DTD-TMI potential!!

Ladies (and any men!)

During fertile window, I was wondering if any of you do the deed any differently than obviously less BD-potential shenanigans?

Without being too OTT in the sharing, are you, for example, laying still for longer, post-coitus? (Think, legs in the air etc!!)

Or is all that mythical?

Sorry for any ahem awkward images...!

When we were TTC I held my legs in the air for a bit afterwards... but I've read that it doesn't make any difference whatsoever (and I didn't get pregnant) but I worked with a lot of girls who got pregnant, and the general rule was to keep the legs up 😂

Haha, ok thanks. Will try anything, but will warn DH in advance if looking like a ninny!

I put a pillow under my hips/bum and stay there for a bit. It’s my first cycle so I don’t know if it’s worked yet. It makes me feel like I’m doing something though!

I tried the old legs in the air, hips on a pillow malarkey. The cycle we got our (hopefully sticky, now 10.5 weeks) BFP I did nothing. But always worth a try 😊

We didn't. Just had sex. I get UTIs if I don't go to the loo immediately after sex, so did that and washed down there too.

Got pregnant first time 3 times now so I'd say yes, legs in the air is a myth!

CobaltRose · 24/07/2018 22:11

Nope, we didn't do anything different. Just made sure to have lots of sex Wink

I did the pillow under the bum thing but like everyone else said I'm not convinced it really works. I was however very lucky and caught pretty early on x

Pretty sure I got pregnant when I was on top Blush and also washed immediately afterwards! Not sure it makes any difference at all, apparently all the good stuff is where it needs to be within a few seconds anyway.

If you're old enough to get pregnant, you can talk about sex. You don't need to aherm or tmi.

Legs in the air makes no difference apart from risking your chance of an infection. Healthy sperm go straight where you need them.

Thanks @ShowOfHands, curt and patronising responses need not apply 🙄

I wasn't being curt or patronising.
