of an egg to fertilize. What comes back out of your body is mostly semen (I would imagine there are still sperm too, but millions of them will have attempted to swim the other way. You won't loose it all if your cervical opening is "open for business". |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | When a man ejaculates, hundreds of thousands of sperm are in that small amount of semen. They have to make their way through the cervix (which can kill off a lot of them if you are not at the right time of the month when the 'environment' is more acidic), which if you have EWCM (optimum conditions for sperm) a great number will make it through.
Now, I have read that only about 200 make their way up the correct fallopian tube. But that is still a lot of sperm and only one needs to fertilise the egg.
So, I wouldn't worry about sperm coming out - after the initial momentum of ejaculation, the ones going through the cervix would probably have made it already and the ones that come out would probably have done so anyway.
If you are concerned, keep doing the pillow under the bum thing.
Good luck! | | | | Status: Offline
