Topsy Turvy?

[sufferingbabyfever]

Hi,

Been TTC for 3 cycles now. I know I have a tilted cervix (found this out at an agony of a smear test).

Can this hinder TTC? Anyone know?

Ive heard doggy style gives you an increased chance as does lying on your stomach afterwards.

Anyone heard this or are these more myth and legend you stumble across on google?

Hello,

Doggy style is a myth, but raising your hips on a pillow for 20 mins after sex can help the swimmers get up into your cervix more easily.

Dont worry about the shape of your cervix, it actually changes throughout the month anyway and in no way means you will have trouble conceiving.

If you want to help separate the facts from myths with regards to fertility issues I would really recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weshcler, or the fertility course offered free by www.fertilityfriend.com

good luck.

There are plenty of myths regarding ttc.
Sperms will swim up into the cervix anyway from where they cannot escape, using a pillow post intercourse will make no difference whatsoever to this outcome.

Would not worry at all about the shape of the cervix.

Hello,

Using is pillow just helps gravity (which is not a myth but a scientifically proven theory) to help any sperm which has landed nearer to the opening of your vagina fall further up towards your cervix. Its definitely not a miracle cure for infertility but just common sense. Better than standing up straight away and letting it run down your leg! cos its a long swim from there!

All the bum tilting, lying on pillows stuff is nonsense.

Because the good swimmers, the ones you want to get there, will get there.

Allow your body and the sperm to do what they do best.
