Ok, there always seems to be a lot of leakage after sex. Not sure if anyone else experiences this and if so is their anything you do to keep it to a minimal??? I know it is gross but just wondering if anyone else has had this happen? Thanks for the help.

its normal and my doc says don't do anything to stop it. Just lay there for 20-30 minutes and the good stuff will make it.

I found this quote:


"To optimize your chances of getting pregnant, after your partner ejaculates, remain on your on your back with your hips elevated for 20-30 minutes. Usually putting a pillow under your rear and lifting your legs up helps. Main reason for that being is with legs up gravity is playing a part in pulling the sperm down towards the egg. If you stood up shortly after ejaculation gravity pulls the sperm down. Even after 30 minutes if you stood up and you felt leakage don't worry, there are over a thousand sperm in one ejaculation, keeping your legs up for 30 minutes gave a good amount a chance to fertilize the egg.:-)

Having your husband drink caffeine 30 minutes before sex gets his blood circulation flowing from the adrenaline produced by the caffeine which in turn causes more sperm production and stronger stamina."

Since we're on the subject, how do you tests your cm the next morning after a night of fun? I mean, if you have all of his stuff in you, how do you know what's his and what's yours when trying to decide what your cm looks like during time of ovulation. Is that a stupid question?

not a stupid question at all! i was wondering the same thing, after a night of BD... the only CM i could get was leftover semen! lol! so i didn't count it until later that day, when i checked again- it was still EW anyway, so it didn't make much of a difference.

anyone who has a better idea than checking later, next day, we'd LOVE to hear how you do it!

Boy, this must be the question of the day! Semen is water soluble. So if you are questioning it, put a little water on it. If it is still there, it is cm. Otherwise it was seman. (From TCOYF, sorry no page number!)
