How long to stay lying down after sex?

My DH are trying to conceive - but he's a morning person! If he succeeds in waking me up in the morning, I get very antsy after having sex because I want to get up and start my day, but I keep worrying about the semen spilling out. Is there any rule of thumb for how long I should stay lying down, and is there any position which I should remain in in order to maximize the chances of the semen getting into the cervix?

Is it better for one's chances of conception to have sex right before going to bed at night, or does it not matter?

should say in bed a half hour - also, try raising your hips or put your feet up in the air for a minute or two

Re: How long to stay lying down after sex?

Last month I only bd once around O and I stayed in bed for a 1/2 hour with a pillow under my bum. (Got a BFP) Don't know if you need to elevate or not, but I read that there is no need to stay in bed much longer than a 1/2 hour, and you want what's left to run out at that point so you don't confuse it w/ CM when you check for fertility signs. I don't think it matters what time of day, in fact the morning would be good if you O the night before (if your temps rise that morning). Of course the night/day before would work in that case as well

I agree to remain laying down for 1/2 hour. Also, the month I did a headstand after sex I got my BFP! I guess I'll never know if I owe it to the headstand or not!

I ll try the headstand this cycle . . . . it will definitely baffle my DH. I am so happy for your BFP megs hope you are stating to feel a bit better and that your nausea is descreasing. Have been following for the past few months since i also had a m/c a will ago. Wishing you all the best for the following months.
