Laying for 20 mins or not...?

[Swanny]

Hiya,

Has anyone got pregnant who hasn't layed still for 20 mins after BDing? Like just getting up straight away everytime?

I think plenty of women do! But i used to get up every time and walk around/go loo etc but this month i made a conscois effort to stay laying down with a cushion under my bum for 30 mins- hour then rolled over and went to sleep, i didnt even go to the loo! haha x

I used to try it i tried everything lol..but on my son and this pregnancy I didnt xx

I normally do that but this month on the OV day I didn't get chance to and it all came gushing out almost straight away.

I still find though even if I do the cushion under bum and then go to sleep when I go for first morning wee it's 'leaked'

I know not all of it is sperm but I can't understand how they know how to swim up there and come separated from the semen? haha

Congrats by the way

So it is possible then?! Did you just get up almost right away and go to loo etc? But still manage to get pregnant both times?

I've got two options for tonight. I think I OV'd late Sat night/Sun morning/afternoon. So technically if the egg lives for 24 hours I could still be in with a chance?

So I can't decide whether to BD when I get in from work (which will be closer to OV time) but then move around etc after it or whether to wait till bedtime and lay still in bed all night but then I will be further away from OV time so it may be too late.

What do you think?

i would bd closer to ov time and lay with legs up for 20 mins. if you dont get your bfp this month (and I hope you do!) you should invest in some softcups. you can lay for 20 mins or so then pop in a softcup and it will keep the spermy up near the cervix so that you can get up and around for a bit before bedtime and then when you lay down there'll still be some spermy there to double your chances! and even so the softcups holding the sperm up there isnt a bad thing to stop the horrible leaky feeling!

 

[Swanny]

Yeah I think I will BD as soon as I get in from work then I will have about 30 mins where I can lay with legs in the air. I'm sure people who get pregnant by mistake don't lay still all night. I've just got this thing in my head where I think it will only happen if spermies are in there all night! lol.

Thanks for the softcups info if I don't fall pregnant this month it's definately something I will look into.

Am I right in thinking that if I got my + OPK on Sat AM then really after tonight there is no point in BDing anymore? Cause doesn't egg only live for up to 24 hours? I had temp rise yesterday and this morning so if it goes up again tomorrow is it too late for anymore BDing?

I don't understand cause I'm sure I read somewhere that you should BD 3 days after + OPK but then I thought once the temps rised that was too late?

i've read that you should bd more around the days before actual ovulation as this means the sperm is there waiting for the egg rather than the egg waiting for the sperm as it doesnt live as long. I think you have up to 36 hours after your +opk to bd so tonight will defo be the best last shot I think!

Good luck hun! (defo check out the softcups though )
