After BDing .......
are you afraid to get up? 
We BD'ed last night and even though I didn't O yet or get a positive OPK, I had a feeling like I was approaching O  (guess I'll know for sure by tonight/tomorrow..) and I was afraid to get out of bed because I didn't want any to leak out (tmi  )
Tell me I'm not the only crazy one

Re: After BDing .......
its a great idea to lay with your hips elevated for about 30 minutes after BDing to let gravity help out the little guys get to where they have to go. after that, dont worry about what leaks out!
I always did this but thought it was silly, but they even said it on Dr Oz yesterday!

 seriously? 30 minutes? I always thought that was a myth and that any "little guys" that are going to make its way toward the egg are strong enough without any help!
Hmm... but I do trust Dr.Oz  I just have to trust the countless number of people that got pregnant WITHOUT elevating their hips to have hope that maybe... just maybe.. if I am about to O, that last night could have been "the" night

Re: After BDing .......
I stayed with my hips elevated for about 2 minutes and then got completely bored so I would get up!!! And--(TMI)--since I easily get UTI, I even went to the bathroom afterwards. Even though I didn't lay there and peed, I still got pregnant!

so glad that you mentioned this- I have the same problem with uti's - so I have been fighting between lying there after and going to the bathroom- bathroom always wins

Re: After BDing .......
It's a myth that you have to lay there for 30 minutes. His little swimmies will make their way up there quickly if you have fertile/slippery CM. I lay down for 5 minutes...remember he releases approx. 300 million little swimmers each time, all it takes is one to get up there, it's normal for some to drip out...a few minutes will do the trick
Good Luck

Re: After BDing .......
I try to lay in bed for about 30 minutes, its a good time to catch up on 1 of my shows on the DVR.
I haven't elevated my hips or anything, I just try not to sit up or move around too much.

Re: After BDing .......
we only BD 3 times around Ovulation the month we got our BFP and each time, i think i layed there an extra 15 mins or so
(i dont know that it matters, it takes the sperm 10+ hours to reach the egg in the f.tubes .... but, it couldnt hurt!!)

Re: After BDing .......
Sometimes I try to lay there for 15 minutes, but other times I just get right up and go to the bathroom. I don't think it really matters. Like a PP said, many women get PG without lying there afterwards.

I lay there for about 15 minutes or so with my hips elevated. I'm not sure if it's a myth or not but I figure it can't hurt.

Re: After BDing .......
I would stay still for 20-30 minutes with my legs up. I know that the boys get to where they need to, but it just made feel better.

Re: After BDing .......
It took us a long time to get our BFP and I used to put my hips up for at least 30 minutes. The time we finally conceived, I jumped right up after BDing and peed. So, I say it doesn't matter.

Re: After BDing .......
I actually JUST went to the doctor today and asked this question! haha! She said that there is no *medical* evidence to confirm that getting up right after and peeing decreases your odds. However, she recommended putting a pillow underneath and waiting at least 10 minutes but 30 minutes ideally before cleaning up. She says it can only help and certainly does not hurt.
