Am I Sabotaging My Attempts to get Pregnant?

August 8, 2004

i PEE EVERTIME AFTER TOO AND I JUST HAD A NEW BABY. THIS IS MY 5TH PREGNANCY

SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AT ALL. GOOD LUCK TTC AND

TRY TO RELAX AND LET NATURE TAKE IT'S COURSE. IT IS VERY STRESSFUL WHEN YOU

ARE TRYING TO BECOME PREGNANT, I KNOW, I TRIED FOR 8 YEARRS WITH INFERTILTY

TREATMENTS AND DROVE MYSELF NUTS WHEN THEY DID NOT WORK, MY PREGNANCIES WERE

AFTER

I QUIT TRYING AND RELAXED A LITTLE.

---------------------------------

I read somewhere that " peeing " after sex helps keep the vagina " clean " and

prevents UTI's caused by sex?

I would say .. go pee quickly and then assume the " stand on your head "

position!!

Good luck.

Okay.. there is one other thing.. on the days your are trying to get preggo..

dh can just 'do his thing' and you can get yours later.... Just let him make

his 'deposit'..

I know.. so romantic.. LOL

I have a question. I always have to pee after I have an orgasm. I pee

prior to having sex, but still end up having to pee, no matter what.

The problem is, I am trying to get pregnant and I'm worried that

peeing afterward will negate that. I cannot hold it in, it's urgent

pee, but I am scared I won't get pregnant if I keep having to do this.

Any advice???

Since I don't know your educational background, I will try to explain

this in terms anyone can understand, I just dont want you to think I

am talking down to you or anything.

If you are fertile and have no fertility issues, pee all you want,

before or after sex. lol

You pee out of a different hole than where your partner's spermies

went into, so by peeing, you aren't washing them away or preventing

yourself from getting pregnant by peeing.

The *idea* behind NOT getting up right after sex to pee, is that with

you remaining lying/hips elevated etc, is that you are giving the

sperm a boost toward your ovaries/tubes where your egg is/will be

soon. With that being said, in the 9 months that I was TTC, I stayed

in bed, hips up on pillows and didn't get up to pee for 30-45 minutes,

I ended up with 4 urinary tract infections. I suggest you drink lots

of cranberry juice while TTC to help with this problem.

If you are just beginning TTC, I suggest you buying your own copy of

Toni Weschler's book, " Taking Charge of Your Fertility " . You can also

borrow it, but it was my TTC Bible and I wouldn't have wanted to give

it back.

nothing like having a timeline to get pregnant to increase your stress

level! lol (all laughing aside, I was exactly where you are now once

and it's no *lol'ing* matter!)

You'll love that book. It was sooooooooooo educational and

informational for me and I thought I knew alot about " how to get

pregnant " BEFORE I read her book (I'm a L & D RN). Her book explains

things on a natural level, what is supposed to happen in our bodies

and how we can tell if it is or if it isn't happening the way God

intended. Are your period cycles always 28 days apart or do you have

irregular cycles? I bought a fertility monitor then realized that

since my period is every 28 days like clockwork, and we were having

sex every day from days 10-18 of my cycle, the fertility mnitor

wouldn't help me at all to tell me when to have sex, b/c we were

already having sex those days. lol

Some OB's suggest having sex just every other day, but since my

hubby's semen analysis came back with extremely high concentration of

sperm, he told us we could have sex every day. My hubby didn't

complain the first few months, then he said he felt *used* (LOL)- like

he cared, right? lol

take a look at the picture on my profile. After reading and doing

nearly anything and everything to get pg, this was the product of our

conception!!

I'm biased, but he's mighty purty to us!

lol

Best wishes TTC!!!
