Trying to Get Pregnant

Staying in bed/Lying down after sex: Is it true?

Re: Staying in bed/Lying down after sex: Is it true?

  • How do you know it doesn't help?

    Because sperm are released during ejaculation with force. They get where they need to go and no amount of laying down will affect that. Also, there's a thread with a RE at the top of the board. We asked this question and he answered.

    Urinating flushes bacteria out of the urethra that get there from friction during sex. Id find you a link for that science but I'm too lazy right now.
  • Is it weird that the only sex talk my mom had with me was to always pee before and after sex so I didn't get a UTI?

    Is it weird that the only sex talk my mom ever had with me was to hold a tic-tac between my knees? 
    Wait, what? Lol
    So I wouldn't get pregnant lol I should mention my mom is super old school. One of her favorite phrases is "why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free". 
    My mom told me to not get pregnant. And then when I got to college told me to make sure I test drive the car before I buy it.

    We got a good kick out of that the other day.

    Hahaha yeah, similarly, when I had the flu at 19, my mom just said "I hope you're not pregnant." That was it.

    No problem! For what it's worth, I snuggle for maybe 5-10 minutes but I still need to pee asap. One UTI scarred me for life.

    You keep in mind that our body temperature is the IDEAL temperature for bacteria to grow. Add into the fact that your lady bits are dark and moist just makes the environment even more suitable for bacterial growth. Some bacteria can double their population size once every 20 minutes in ideal conditions. Think about that the next time you lay in bed for an hour after having sex.
    Okay. Thanks

    My mom told me the same thing in regards to test drive before buying buying the car.

    Which you know I did

  • Funny story ... the other day after BD my hubby said, "now be sure to lie back and put your feet up for a few minutes."

    I laughed at him, thinking he was joking, and he stared at me with his "what? I was serious" look.

    I think I need to get this man on these boards...

    My husband tried to tell me once he read an article that said women shouldn't orgasm in their TWW because it hinders implantation.

    Hmph.

    I would have responded that we would be done trying if he was purposely going to take my orgasms away, lol

    No, it really is exactly what some posters need to hear.  That visual, though...
