Ok, so this is going all out bc I just need to know! I've been ttc for almost 2 yrs as most of you know. Thank-you for all the pregly love, support, baby dust etc.........but hubby & I have sex & I do the hip elevation for awhile & then get up to get ready for bed........I'm afraid his spermies are just falling downward bc we read it could take sometimes u to 6 hours to travel all the way to an egg........I know your answers will b tmi but at this point.....ummm it doesn't bother me lol please I need some after sex ttc advice!

    May sound crazy but some chiropractors swear adjusting you can help with fertility

    Do it when your already ready for bed then go to sleep with pillow under your butt. This will help keep your mund off of getting up.

    Have u tried after sex lifting ur butt up n keeping ur legs up for a lil while sounds a lil crazy I know but I don't have any kids n was kinda stuck n that position when I believe we concieved lol

    Did you do a semen analysis? If so after that you can try an iui which is where they inject the spermies into your cervix.

    @Mama_Kat lol no biggie I will look into it. Thanks!
    @mshahir I am trying to lose weight. I have PCOS so the process is a lil slower, but I've been losing :-D I don't smoke, I don't do drugs of any kind!, I don't drink but maybe a glass of wine once a month or longer, I don't like soda or sugary drinks, I do drink unsweet tea. I am on the meds from my dr for fertility (I had hyperplasia, but bc of my hardwork & medication my uterus is better & baby friendly)

    My boyfriend and I went unprotected for a good 7 months before I got pregnant. I think we finally did when I stopped thinking about getting pregnant. Maybe that will help to stop "stressing" over it?

    My fertility doctor said elevating hips is a myth but alot of people do it. However he said you should not get up after sex. I about grossed out but I just went to sleep after.

    How often do ya'll try? His spermies need time to regenerate... try taking a break every other day so he can make some more swimmers.

    @mshahir Thanks! I will check-out the website!
    @Babynewyear2012 hmmm....yeah I'm grossed out but I guess I should just go to bed afterwards.
  • Prayin_4_twinsPrayin_4_twins
    @lucy_loo_288 We go every other day but sometimes its 3. The fertility dr told us that was good. Hubby has been tested & his spermies are healthy & good :)

    Also this is gonna sound crazy but get him to pick you up from your ankles and you literally shake you a little. That's how mom did with me. Hope it works out

    Welp...I never even elevated my hips. Heard it was a myth, anyway :?

    But all my docs told me I would never concieve, and I just assumed they were right so didn't even think about it.

    Annnnd now I'm due anyday. Stop stressing honey. I swear it works wonders ;)

    I miscarried march of 2010 and we conceived Oct of 2010 haha but I believe that night it was so good I was so tired and fell asleep, yes it can feel nasty but I believe that's how I got my ego prego.. hopefully it helps, we didn't think about conceiving for a while after we lost our baby due to mc and well eventually it happened again... hope this helps.

    Anotha tip to guess wen ur ovulating (cos of the pcos) is when you go to clen up, sort of monitee the amount of sperm that comes out. If ur ovulating the less sperm will come out (cervix is open slightly) , not ovulating it will all comebck out :) jus a lil. tip my sisters doc gave her :)
  • LeviLuv8LeviLuv8
    No advice really more then anyone has said. But all of us ttc girls no a bunch of girls who didn't follow any of the "rules" but somehow still become pregnant. I know many who smoke & drank while conceiving & continue to smoke throughout pregnancy. And some who try only one month its devastating to know we do everything we should but still no satisfaction. Good luck!
  • upnorthmomupnorthmom
    Im sure you know this but pcos makes it hard to concive. Your eggs are typicaly not as good as others...have you had tests done? Also taking baby asprin until you get a pos test is a good idea...it does something for increasing your chances.
    It took me 9 years to get my first...so I have been there. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help!!!
  • augustmommy2baugustmommy2b
    I was gonna kinda say same thing as @reemama. The night I concieved i just came home and passed out. I didn't take a shower and ya i know it's gross but it worked. I wasnt trying but it happened so maybe that'll help.
  • mrsrocketfield1221mrsrocketfield1221
    Think of all the women who do get pregnant ... I know for a fact they don't all do head stands afterwards! It may help in some cases, but is not the only way to get preggers!!! Hell I tried doing that this past month and it didn't work! Lol I try to do it at night, bet ready for bed, pee, get it on... and fall asleep. That hasn't worked either. Try to fall asleep after with a pillow under your bum if anything... I just think it will take time due to your health issues & the time will come!! But hey... you can join our pregly circus if u want to try it out?!?! Lol ;)
  • one5oneone5one
    If you layed down 15 mins then the sperm are already on their way. What's coming out is just fluid. Btw I have pcos too. I know how you feel.

    Might sound silly but it worked for me, or maybe it was a coindidence but you wont loose anything trying..

    I was ttc for a little over two years and tried everything! I gave up so I started drinking a cleanser, preatty much is flax seed with lots of other ingredients and herbs, like pineapple, cactus, etc... That helps clean your stomach its called NOPALINA you can find it online and its really cheap. I used it for two weeks to just give muself a cleanse and right after I got pregnant with number one!

    Two years later I had it again for another cleanse and right after I am here pregnant again!!! Wasnt expecting this one but here I am all happy once again, like I said... It might be a coinsidence but I heard other stories from ppl that they got pregnant right after taking it!

    Its really cheap. And you just take it twice a day with orange juice, its not really that bad, just looks nasty but you cant taste it!

    Good luck :)
  • caitiecakescaitiecakes
    My best advice is stop trying...I know way easier said than done...but we also tried for 1 year 11 months....I gave up and focused on a promotion at work and boom got pregnant and promoted...even tho had to quit... idk I guess being relaxed and not thinking is this the time I'm pregnant helped...baby dust to you huns.
