What's best to do after BD'ing?

[Jess125]

Hey everyone,

I've been wondering something... When TTC should you lay down for a while after BD'ing or is it OK to get up and do whatever you normally do? Right now I usually lay down for about 10-20 minutes and then get up unless I'm going to sleep right after. I always wonder if I'd have a better chance getting a if I lay down longer to give the a better chance? Would like to hear everyone's opinions about it!

i've heard diff things.. some saying it makes no difference to get up, and other's saying lay down a half hour with legs in the air! i doubt it makes a huge diff, but i try to lay down for 5-10 minutes. i've always heard if you have a tilted uterus to lay on your stomach. i always make sure to use the bathroom after bd though, bc you don't wanna get an infection. GL!

Me personally, I stay laying down for at least 30 mins and I put 2 pillows under me to lift me up...I've read it's suppose to help the sperm "swim" better because of gravity...lol who knows!!! After the 30 min, I too use the bathroom to avoid any infection.

ive heard that laying down is a myth and doesnt even make a difference, when your DH/OH reaches climax the come out at over 25mph!!!! and get where they need to be before he even pulls out!!!

Wow, so many different thoughts about it lol. I guess I'll just continue doing what I'm doing!

I also always lay down for 15-25 minutes after...if you have the time why not help keep it from leaking out, if not they say that it doesn't really matter anyways...I just like to think I'm helping the process GL!!!

I always lay down for at least 10 minutes with one pillow. I heard being too elevated can cause the sperm to be stuck under the cervix!

Hi all, I heard that it is a good idea to put two cushions under your bum and also to put your legs against the headboard. I've done it a few times with no success but have two cousins who it has worked for.

One of them also suggested putting your OH bits in cold water first too so that you stimulate the

Not sure whether this would work for us - I haven't mustered up the courage to ask OH yet.

Apparently if you orgasm after DH it's supposed to help the sperm on their way!

Thanks for asking Jess I've been kinda curious myself as to what people are doing! This is or first month & most days I wasn't able to lay down & relax due to our opposite schedules....so we'll see! Kudos to those who can have the big O during sex...I have to work on it after!! ...I don't know if it much matters though if the O is a few minutes after the erection. I must say, though, I had my second big O during just yesturday ! Super exciting !!! TMI? Probably! Oh well.
