Hi guys,

New on here and after some advice.

Bit of out back story;
My wife and I came together in our mid 30's and have now been married 3 years. It was important to us to be settled and married before trying to start a family. Obviously during this time we were getting older!
18 months ago we started trying and got pregnant quickly although sadly we miscarried. It was a very difficult time and we decided to not try again as my wife just couldn't face the thought of another miscarriage.

Fast forward to this last Christmas and we have decided to have another try. So my wife and I are making a concerted effort to get pregnant within the next 12 months. If it doesn't happen before my wife hits 43 then we will stop trying and I will have the snip.

What I'm after is any tips and tricks on conception and the answer to one question I have.

After sex my wife always (I mean always) pops off to the toilet to do whatever it is you ladies do. Have a clean up ect. She always sits on the loo and has a wee.
Now I know wee comes from a different place to where my seed has gone but I'm sure the act of sitting there, garvity ect can't be the best for trying to keep the said seed inside.
I've talked to my wife about it and she doesn't think it makes any difference. Part of me agrees and as we got pregnant before so it is obviously not prohibitive. However I've suggested that as we really want to get pregnant asap it might be better to lie there on the bed for a while and give my seed the best chance.
She however doesn't agree and likes her routine.
Any thought?

Thanks.
