Random question

Hi. This may be a rather ridiculous question, but i need to ask it. Will it still be possible for sperm to travel up my fallopian tube, if i walk around straight after ive done the BD. Im just wondering if gravity makes it difficult for them to swim... Hope you can help.

Hehe... Thank u all once again. I did the cushion thing today. And i read 4 an hour! So lets hope those swimmerz are bright enough to do what they do. Iv had trouble ovulating. Though i honestly believe i ovulated today. Im so excytd. Im just staying in bed. Im tired anyway. Those things better swim... !?!?

don't know if it helps to stay laying down or not, it has always just happened for me.  However, after a couple of years of trying, my sisters doctor had her stay in bed for 30 minutes afterwards with her butt raised up with a couple of pillows!!

Gravity has nothing to do with the sperm reaching the egg. They were naturally swim upward toward their destination.

but if you want to insure your chances are better it's better to lay on the bed for 15-20 minutes with your bum raised up....(prop up on pillows)

Gravity can make it harder for them to swim thats why they advise people that are trying to use the missionary position as if us ladies go on top its fighting against gravity!!!!! They do say to lie down and hold your leg up in the air but if this works or not i do not know!!!!!
