......after dtd to remain lying down (so sperm doesn't "fall out") ......gross I know.......am wondering if it's ok or am I likely to get infection? Ok/advisable to lay like that 'til morning?

If you've found this page in your search of how to clean up after sex and cleaning your sex toys, you might find our guide to the best sex toy cleaners useful. Hope this helps! MNHQ

I have to pee pretty shortly after otherwise there's a good chance I'll get a uti. When ttc I lie there for about 15 minutes then get up to pee.

No idea if lying there helps but why not!?

@mammyoftwo I put a pillow under my bum for 30 minutes afterwards then go to sleep. Been doing that for seven months and haven't had any kind of infection from it

Am convinced this "technique" helped convince both dc 1 + 2, just wondering if it's "safe"

I'm not ttc but if OH comes inside me I tend to stay laid down and go to sleep, why wouldn't you?

I lay down for 5-10 mins then go for a pee. If I don't I get a Uti. I'm pregnant now so obviously didn't stop me.

What would you get an infection from? Your husband's semen? If that’s the case you’ll catch it anyway!

No op you need to install a system that enables you to hang like a bat!!

NymeriaStark · 18/03/2018 20:56

Is it okay to stay lying down until morning? As opposed to what? Sleeping standing up?!

You’ll be fine but I’m not sure it will make any different to whether you conceive or not.

Good luck.

Whatever suits you.

Much as it's an old wive's tale, I tend to stay put for 10 mins but then I nip to the bathroom to clean up. I would personally find it grim to not clean up but if it doesn't bother you then it's up to you.
