New 2nd Time TTCer - with total TMI question about DTD during TTC
Hi All! I'm jumping on the TTC bandwagon for the 2nd time...currently have an 18 m/o DD.
Clearly I'm out of practice but now that we've started actively TTC I'm forgetting some of more *ahem* physical techniques.
Can you share with me your tips and tricks? Are we supposed to stay horizontal for a while after? How long? Is showering a few minutes after a no-no? Any special positions? 
I'm embarrassed typing this but I know you ladies have all the answers.
TIA!!

Whatever worked for u the first time...do that again!
Everyone has their own way of doing it...I have heard a lot that use the OPK's and  2 days before and three days after.... to you!

i prob wouldn't shower a few minutes after because all the ... stuff... could "fall out" for lack of a better description.
good luck to you!!!

When I got pregnant last month, it was the only month we dtd with a pillow underneath me. And there that pillow remained til the following morning (we stayed in bed). I really don't know if the pillow helped or whatnot, but we were finally able to conceive. Hth and gl!!

Re: New 2nd Time TTCer - with total TMI question about DTD during TTC
when we I have taken advice from this board:
1. I did OPK.
2. 1dpo and 3dpo. (should have done all 3 days and every other leading up to 
3. We just had fun DTD. When my DH was done I shoved pillows under my butt and laid there with my leggs up for about 20-25 min.
4. My DH also "finished" me. I have learned that id a woman has the BIG O its better for the spermies to get in. Also....having a BIG O (I have learned) changes the PH and is less hospitable for female spermies. I am more interested in letting those suckers swim swim swim!

Re: New 2nd Time TTCer - with total TMI question about DTD during TTC
well everything ive read says that regardless if you stand up immediately, lift your legs, or just stay laying down... sperm is falling out no matter what... sperm dies, some swim the wrong way, etc... so i wouldnt worry about it...
i wouldnt change your habits as far as sex positions go either.
other things that help, mucinex or robitussin for producing more ewcm, rasberry leaf tea to help support the femal system...
