whats the best position

May 16, 2008

I was just wondering what are a few sexual positions to help concieve and how long to stay in them for? i have heard missionary,and on all fours is there any other ones and how long should you stay in these positions?

thanks jenn

Jenn031... U should put a pillow under ur butt for about 20 mins after u BD. Not to where ur to high but just enough to elevate ur butt.

Those 2 positions are the best to BD in to conceive in.

May 16, 2008

missionary and doggy style work for most...and it would help if u lie down for atleast 30 minutes flat on ur back...

May 17, 2008

thanks guys ! put a pillow under my butt..lol i will have to get another pillow then. does it matter if i do that or just lay flat?

thanks jenn

May 17, 2008

and what the doggy style position? would you lye on your back then to for 30 mins or in that position?

May 17, 2008

Jenn031.. It is better to to the pillow thing so u dont have the sperm sitting in a pool of it after u BD. U can lay on ur back but the say to do the pillow thing.

After u do doggie style then put the pillow under ur butt and lay on ur back.

I have also stood on my head once be4 after DH and I bded. LOL! I am willing to do anything to get preggo. I just did that this cycle so we will see if it works.

May 17, 2008

i hang over the bed afterwards....lol!

May 19, 2008

stood on your head lol. thats funny. ok i will have to stay lying down for that time and see what happens thanks again katie

May 19, 2008

puting pillow under your butt also plesesnt to men and good for concive also.

May 19, 2008

I got pregnant three times in a row doggy style and I didn't hold the position at all, I got up to pee within a few minutes. I also used opk's too to time intercourse right. Good luck and have fun!

June 03, 2008

wow sar! 3x's without holding the position? thats awesome! i wish i had that luck but i haven't yet and i sat up on my hands and knees each time for 20mins at least.

June 03, 2008

Ya know what? I also had a few drinks and was totally relaxed too. I had an orgasm each time too, some say that helps, who knows for sure, but I had one so I'd like to think it helped. lol :)

I think a big key to it is to stay relaxed, don't think about conceiving and try to just enjoy eachother. It's hard which is why I had a few drinks to relax. My dh made it fun, we would have date night, go out to eat, see a movie and come home and get all snuggly and then bd. It really took the stress out of it for me.

Also keep in mind that after my first m/c it took me six months to get pregnant again and then after the second m/c it took me a year. So it's not like I'm fertile myrtle, it's just that every time I got pregnant we had happened to bd doggy style and then I was like..hmmmmm...we're on to something here. lol :)

Good luck Jenn!!!

June 03, 2008

Hey ladies... I think that I will try putting the pillow under my butt while BDing on my back. If I remember right.. I think that is how I conceive my son so I will have to try it this month.

June 06, 2008

good luck i am going to try the pillow thing as well:) we'll see.

June 06, 2008

hang over the bed afterwards...lol! which way though? straight up and down on my back or on my tummy???hahaha wouldn't that kill your head???

June 06, 2008

Jenn031.. U would hang over the bad on ur back. I have done that too.

Also Wed I put the pillow under my butt while we were BDing and left it there after so Im hoping that will help too.

June 06, 2008

for how long did you hang over the bed like that? didn't it hurt your head????

June 06, 2008

Jenn... u dont have to hang over it long. After u hang then u should lay with the pillow under ur butt.

June 06, 2008

so not like 20 mins..lol? geesh could you imagine haha and how is the pillow done do you fold it in half and then place it under your butt or just leave it as normal and put it under there?

June 06, 2008

No not like 20 mins... just make sure that ur pillow is high enough to get ur hips up. Not like over ur head tho. LOL!

June 06, 2008

lol! i will try it folded in half first .. thanks katie.

June 06, 2008

YW Jenn... no problem.. have u ever tired Preseed yet? Some ppl swear by it. I have tried to be4 adn I like it alot but some women dont like it at all.

June 06, 2008

no katie what is preseed?

June 06, 2008

Jenn.. Preseed is a sperm friendly lub that is suppose to make the sperm swim faster. Some women say that they have gotten preggo when using it. I remember that I used it in Dec and got preggo but had a chemical.

June 06, 2008

i dowant to try that fertilty stuff that they sell in the gnc stores but need to talk to the doc first see how they feel about it.

June 06, 2008

sarr, yeah you are so right staying relaxed is the key but like you said it is so.... diffucult when focused on one thing. i know so many people who have said the samething and thats exactly what they did and got preggo after trying so long . weird how that works but it does...lol

June 06, 2008

Oh ok.. Well the preseed is nothing that u have to worry about and u dont have to ask ur doc about it. It is like using veggi oil but it comes in a little applacator so it is easy to use and it is pretty cheap too. Dr Q has told ppl on here about it.

June 06, 2008

really katie? where do i find this preseed stuff being my husband has a low sperm count and motility this could really help us

thanks!

June 06, 2008

do we insert this into us or does he put it on himself?

June 06, 2008

U can order it from www.early-pregnancy-test.com

It could work for u and him.. Also on that website they have vitamins that are fro men and women that is suppose to enhance ur chances of getting preggo. U can look at that too if u want too.

June 06, 2008

and where can i find it?

June 06, 2008

ok thanks. how much does it cost off of the website?

June 06, 2008

I think for a 3 pk it was like 6 to 10 dollars. I havent bought any in a month or two.

June 06, 2008

oh thats not bad atall. and there are no side effects from it? i'm on seizure meds so need to be careful with what i am using/and or taking ya know? also what kind of opk did you use? i use the one with which lines are darker or the same..lol first response opk's this a good choice?

June 07, 2008

hi katie! well i put the pillow under my butt and we'll see i didn't feel that much of my hips being raised though also hung off the side of the bed for a few..lol it hurts your head after awhile..hahaha thinking about going to get one of those wedge pillows and try that too.

June 07, 2008

Ha Ha!!!!! The best position for me is no position at all!!! I don't know what it is but I have absolutely NO sex drive these days. My poor DH!! When I do manage to give it up.... which isn't very often... The only way that even came close to working was me on my back on the edge of the bed and DH standing. Does anyone else find pregnancy sex very awkward these days?? My belly totally gets in the way! Before I got too big I could be on top.

June 07, 2008

OOOPPPS!!! I totally didn't read the post correctly!!!! Im such a dork!

June 07, 2008

yes i do find it very very awkward.I dont enjoy it because it is very uncomfertable and plus my DH is ver unconfortable.poor guy.but he says its ok for baby.we usually do it on sat sun only.

June 08, 2008

hi sam haha that was funny!

jenn

June 08, 2008

hi sam haha that was funny!

jenn

June 08, 2008

not that i don't enjoy it just ttc is more diffucult then i thought..lol geesh.... now the position sam mentioned we haven't tried yet hmmmmmm may have to see if these others don't take:)

July 04, 2008

try these techniques and so far no luck:( also had to stop taking clomid this month due to headaches:( they hurt to.

July 16, 2008

going to go buy myself one of those wedge pillows cause i don't feel that my hips are high enough using one of our regular pillows. this should help yeah?

July 17, 2008

Jenn.... just make sure that ur hips are not to high. They need to be high but not way up there. I just bought the OV Watch and so far I love it. It is kinda expensive but it says that it works and it has been on the Tyra Banks show so it has good reviews. Good luck with the pillow hun.

July 22, 2008

Sarr22222-I really agree with you and believe that the doggy style maybe the answer in most cases because your uterus is closer to the sperm from that position I was told.(I hope I said that correctly)lol.Anyway I haven't gotten pregnant in over a year and a half since my 2nd MC and it took 6 months before I became pregnant again from the 1st MC so wow although I am sorry to hear of your loss at least I know I wasn't going through this all alone and did you keep the 3rd preggo?

July 23, 2008

katie whgat is the ov watch? so about how high should your hips be? say like if you put both of your hands under your butt is this high enough or should it be a bit more higher then that?

July 26, 2008

hi katie! can you tell me what the ov watch is? and do you think the wedge pillows they sell at like target would be good for the hips to be raised? our pillows atr kind of flat..lol so i don't know if i was up there high enough the few tmes i used it, we've had them for like a year.lol! so what do you think? thanks jenn

July 28, 2008

Jenn031.. the OV Watch detects the salt icons in ur body to tell u the 4 fertile days be4 O and the day of O and the day after O.

U could try the wedge pillow. I just use 2 if they are flat.

Sorry Im just now getting back to u. I was on a vacation.

July 28, 2008

thanks katie. i am going to go purchase one ether today or tomorrow . how was your vacay? also do you know a website where i can look up a database of re's? thanks

jenn

July 28, 2008

katie i forgot to infor you that i have a tilted uterus too so which position is best for women with tilted uterus's?

thank you , jenn

July 29, 2008

Jenn031.. Did u get the OV Watch? I love mine. It has no stress at all which is great. I found out that I actually O on CD 15 not Cd 13 so that could help me out alot. I found that out today when I got O day 1 on my watch.

The position I would choose would be doggie.

July 30, 2008

hey katie! cute pic of you and your're dh:) no i haven't gotten one yet can you tell me roughly how much they are? i have heard of women with tilted uterus's saying doggie is best for us you think so to?

July 31, 2008

Jenn031... yes I think so too. Also, thanks for the comment of my pic :)

I bought the OV Watch for alittle over $100. but u can bid for one on ebay. They have new and used ones. As soon as I get a BFP then I will be getting rid of mine. I hope that I get a BFP soon. The watch is great! I love it and its so easy to use. Im glad that I bought it even though it is alittle pricey!
