Hello ladies Smile

A colleague of mine told me that in order to increase the chance of conception I should lie on my back with my legs up against a wall for half an hour post sex!!

Obviously I know it is silly - but I still did it last night!!! Grin

Also - this is a seriously TMI question but I do need to ask it.

After sex, how much sperm do you find leaks out of you?? Blush

Even after having my legs up for the wall for about 15 minutes I still found there was quite a lot of leakage when I stood up, haha.

I can't believe I'm talking about this!

I guess I just thought that all the sperm would be shot up to where it needed to be???

In what way was my comment about the thread being ridiculous aimed at you??? My smile was actually at JuicyFatSteak because I thought her post was funny and OTT - hence the 'Chill Pill' comment!!

I do not appreciate your attitude in your post to me when nothing I said was directed at you.

Compared to what other people on here have said about you or to you I fail to see how I'm the sick and twisted one who likes upsetting you?

But actually - the whole situation is so childish - I just can't be arsed anymore.

I am intrigued though as to what he said when you told him you wanted a baby with him and ha din fact been TTC behind his back for a few moths already??

Or did you miss that bit out when you were telling him how you feel?

And don't worry about me Zing (the OP) - International's shenanigans are FAR more interesting than any tales of me sticking my legs up in the air Grin

It was so funny when I told him over the phone that I'd had 4 BFPs - he just went silent and then said, "Bloody Hell!!" He was playing cricket at the time Smile I have since been down to the cricket ground (to get my car that he was using) and as soon as he saw me, he ran from his fielding duties to come and give me a huge hug!! He looked so happy!!

Grin can't wait for us to have that moment too!

Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 19:37

And that is why TTC with a willing partner is the best thing to do because we know that when we 'break the news' they are going to be as just as happy and excited as we are!!!!!

He actually looked like he had tears in his eyes Smile

hahaha - be careful, you might get me labelled as some kind of Church Going, Cardigan Wearing Pearl Clutcher with a 'perfect life' Grin

I'm just going to cross my fingers and pray that nothing goes wrong x

Those comments are obviously aimed at me! i.e willing "D.P'S ect. but if when I am blessed with the news of having a baby. I couldn't care less if he's pleased or vexed or what. I will have enough love for him/her.

Also I did not get that comment deleted. x

On the other thread, you say that you are starting to have feelings for him.
So if he wants nothing to do with you once you are pregnant, what are you going to do about those feelings?

KeepTheFaithBaby · 20/07/2013 20:33

Congratulations writer! Wonderful news! I wonder if sticking your legs up actually made the difference?! Either way I'm really pleased for you and what a lovely reaction from your OH Grin wishing you a healthy and smooth pregnancy Thanks

yamsareyammy · 20/07/2013 20:40

international. I am concerned about you. You dont value yourself very much do you?

Thanks keepthefaith - according to hubby the whole thing is down to his "Super Sperm" Grin

internationallove985 · 20/07/2013 20:58

Hi Yamsareyammy. No you're right I probably don't value myself well not sexually anyway. I never have done, really and I know I'll probably cave in and we'll DTD when I see him again. Can I be honest and say he's been my longest sexual partner. x

yamsareyammy · 20/07/2013 21:38

Be careful, because he is using you too.

Dont know what to say really. I suspect, as I tried to say before, that a lot of your insecurities can be traced back to your childhood. But I understand your reluctance to talk about that on here.

qazxc · 20/07/2013 23:00

Congratulations writer!
Will def try the legs in the air now ( i already do 20mins lying on my back anyway).
Grin at "Super Sperm"
