Oh no! - **BIG TMI**

I have 1 friend who CONSTANTLY tells me that they tried for a year, and then she was told by a friend to raise her pelvis in the air for 10 minutes after DTD. I'm getting really desperate lately, so tonight, after DTD, I got DH to help me put my legs up against the bedhead and put a couple of pillows under my bum. Believe me, I may never get over the embarrassment

*****TMI*****

However, 15 minutes later - I wanted to make extra sure - I got up, and there's a puddle on my pillow!

I don't understand how that would happen - has DH got gravity-defying swimmers?!

Has anyone else done this successfully? OR, has anyone done this UNsuccessfully, so I don't feel like such a dork???

LOL, thanks MM! By hearing my friend talk, you'd think it was the ONLY way to get pregnant

EDIT - Thanks Mirabelle - maybe I should just put a plastic sheet down?

Ah why not....plastic sheet..easy to clean....no sheet changing!

Lol it didn't work for my XP and I... and I used to hang out with my feet against the headboard for a good half hour just to make sure!!
Keep trying though, it can't hurt to give it a go

Good luck hun!!

I have been doing this of late quite a bit...but for the opposite reason - to try and get labour moving. And each and every time I find I have leaked a bit, so I tend to put a towel down before DTD - I think it's the fact that when you lift your bum up, even if you have help, you are using some of your stomach/pelvic muscles to do so and they tend to push some of the 'good stuff'

out

Hubby must have thought you REALLY loved him - some women put their husband's aftershave on their pillows.....you put a little bit of him on there

Good luck with it all x
