Sleeping Position After Transportation To Get Pregnant Quickly, Myth Or Fact?

YOGYAKARTA - Waiting for the presence of a baby is a moment that many couples have been waiting for. In an effort to achieve pregnancy, various efforts have been made, including paying attention to sleeping positions after intercourse so that you get pregnant quickly.

Anyone suggests lifting their legs or using pillows to support their hips. However, to what extent is the truth of this myth? Let's discuss more about the relationship between sleeping position and fertility.

Reporting from the infertility page, unfortunately there is no scientific evidence to suggest that lying down or certain sleeping positions after sexual intercourse can increase the chances of pregnancy.

In a large study from Helsinki, participants were asked to immediately move or rest for 15 minutes after intrauterin insemination (procedures to put sperm directly into the uterus).

As a result, about 32% of the groups resting pregnant, while about 40% of the moving groups are also pregnant. The researchers stated that the results were not significant enough to recommend one of the methods.

Although this procedure is different from natural conceptions, the results may still be relevant. Sperma takes about 2 minutes to reach the fallopi tuba by any method. That is, sperm is close to the final goal before you think about getting up.

So, where did this idea come from?

The old hypothesis may be the cause. The theory "poleaxe" states that women need to lie down after sex to reduce sperm loss.

In this theory, orgasm is designed to make you feel sleepy and reduce the chances of you waking up.

While there is no scientific evidence to lie down after sex, it will not harm you. So, how long do you have to wait? In IUI research, participants were asked to wait 15 minutes before waking up, but even shorter times didn't matter.

Sperma can reach the fallopi tuba (where they need to be for fertilization) within 2-10 minutes after your partner is finished and on average, it takes 5 minutes.

You may have been told by relatives or family that lifting your feet over your head or placing pillows under your hips will make you pregnant. Sorry, but this is another myth.

The idea behind this is to help sperm move in the right direction. As previously mentioned, sperm in the womb does not need your help. Sperma will reach the fallopi tuba in a few minutes.

The most important thing you can do is have sex during your fertile period. This is where the importance of planning the time of sexual intercourse is.

In general, urinating after sex is a good idea for helping you avoid urinary tract infections. The concern is that you may 'wash' some sperm and reduce your chances of getting pregnant.

First, urination cannot eliminate all sperm, so you are safe Second, sperm is not affected by what you do, because the mucus you wash is only a mixture of sperm and servical mucus.
