Holding your legs up?


CantWait wrote: Does it really work? Not to get into TMI but after DTD last night (Ovulation time), Ron told me to put em up rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif He says he thinks it makes a difference and therefore....

What's your thoughts on it? Or is it proven?

AlexsPajamaMama replied: I have heard that too
Not sure if it works or not...but it sure doesnt hurt anything to try it!!

lovemy2 replied: My OB always told me to put a pillow under my butt after so gravity can help laugh.gif

DillsMommy replied: I've heard of that. Hope it works for ya!!
I have a friend who used to stand on her head after..... unsure.gif

CantWait replied:
Ya we'll (I should say I will) use that as a last resort. blink.gif OUCH! We've never had trouble conceiving before....lol

DillsMommy replied: laugh.gif It seems a bit extreme. But what ever works, right? laugh.gif
I'm sure you'll have baby #3 on the way in no time! Head standing or not. happy.gif

lisar replied: I always heard it worked, not sure really. Good luck

jcc64 replied: I think we did the pillow under the butt thing with my oldest. Got pg on the first cycle- not sure if that was coincidental or not, b/c we didn't do it with the other 2 and also got pg on the first cycle.
The theory makes sense- gravity is gravity, is it easier riding a bike uphill or down? I'd try it, can't hurt.

A&A'smommy replied: LOL actually they make this pillow for you to put your bottom up not just your legs I don't know if it really works but I did it and i got pregnant

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Yep it works! Use a pillow under your butt, but don't tilt too much (ie: stand on your head) Stay like that for several minutes.

moped replied: I did it all the time!!!! biggrin.gif

CantWait replied:
LOL rolling_smile.gif emlaugh.gif rolling_smile.gif emlaugh.gif

jacobsmama replied: I totally think it works, we even tell our patients to put a pillow under their pelvis afterward to elevate! Good Luck!! thumb.gif

emlaugh.gif Too funny!!! and BTW..Good luck..I hope it happens this cycle for you.. smile.gif baby.gif

My2Beauties replied: I never heard of this but I will say putting a pillow under your butt does intensify your orgasm thumb.gif HA! laugh.gif

So it's a 2 for 1, then! rolling_smile.gif

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I tried it when TTC #1, but I'm really not sure if it worked. The best thing for me was identifying the clear slippery cervical fluid and then having sex. Sperm can swim faster in it, so they have no problem moving up regardless of which way you are sitting. And of course you need to be ovulating so that the cervix is open. GL
