Is laying down after DTD crucial?

[socitycourty]

Sometimes when we are DTD during the fertile window I can only lay down or elevate my hips for about 10-15 minutes because we are doing it during the day.....sorry for the TMI!

Will this really affect my chances of conceiving?

Honestly I do not think so. That is about as long as I do it for as well. If it is during your fertile window all the good strong sperm will go to where it needs to be. The rest of the sperm that does not go up, and comes out after using the restroom are all the not so strong sperm. I think your ok.

My doctor says no. But from experience I say lay as long as you can. 10-15 minutes is better than nothing. When ttc my DS my doc said to get up and pee after dtd to help prevent uti. The month I conceived him I fell asleep after dtd because of exhaustion. It was a good thing!! (it took almost two years for me to conceive him)

Wow! Most of the time I do elevate my legs if it's afternoon or go straight to sleep if it's night time....I just want to do everything the best I can to get that BFP!
THanks!!!!!!!!

I think everybody has their own thing they do. I don't think you absolutely have to lay flat for over a minute or two. Once its shot out of the cannon, so to speak, it usually gets to where it needs to very quickly.

I don't think so because lots of people who have babies do not do this at all. This is because sperm ejaculated inside of a woman right away goes into what is called the 'seminal pool', located right below the cervix. Nothing can get this out of you. Not jumping up and down, douching, urinating etc. You can look at pictures of the cervix and see a seminal ppol after sex on a site called beautiful cervix. I would find it for you, but I can't look again. Its disturbong to me even though it is natural. With all that being said, I think laying down does increase your chances, but its definately not needed.

EDIT: Ok I still had the link to the site I was talking about up *shudder* so here it is: https://www.beautifulcervix.com/cervix-photo-galleries/photos-of-cervix/pre-and-post-coitus/

When a guy ejaculates it seriously like pumps out and goes quite far! Don't worry, those spermies will hit your cervix!
