Do you just lay there?

Hooper88 · June 2013

after sex, do you hang out and just lay there for a few minutes or do you get right up and go pee?

I have read in multiple places laying around after sex doesn't make a difference in conceiving, but in my head I just feel like it would help...I usually hang out for about 5-10 minutes before getting up. Anyone as neurotic as me or are you the get up right away type?

We usually lay there for a couple of minutes talking or something. After that, I go straight to the bathroom. Never had a UTI, not trying to get my first now.

I'm the same. I hang out for like 15 mins before I get up to pee. Unless we're doing it somewhere other than the bed, then I immediately go to the bathroom.

Depends on how intense the sex was. Sometimes I feel like I can't stand afterwards. DH is that good. ::winkwink::

I don't intentionally lay there because I think it will help with conception.

I do a bit of both. If I feel like laying down for a little while, I put some pillows under my hips to prop myself up. But I usually can't just sit around that long for anything, and sometimes I subconsciously use my legs to prop myself up as well, and I end up with cramps.

Most of the time, I get up and pee. Or try to. And drink a lot of water so that I do pee.

I envy you. UTIs are the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life.

I usually lay there for a few minutes, soaking in the post coital glow. When I feel like getting up, I do. I have done the hips propped thing before, but it didn't get me knocked up, so now I just get up when I feel like it.

Same here!

I get up and pee right away. Never had a UTI and never want to have one!

Yup, this.

I usually lay there for a few minutes. Maybe I'm weird, but it seems rude to just jump up and pee right after.

My sister has gotten 3 to 4 a year for as long as I can remember. I always felt so bad for her.

LOL! That's so funny! I feel the same way.

Yup, it's a tie between migraines and UTIs but they are both hell on earth.

I've tried the laying there, even as long as all night. It's never given me a BFP. It has, however, given me a UTI on several occasions.

DH is a freaking energizer bunny. Usually, we lay there catching our breath for awhile, snuggling. Sometimes, we fall asleep. I'm not prone to uti's, so I don't jump right up and go. But I do always go to the bathroom when I fo finally get up.

Omg I have a UTI now!!! Woke up yesterday morning with it but very mild. I used to get them all the time years ago so I now know the minute I might have one. On antibiotics that are ok while TTc. Meds usually kick in a few hours after being on them. This is the first UTI I have had in 6 months or more.
I usually lay around for a few mins. Mainly because I am just too lazy to get up but not for log because I usually have to pee!!!! Lol

No way! I'm pretty enthusiastic because I am going through my 2nd UTI (in a 5 year span not back to back) and they SUCK! They say the good sperm is already on its way by the time you get up and go to the bathroom and everything else is just waste.

We usually snuggle for a few minutes, so I lay there until I feel like we're done with our snuggle time. Then I get up and pee. No hip propping for me.
