My boyfriend is convinced that holding my legs in the air after sex will help us with conceiving, does anyone have any opinions on this?
What do you think shall I continue breaking my neck and holding my legs in the air because I happily will if it helps however is lying on my back doing the same thing, help?

My gynae told me that does nothing lol

It doesn’t have any effect at all. Everything gets where it needs to within seconds of ejaculation, whatever you might hold inside for longer by keeping your legs in the air is more than likely to be the sperm that wouldn’t have made it anyway.

There has been scientific studies on this, and it’s pointless. If it makes you feel better then go for it, but it’s not doing anything. Sperm is in there in seconds. You could get up and it still won’t affect it

Thanks so much everyone x

So the "experts" day it doesn't matter what position, but I beg to differ. We do doggy style during my ovulation, and it seems to work. He's in so much deeper, closer to the entrance of my cirvix, and stays that way for a minute or two after he ejaculates. I've gotten pregnant every time despite my losses. Try sex that way during your ovulation.

Couldn’t say wether it helps with conception but doggy style definitely keeps the sperm in for longer

TTC our first, and ovulating now. Tried doggy last night, hope it works 🤞🏼🤞🏼
