Sorry, gross TTC questions, Warning TMI!!!

[memoo]

I'm positive this is TMI but really need to know.

If I go to the loo and wipe immediately after the... erm... baby making process does it reduce the amount of sperm and therefor reduce my chances of conceiving or is there still enough swimming around??

Sorry for mega gross question!

I've always been told that there are plenty around. Something silly like 2 billion, so what you wipe away won't make any difference. When a man has an orgasm it shoots it up just far enough, so if anything dribbles out it's not a problem. I used to lie for ages with feet in the air until a gynae told me not to waste my time, if you're lying down for 2 mins afterwards its enough.... and what's nicer than a post coital cuddle?

Also presumably once it's out it's out, no?

For both DCs, I laid in bed with feet in air for 20 mins afterwards . A pregnant friend at work told me to do it, so I did.

oops

ok, so I was out slightly... approximately 500 million according to this site but I'd hate to be a hamster ttc

Don't suppose it does any harm croky, I was just told it didn't make any difference.... apparently what does make a difference is if the woman has an orgasm just before or at the same time as the man, as apparently the cervix drops down and almost scoops up semen at the point of orgasm... but it's not essential. You can of course still get pg if you don't orgasm.

sorry, crokky
