Need some advice

Hello,

I am new to all of this site. I'm trying to get pregnant and was wondering what position is the best result to get pregnant and any good ovulation apps for phones or iPads? Any advice would help! Thanks

The position doesn't matter.

Most people here use Fertility Friend to chart. Any apps that just guess when you're fertile based on cycle length are useless. The only way to really know when you ovulated is to chart your basal body temperature every morning.

Check out the newbie link here. It's got a lot of useful information.

fertilityfriend.com.

the best position is the one that results in sperm hooking up with an egg.

As far as apps I did not really use one, but I do know my body and the general time I ovulate. So when DH and I were TTC, we made sure we had sex every other day for about 12 days straight. Sounds exhausting? It was, haha! But it was fun and exciting. I was counting that one of those times would stick. And it did! Good luck to you and have fun while TTC!

The best app is the kind that lets you chart your basal body temperature to confirm ovulation. Nothing else will be as accurate. Most of us here use Fertility Friend.

As for position, any way you want it :)

Also in favor of Fertility Friend. If you sign up you get a free trial of their VIP version and decently often you'll see posts on here about deep discounts if you "like" them on facebook (like $25 for the year) but many also use the free, basic version. Good luck!

The best positions are the ones in which the bits and pieces are put together.  Otherwise specifics don't matter.

That doesn't really matter either. I do tend to lay around for 5-10 minutes unless I really have to pee. If you want to get up, just get up. The strong, healthy sperm are already well on their way to where they need to go.

You might want to check out What to Expect Before You're Expecting. It gives you lots of good info about things like this and timing, etc.

There's no reason to do that (unless you want a UTI). The strong swimmers will already be where they are supposed to be.

Unnecessary and you could end up with a UTI. Get up and pee. No need to lay in bed, and definitely no need to prop up your hips.

I like to do about 48 hours, but my boss started to think that was "interfering with my ability to do my job".  So, now I just get up and pee.

Lots of research shows you have a better chance of getting pregnant if you actually orgasm during sex. So try to make sure you're enjoying it and not just popping one off to get KU.

But the orgasm would have to be after he finishes, right?  I assume the sperm have to be in there first :P

She only asked because if it was, you might want to change it.  There are a lot of creepers out there in the world of the interwebs.  If you use your real full name, it'd be pretty easy to find you.

assumption based on 'stephy' and 'catanzaro'.

Like slappy said, there are some major whackos around here. If you stick around, and that actually is your name, change it. Ive seen husbands, bosses, sisterinlaws, and others contacted because they are easily found on the Internet.
