When you got pregnant, did you do the whole "propping your butt on a pillow and keeping your legs up for 1/2 hour" thing?

I did! I don't know if it was really the cause of getting pregnant, but it made me feel better by helping the guys get to their destination!Chat Icon

Re: Ok, be honest...

Actually no! We were in our 7th month (with a m/c in there) of trying & doing everything "right" when I got pregnant. We conceived in July while we were on a baby-free trip to Virginia with some friends. I forgot about OPKs until it was too late so I didn't even realize I was ovulating. All of the BDing that went on was because we were drunk & in the mood Chat Icon Immediately after I'd jump up clean myself up & get dressed & then go out someplace. Hell more than once we would BD right after hanging out in the hot tub! It still worked. Go figure Chat Icon

Re: Ok, be honest...

Dh and I weren't trying, but we weren't NOT trying either, if that makes sense. That went on for 3 weeks and nothing... then I started having back pains and one night did the 'butt on pillow' thing right after... and that was my conception date according to Dr..... so I guess for us, it worked! Good luck!

We tried it everytime and it never worked. We ended up with doing an IUI and the second time worked. The doctor did have be lay for five minutes though.

Re: Ok, be honest...

I didn't prop myself up but I'm pretty sure the night we conceived our little one, I fell asleep with DH's spermies swimming inside me.

I didn't get out of bed until the next morning.
