Can standing upside down after sex really help you get pregnant?

In today's film and television dramas, there are more and more plots about preparing for pregnancy, pregnancy, and childbirth. Whenever the heroine in the play tries every possible means to have a child, the editor is thinking, is it really reliable to do so? I believe that many viewers have also seen on the screen scenes where women remain upside down after sex in order to get pregnant quickly. We have previously comprehensively analyzed the “72 Sex Positions”, but is standing upside down after sex really useful? Today, bring your curiosity and follow the editor to find out.

In fact, doing a handstand after sex is the most difficult action. There are people who are desperate to have a child and even risk twisting their necks while doing a handstand. They believe that standing upside down can help with pregnancy, which is the same consideration as raising the hips after intercourse. They are also worried that when the penis is withdrawn, most of the semen will flow away and cause loss, thus reducing the pregnancy rate. It is believed that the inverted posture can make better use of gravity and create favorable conditions for sperm to swim into the uterus with minimal effort.

It only takes one or two minutes for sperm to reach the fallopian tube and combine with the egg, but it can be said that it has to go through many levels, such as the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina, cervical mucus, the uterus-fallopian tube connection, and even progesterone can affect the delivery of sperm. The mechanism is very complicated. If there is a problem in any link, the sperm may be wiped out. It is far from being possible to achieve successful pregnancy by simply increasing a little gravity.

Doctors suggest: Harmonious sex can help pregnancy

Many couples who have been suffering from infertility for a long time will place their hopes for successful conception on doctors. In fact, a harmonious relationship between husband and wife and a good mentality are the cornerstones of pregnancy. Negative emotions can affect the endocrine function of the human pituitary-gonadal axis, thereby changing the level of hormone secretion. Changes in hormone levels can in turn make pregnancy more difficult. In such a vicious cycle, pregnancy becomes a distant dream.

Some couples have heard that headstand can help with pregnancy, so after every intercourse the wife does headstand and the husband helps her lift her legs. Both of them are exhausted and intercourse becomes a burden. The original intention was to help with pregnancy, but it may have the opposite effect. In the days of preparing for conception, couples should pay special attention to emotional communication, relax, and make sex more passionate and fun, so as to truly help pregnancy.

Other weird tricks to get pregnant

Lying down in the same room

Some people have come up with the trick of "having sex while lying prone" in order to keep the uterus in an anterior position so that the cervix can be soaked in semen, which is beneficial for sperm to enter the uterus, thus naturally increasing the chances of conception.

Expert comment: Among normal women, about 60% have an anteverted uterus and about 40% have a retroverted uterus. In the absence of disease factors, you can get pregnant naturally regardless of whether the uterus is tilted anteriorly or retroverted, and there is no need to change your body position to increase the chance of pregnancy. For retroverted uterus caused by certain diseases such as pelvic adhesions and endometriosis, having sex while lying prone will not increase the chance of pregnancy. Of course, using the doggy position to increase sexual interest between couples is another matter.

Elevate your hips after sex

The reason for raising the buttocks after intercourse is that many people are worried that after men ejaculate, most of the semen will flow out of the vagina, which will result in too great a loss. By raising your buttocks, you can keep semen in the vagina longer, and more sperm will enter the uterine cavity.

Expert comment: Someone once did an experiment. If you want to soak a woman's cervix in liquid, the amount of liquid in the vagina must reach more than 30 ml. Which man can ejaculate so much semen at one time? There are hundreds of millions of sperms in a man's ejaculation. Only less than 100 of them may enter the uterus and finally reach the fallopian tube. The sperm that can finally combine with the egg has won after going through untold hardships and layers of tests. After a sperm combines with the egg, it will inhibit the penetration of other sperms.

It is meaningless to tell how long semen stays in a woman's body. On the contrary, from a health point of view, one should urinate and clean after sex to reduce the probability of urinary tract infection.
