silly bd Q

[sexy_minx]

ive seen on some threads that some of us put our bums up on a pillow after bd to help the boys swim...i have seen others say they have put the legs up? where do you put your legs? is it the same thing as the pillow under the bum or something? lol sorry i just had to ask

I used to move my legs in the air like I was riding a bike if you get what I mean. After about 15 mins I was buggered but it worked!

[sexy_minx]

oh ok, didnt that push on your belly and push all the boys out?

[Jamaica]

We were told to do it slowly as it increases blood flow which helps. I did it with a pillow under my pelvis too so I was tilted so nothing could come out.
I also no a few ladies who rest there legs on the wall or bed head. I think as long as you stay still and elivate your legs it doesnt really matter how you do it :)

Good luck

I put a pillow under my bum..normally fall asleep like that then wake up an hour or so later and get rid of it ;)

Hmm definately can't be bothered pedalling!! Just keep my legs up in the air for about 10 mins...I think it definatately helps, cos they don't come out nearly as fast :rolleyes::laughing:

[iMischa]

i use a pillow and keep my legs up lol. i make sure i do that for at least half hour..then i get comfy and goto bed!

p.s jamaica 12 weeks already! wow, i remember when i first signed up u had only just announced u had a bfn! seems like that time has flown!!

I read that lying on your stomach was good too so I've been doing that and it must do something because none 'falls out'. Works for me too cause I sleep on mt tumy.
I did do the legs in the air over the side of the lounge once but felt a bit silly!! Was comfy though..:rolleyes:

[ringneck]

i lay on my stomach you have to be careful how high you put your legs up or tilt because the semen will just pool near the cervix and not go anywhere i used to have it gush back out but since laying on my tummy none comes out

Hi Ladies:wave:

My OB/GYN told me not to do it as it "floods" the cervix...

I dunno how much this works anyway - DH & i got pregnant BDing in the shower & i certianly wasnt laying down!:laughing::laughing::laughing:

[sexy_minx]

Ive heard the same about the pillows been to high and the boys pooling around the cervix and not going in.

Ahh, I remember those days. I can hardly fit in the shower alone now..:p

[BoyCrazy]

yup, we tried for a baby for 18 months, so every month putting my legs up in the air, cycling my legs, or putting them up on the windowsill. Never worked.

The month i got my bfp, i just laid on my back with my feet flat on the bed iykwim for about 5-10 mins, and didnt go pee afterwards, made sure everything stayed in there! :laughing:

Good luck! :babydust2:

:yelclap: Thats great!!!

Ideally, the sperm shoot straight into your cervix when you BD. In this case, having your pelvis tilted upward, would help the sperm swim up to the fallopian tubes. If however they are still not through the cervix yet, I think there's a good chance that putting your bottom up would allow the sperm to flow down either side of the cervix, and not go in. So, I'm not really sure what's best. Sorry :o.

I think the whole bum on pillow thing could maximise your chances of getting pregnant, but frankly, if you are having sex there's a good chance of it happening anyway without worrying about it.

[Moops]

We tried for 9 months to get pg with DS and it finally happened the first time we stayed in the 'finishing' position for 20 minutes after then I put my legs up against the wall. I'm not sure which one helped but I will be doing it again next time! Saves all that unnecessary bd'ing! :laughing:

[proudmama]

not sure if raising the legs or bum helps but thinking about the physics of it it can't hurt - all i think is the more bd you do the greater the chance of a bfp

[mochachinobaby]

Yeah :iagree:.....

i have read that it really doesn't matter what you do with your legs after you bd. All you need is one little strong swimmer out of the millions that come out to make it to your egg. I guess the physics of it makes sense that it would help, but i probably wouldn't worry about it too much.

A lot does come out after bd'ing but millions stay in as well.....

all the best :)
