We are ttc since 3 months and im always confused after, like should I just lie down or is wiping a problem? Matlab does it actually reduce the chance? Pls share what worked for u guys.
See, generally, after intimacy, most doctors advise to lie down for 10-15 minutes, or maybe even half an hour. You can use a soft tissue to wipe any excess or just let it be, it doesn't really affect conception. The important thing is the sperm that reaches the cervix. Don't overthink it, just relax.
My mother-in-law used to say to just lie down quietly for some time after. But honestly, my doctor told me that once the sperm enters, wiping won't change anything much. Just take it easy, dear. Focus on timing and not stressing too much about these small things.
I understand you want to do everything right, especially when trying to conceive. But honestly, wiping or not wiping doesn't really affect conception rates. The key is to track your ovulation and have timely intercourse. Focus on that and discuss with your gynac if you have specific concerns rather than these little details.
Betiyan, just stay positive and take good care of yourself during this time. The main thing is to be relaxed and enjoy the process with your partner. These small actions like wiping won't drastically impact God's plan. Keep faith and keep trying.
Scientifically, the fastest and strongest sperm will reach the egg very quickly after ejaculation, so external wiping doesn't really make a huge difference to your chances of conceiving. Most doctors would advise against overthinking it. It's always best to follow your specific doctor's guidance on these matters.
