Does holding sperm in increase chance of pregnancy?
We are ttc since few months and someone told me to lie down and hold it in for some time after. Matlab does that actually help conceive faster or just a myth? Pls share ur experience.
Haha, I remember hearing so many myths when we were trying! No, scientifically, holding sperm in after intercourse doesn't increase your chances. What matters is timing with ovulation, not how long the sperm stays inside.
Not really, actually. My doc said it's all about the sperm reaching the egg, and that happens pretty fast. So, no need to stress about 'holding it in.' Just focus on the fertile window and enjoy the process!
No, that's not how it works. Sperm reach the cervix and uterus quite quickly after ejaculation. The main thing is timing intercourse around ovulation and ensuring overall good health for both partners. If you have PCOS like me, focus on ovulation tracking.
Hmm, no, I don't think that's true. The body works in its own way for conception. My doctor focused more on tracking ovulation and general wellness. Don't worry too much about myths like this.
No, this is a common misconception, dear. The sperm that are meant to fertilize the egg will make their way up quickly. Holding it in doesn't really have any impact on the chances of conception. Focus on timing and overall health instead.
Oh, I totally overthought this too! But my gynac explained that it really doesn't make a difference. The important thing is healthy sperm reaching the egg during your fertile window. Don't add unnecessary stress by thinking about such things.
