After sex I keep wondering if I should lie down, wash, or do anything special. We are newly trying and I feel clueless about small things. What do couples usually do when trying for baby?
Because of my PCOS my cycles were irregular so finding ovulation was tricky. A doctor helped me track it properly. If you're trying a while with no luck, getting checked early really helps, dont wait too long.
My doctor said the main thing is intercourse during the fertile window, around ovulation. Lying down for a bit after doesnt hurt but isnt magic. If it doesnt happen in a few months of trying, then go consult.
What helped me was tracking my fertile days, the few days around ovulation are the best chance. There's no special thing to do right after, just relax. An ovulation kit made it easier to time.
Timing matters more than anything after. Know your fertile window, that's mid cycle roughly. I didnt do any tricks like lying upside down, that stuff isnt needed honestly.
I was wondering the same thing recently. People told me to rest a bit after, but i read the timing of the fertile days matters most. We're tracking my cycle now, fingers crossed.
