When you were trying to conceive how long did you stay in bed or keep the cum in? We have sex before bed and I keep it in all night making sure none spill out. I know you don’t have to but in my head if I get up then some leaks out and I start to think it’s not going to work. Also how often did you have sex. We do it daily just to make sure we don’t miss our chance.

Even when I was trying to conceive I would have a wee shortly after sex as you can get a UTI if not. Also a shower after sex will only wash away sperm on the outside of the vagina not the inside. I used to have a wee and shower after sex and I felt pregnant very quickly. But everyone takes a different amount of time to fall pregnant, some people fall on their first try, others takes months. How quickly did you call pregnant with your first? Daily is a lot, you only have a small window for getting pregnant when ovulation occurs, there are apps that can help advise you on this. Try to just enjoy the process 🙂

I don't know if this helped, but when I fell pregnant with my ex we did it like 4 times that night and once in the morning. Also the position we were in my legs were in the air resting on the headboard of the bed and I remember reading somewhere once that apparently having your legs in the air helps, not sure if its true or not.

Diet is a big thing too, and if your consuming a lot of alcohol, try conceving vitamins also. They don't guarantee, but certainly have an impact on ttc I think. But it varies from.person to person, and I think the more pressure you put on it the less likely you are to fall...we went on holiday for a week, and had sex 5 times out of the 7 days. And I was in peak ovulation. I didn't fall pregnant, but also was drinking alot ( it was all inclusive lol) got back home, moved house, spent 2 months redecorating, designing and totally not thinking of ttc, then had sex out the blue, I was on top, abd bang! Fell pregnant. I truly believe its because I stopped thinking about it, and started to enjoy it

You don’t need to sit there all night, around maybe 10-15 mins or so on your back is enough to keep them in.
(Remember there’s MILLIONS of sperm in one small sample so plenty of chances!)
That’s what I did, and I fell pregnant quickly.
Also good diet, exercise & pregnacare conceiving tablets.
Daily is a lot, as they say that the sperm quality is better when ejaculated every other day, rather than everyday. (There are research papers on this online if you wanted to review) essentially just focus on your ovulation day and perhaps either side of the ovulation day for good luck (as the egg is fertile for 24 hours so no harm in making sure you catch it) then any other fertile days you have left every other day to maintain sperm quality. Good luck xx
