If you have a retroverted uterus, you should lie face down, not the other way, cause your cervix will be pointing toward the front. (never did any good for us either way...)

The dipping thing still holds Liz, but you need to lie the other way (y'know, in theory, if it actually does any good).

ok... found my ultrasound report.. mine is anteverted, not retroverted! So a quick google... mine is tipped forward, retroverted is tipped backward.

hmm.. now I'm confused marcellus LOL. anteverted would want to lie face down bum up to dip into the pool wouldn't it?

OK.. so i dared to google orgasm & sperm LOL... and found this interesting book excerpt! The science of orgasm - Google Books It's a link to the search result, just so it takes you to the pages that I was reading. Quite interesting

Doesn't say anything about the position of the uterus, but talks about the dipping of the cervix into the pool and even about how much sperm was in the flowback. Bit scarey that they tested some of these things with radioactive particles.. eesh.. bags not being the guinea pig!

Ah, if your uterus is anteverted your cervix will tip backwards, as per usual. If your uterus is retroverted, your cervix will tip forewards. Make sense?

hmm.... googled again LOL... yep... anteverted means the top of uterus is tipped forward.. meaning cervix tips towards the spine. I get ya now! This whole forward backward thing is confusing! LOL.

Oh hun. I'm sure all of us when TTC have tried and done this. So you aren't being silly by doing it. I'm not sure if it works or not, but in theory it should. Another thing don't get up from bed after DTD, stay in bed for as long as you can.
If you have an old towel or something like that, cut it in half or into 3 and place it ontop of your pillow to absorb any leaking fluid.

I am hoping that you conceive soon hun. I am so looking forward to your preg announcement.
