Sex positions when TTC

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?

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

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
