When TTC i know that after having sex you should lay down for about 10 min. Will having sex right before sleep (without having to stand up and walk) increase your chances of getting pregnant? I dont know if it makes sense but i thought if i sleep through the night with the sperm inside there would be a greater possibility of getting pregnant….? Please correct me if i’m wrong, and suggest other methods.

Put your butt up in the air and keep it there for about 10 minutes and do Kegels after sex! That’s what worked for me.
Good luck!

it makes no difference! because any sperm that would leak out by you walking or standing after ten minutes was not heading in the right direction for you to get pregnant anyway! take a look at these web sites they may help a little!

Should I stay lying down afterwards?
Some experts also believe that you can boost your chances of conceiving by staying in bed for up to half an hour after having sex, preferably on your back with your hips raised on a pillow. In theory, this gives the sperm a helping hand because they’re not having to swim against gravity on their way up to your fallopian tubes. (This obviously isn’t a good idea if you’re prone to urinary tract infections and have been advised by your doctor to go to the loo immediately after sex.)
Another trick that some women swear by is lying on your back and “bicycling” in the air with your legs for a few minutes after sex. If nothing else it should give you and your partner a good giggle – and what could be more conducive to successful baby-making than having fun in bed!

That’s how I got pregnant, lol. I used to get really bad UTI’s so I would get up right after sex and clean off so I wouldn’t get an infection. The night I got pregnant, I just went to sleep with the sperm inside of me. But, along with pregnancy I also got my first yeast infection. I’d say give it thirty minutes with your hips elevated (gravity), and any longer than that I’d say the sperm is dead. You don’t want to get an icky infection, that may cause miscarriage. Good luck to you.

Every time my husband and I have sex I get up and clean myself off (due to me being allergic to my own “discharge”) and I still got pregnant. So I’m not sure if this really works or not due to my own experiences.

I would say that’s a great way to get a UTI or other infection. I would just wait 30min or so and get up to clean up so you don’t end up sick.

my uterus is retrovert…that is it’s tilted forward at a very sharp angle ( alot of women have a tilted uterus, it’s not a big deal but if it’s severe it can cause you not to get pregnant)…after 3 years and 8 months of “NO LUCK” . I thought I’d try this…I stayed on my knees and elbows bottom in the air for 30 minutes doing this I got pregnant the first month!

this won’t help…just try laying down about 20mins after ejaculation and the best position is missonary (him on top)
make sure you are ovulating as well…go to babycenter.com and enter your information in the ovulation calendar and it will tell you’re most fertile days
