hello steemit friend today I want to share information that is very interesting to read and this you should know especially for newlyweds and for friends of friends who have not had offspring in marriage.
couples (couples) who immediately want to have offspring, usually do anything to increase the chances of pregnancy. One is lifting the wife's legs like a candle shape on the floor gym for a few minutes.
But, really lifting the wife's leg after sex can increase the chances of getting pregnant? Reported from the page Healthista, it turns out the belief is a myth. In fact, lying down is even more effective in increasing the chances of pregnancy in the wife.
A randomized, controlled trial published in the British Medical Journal in 2009 examined 400 couples. They are being artificially inseminated and find that women who lie for at least 15 minutes have a 50 percent greater chance of getting pregnant than those who wake up, stand or walk.
"The same may be true for increasing the chances of getting pregnant after sex," said Dr. Gabrielle Downey, consultant gynecologist and obstetrician at BMI Hospital Birmingham, UK Healthista quoted.
However, even if she does not need to lift your legs, you can help the process. "The womb of a woman is slightly inclined forward, so if you tilt your hips up a bit, say by putting a pillow under your lower back while the wife is lying down, the sperm will have a closer distance to the uterus," explains Dr. Downey.
"Sperm effectively travels downhill and requires less energy to get where they want (egg-red)," he added.
But, why should at least 15 minutes? Post-sex sperm must enter the uterus, explore it and through the fallopian tubes, Dr Downey explains.
"I really recommend lying down for half an hour after having sex to get better, to make sure the procession has enough time to happen," advises Dr Downey.
After that, gravity is less important for sperm movement when the fallopian tube has an inward rhythmic motion that helps the movement of sperm.
