TTC After a Loss

CPW: "ideal" ways to BD- what crazy myths do you follow?

I hate to admit this, but I do follow some of the ridiculous baby making myths during my FW just because if i don't, i wonder if it would have happened if i did... so what silly things do you do? [Poll]

  • I voted that I lay down for 30 minutes after, but I should also disclose that I do that normally and it's more out of laziness than anything. Thankfully, I never get UTIs.

  • I did shoulder stands last cycle one night. Hey, I got a bfp, so something worked. Mostly, I stay laying for like at least 5 minutes or until I have to pee. Unless it's morning nooky, and then I'm already running late...

    This all made me giggle. Only because I can imagine you upside down cheering on the sperm to go where it should!

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

    I don't understand why UTI's are related to sperm injections... they are different holes. 

    Can someone educate me?

    I think it's because all of the thrusting can push bacteria into your urethra (sp?), so you should pee right after sex to get it out....I've had a few UTI's and they suck!

    Absolutely... its different holes but its a very warm and damp area...  bacteria central

  • Coincidence or not, I know for a fact that both times I got pregnant I laid down afterwards and kept my hips up. I didn't do that in any of my other cycles.

  • I'm guilty of finishing in missionary or doggy and then sitting with my feet propped for a good 15 minutes.  Maybe my anatomy is a little tilted, but even with my hips elevated and feet propped I still start to "leak" after about 15-20 minutes.
