The Legs Up Method.

[MissJuly10]

Who uses this?

I did it every time we BDed last cycle and it didn't work for me but I've read of lots of women it HAS worked for so perhaps it does help in some way.

I haven't done this method at all this cycle - wondered if anyone else is?

I have never used it hunny and i fell pregnant first cycle of trying both times, but i do know it worked for some of the ladies on here. I think its down to what you feel confortable with but personally i really couldnt be bothered sticking my legs in the air when i could be having cuddles from my OH x x

I agree actually. This cycle is SO much more relaxed and we're loving it. Can't believe I'm CD32 (or 33??) already as well, its flown by and I think a lot of it is that we've scrapped some of the stuff that was stressing us out.

I think the L.U way is great for those who want to try something different, after all, it CAN work but for me personally, after spending one whole cycle doing it, I don't think I'd want to do it again really. Personal preference I guess!

Hey MissJuly.

I've never done the legs up and same as M2A got BFP without it

But as you say it has helped many other women so it's always worth a try, it won't do any harm anyway.

 

[MissJuly10]

Yeah, everything is worth a try at least once eh? x

iv read somewhere that it only takes the sperm 8.something minutes to get where its got to get to so i just stay laid down for them 8 mins not dash off to the loo.

i cant remeber where i read this though it could have well been on this forum lol, or along my research travels

i dont use it either lol ..... i cant be bothered to be sat there with legs in air but sometimes if were in position i know it wil all fall out i make OH keep it in for a while longer than usual lol

 

[MissJuly10]

Lol Minxie, I do the same thing!

I remember when we first got married, how I would dash to the loo to *ahem* clean up because we weren't TTC. I kick myself now though because I wonder if I'd have been lucky enough to have gotten a BFP in our first month.

 

[Nurse 26]

You always here different amounts of time to lie down for dont u? i'm lucky if it's 10minutes then i jump up and am off to the loo. Its weird you always worry about all these little things that are going to affect them getting through,

 

[Mummy2Adam]

If i concieved the day i thought i did last time, i fell asleep without nipping off to the loo so those spermies definately got chance to swim (tmi) x x

hmm, i had no idea what day i concieved last time but i always get up after so guess they must have just been strong swimmers

 

[MissJuly10]

I always fall asleep if I can. If I really, really can't then I wait at least 20 mins. x

I've paid my legs up dues this month but really I'm a loo-dasher so it's not going to last lol!!

And MissJ I hear u on the can't believe it's CD25 (33 for u) thing - so much nicer when you think ooh is it that far already xxx

 

[MissJuly10]

I used to be a loo dasher too but when we decided we defo wanted a baby, I stopped.

Ah I know, it's gone SO quickly, I love it, it doesn't feel half as painful as my last cycle lol! x x

I too am a loo dasher. I always need to pee before bed - nightmare! I try to do it before bed and then fall asleep! Have tried legs up in past but only for a minute or two. It's too much hassle! This month I opted for pillow under bum, but even then I wasn't sure if it was a good position - whether it should be under my bum, bottom part of bum, lower back, etc. Too much thinking! Lol.xxx

I'm a before bed weer too!! Wish I wasn't.
And yes about the optimum position - never sure it's actually tilting right way haha! Xx

 

[MissJuly10]

I didn't think the cushion under the bum really elevated my hips - perhaps that's why it didn't work.

I used to fiddle with the positioning of it as well, never could make my mind up where it should go! x

 

[Tracey M]

Damn, I said I was not gonna post on TTC....lol

This month I did the pillow under bum. Large (fat) pillow and tilted my pelvis so my lower back was on bed. Well, worked for me!!

 

[MissJuly10]

Now I'm going to want to do the pillow under the bum method!



How are you Tracey hun? x

 

[linxminx21]
