Curious question...

Do you believe that having your feet/legs up for a certain amount of time after having sex really helps in getting pregnant? I have always wondered about that.

Has anybody done this? Do you think it helped with your chances of conceiving or is it just a myth?

Thanks

some people swear by it!
Ive heard of women buying the 'woman's cup?condom?' and inserting IT right after so it can stay in longer!
In the end...it only takes that one little swimmer!
Its gonna get there on its own or its not!
I think the standing on ur head, legs in air and all that jazz just makes ya feel like ur helping out!
Thats my opinion!

I don't know if it really helps, but I did it and got results, lol.  I guess the whole thought is just that "gravity" would help the most sperm find its way up to where the egg is, and if you have your feet down... well, some of it tends to dribble out.

 I have no idea if it works or not but Best of luck to ya!!! I know i have tried it in the past many many times and no luck. Come to find out my reason for not ever getting pregnant before was because my fertility was low because of being obese for so long! 

worked for me, and doctors recommend it too.

I recently read somewhere that elevating the pelvis too high after sex made the semen pool around the cervix instead of going in. So maybe a slighter angel is better than flat or too high? Not that I would know.... :)

I didn't do it but I did lie in bed and didn't move for about 10 minutes each time.

I will tell you what worked for me. The first time we got pregnant in April of 2009, I put a big pillow under my hips and then after for about ten mins I put my lets up in the air against the wall. I had been trying for 8 months and I got pregnant that first time doing that. I lost the baby due to miscarriage. And then Jan of 2010 we decided to try again. I got pregnant my first month doing that! So it worked for me!!! And I used a clear blue easy fertility monitor! I love that thing!
