Re: Ok here come the stupid questions
You're not dumb and clueless! 
Most sources will tell you to try to stay horizontal for about 20 minutes or so - but women have been getting pregnant without even knowing it for ages, so I don't think it really matters in the long run. Can't hurt to try to stay still, but you don't have to lay there for hours!
Hope that helps!

Re: Ok here come the stupid questions
First of all, never a stupid question here at LIF; we're all here to help each other!
IMO I dont' think it matters. I've heard of people getting PG either which way.
I personally prefer to 'tinkle' right after anyways b/c sometimes if I don't I end up with a UTI.
Best of luck to you!

Re: Ok here come the stupid questions
i think we had a thread where we debated this exact topic - so please, don't feel silly at all!!!!!
Some people do the whole ten minutes of legs in the air, or just hips raised....and some don't because of fear or the reality of UTI's.
One of the girls on here had IVF or an IUI and the doctor had her raise her hips for 10 minutes or something after...
My thought is - if a doctor told her to do it - i'll do it too....what's funny is that Dave & I discussed this just last night...and i told him about the thing above...how the girls' doc had her do it...

Speaking from experience, there is no evidence that laying with your hips elevated for any amount of time will greater your chances of getting pregnant. I had 6 IUI's and while they had me lay on the exam table for 10 minutes after, even the doctor said there is really no real reason for it when we asked.
