Weeing after DTD?

3 replies

Pipbin · 19/05/2012 13:15

For years I suffered with dreadful cystitis and was always advised to have a wee after DTD.
This is something I have continued now I've been TTCing.
Does anyone know if this will have a negative effect on my TTCing?

It's not supposed to be great if you can avoid it but it's a delicate balance with the cystitis. Certainly getting cystitis will be crap for TTC. You may be able to get around it by making sure you wee before. I have had problems with cystitis too and this helps, I find I can 'safely' not get up after now, or at least not right away.

Well, I'd been trying for baby #2 for 3 years, but still had a wee after. I'd wait a while, usually up to 5 mins, but not longer and then go for a wee. Cystitis isn't worth it. Got pg 4 times (3MCs and 1 sticky) so it can't have been that much of a problem having a wee. :)

Hiya pipbin. Honestly? If some of the swimmers fall out for you going for a wee, they were never destined to get to an egg any way. They are differs! I wait about 5-10 minutes so I don't seem unromantic! and wee. I've had several utis since TTC and I do think it helps.
