We are trying this month and I keep hearing things like lie down, legs up, dont wash immediately. I dont know what is actually useful and what is just old talk. What did you follow?
Oh my god, I have this exact question every month! I've heard so many different things - lie down, raise your legs, don't pee immediately. It's all so confusing. I just try to relax afterward and hope for the best. What have others found works or doesn't make a difference?
While it's common advice to lie down for a short period after intercourse, medically, the emphasis is more on timing it correctly with ovulation. Don't stress too much about specific positions or actions immediately after. If you've been trying for a while without success, it's best to consult a fertility specialist or your gynac. They can guide you based on your health history.
After intercourse, the main thing is to, well, *chill*! Seriously, most studies say that staying horizontal for 10-15 minutes is fine, but gravity isn't really a huge factor once the sperm are in. Don't try standing on your head or anything, just relax and let nature do its thing!
I totally understand this hopeful question, it's such a tender time when you're trying to conceive. While many suggest lying down for a bit, the most important thing is to time intercourse around your ovulation period. Beyond that, just embrace the journey with love and positivity. Sending you all the good vibes.
After intercourse, it's generally recommended to lie down for about 10-15 minutes, some say with a pillow under your hips, but really, no need to do anything extreme. Just relax and don't stress too much. The main thing is to time intercourse around ovulation. Focus on being calm and positive.
I used to do all sorts of acrobatics after trying to conceive, thinking it would help! But honestly, my doctor later told me it doesn't make a significant difference. The most important thing is timing intercourse during your fertile window. Just relax and enjoy the process, don't overthink it like I did.
