FW Sex: A Poll

[MrsMB]

Ok....so everyone has heard a variety of different things regarding what to do what to do immediately following FW sex. I know I have. My nurse has told me one thing, the interwebs say another. Just curious....what do you believe?

Basically, do you lay down afterwards or get right back up after FW sex? My FW is closing so this has no bearing on what I'm personally doing....just want to see what you believe.

For those on the app:

* Lay Down for 15 minutes with Hips Elevated

* Lay Down for 15 minutes (Position? On your back? On your stomach?)

* I don't jump right up...but I stay horizontal for a few

* I get right back up. Those swimmers are already on their way!

* Special Snowflake

I always stay laying down on my back, for 15-20 min.

I usually just stay laying down for a while, no idea on how much actual time.

I have at times elevated my hips, put my feet up on the wall, stupid stuff like that mainly out of desperation, not because I think it will actually change anything lol

I stay lying down for a few minutes but not long because I like to pee very shortly after sex.

I lay down for awhile afterwards. Sometimes I elevate my hips, other times I don't.

I've only laid down for a few (5?) minutes but I'm going to aim for longer this cycle. Who knows if it will work but it's worth a try.

I generally lay down for about 5 mins. I've gotten a few UTIs during this period of TTC, so I like to pee soon after.

I stayed horizontal for a few. I don't know if it helps or not but figure it couldn't hurt. They did have me lay for 10 or 15 minutes after IUI so maybe there's something to it.

During my last few cycles I started staying laid down with my hips up on a pillow for about 15 minutes.  Not because I believe it will change anything, but at this point I will try anything!

This.

I stay laying down for 10-15 minutes. After my IUI's they had me lay with my hips elevated for 20 minutes.

SS because I'm not consistent - I've done and do all of the above but im not loyal to one practice

By the time i got up, the good sperm were already where they needed to be.

I do, because they have me lay for 10-15 minutes with my hips up after IUIs.
