We are trying to conceive and I've heard different tips on what to do after intercourse. Is there anything specific one should do or avoid right after sex to increase chances? My friend told me to lie down for a while.
Biologically, sperm reaches the cervix very quickly, so you don't need to do anything extreme. Just lying down flat for 15 minutes is more than enough. No need to wash immediately, let things rest.
Honestly, I tried everything and what worked was just staying in bed for some time without rushing to the washroom. I delivered last month and looking back, those crazy legs-up tips didn't matter as much as just staying calm.
I totally understand how stressful this waiting game can be, dear. Just try to breathe and hold your partner's hand afterwards. Your body is beautiful and doing its best, don't lose hope.
I used to lie down for 15 minutes and then immediately crave late-night snacks, haha! Honestly, just chill in bed and maybe have a comforting warm milk or almonds. Don't make it feel like a chore.
Just hug your husband and relax in bed for some time! No need to run to the bathroom immediately, just enjoy the snuggle time. Wishing you good news very soon! ✨
I can only share what worked for me, but keeping a pillow under my hips for 10 minutes felt helpful. I don't know the medical science behind it, but it gave me peace of mind. Every body is different though.
My mom always told me to just lie down on one side and rest quietly after. It felt very comforting to follow her gentle advice instead of reading too much online. Just rest your body well.
Listen, don't stress too much about doing perfect poses after sex. Just lie down for 10-15 minutes and relax with your partner. Stressing out actually makes conceiving harder, so keep it fun!
I used to just do gentle leg-up-the-wall pose for 10 minutes, but my doc said no heavy exercises or stretching right after. Normal walking next day is totally fine if you feel up to it. Just don't push your body too much.
