My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the first time. Everytime we have sex I lay there for a while so that it gives the sperm more time to flow to where it needs to go. When I get up sperm runs out of my vagina and when I pee it comes out even more, if this keeps up how am I ever going to get pregnant? Or what can I do to keep the sperm in me?
Hallow Dear, You need not be as concerned about out flowing of semen after intercourse. Some amount of semen always flows out. The total semen ejaculated in the vagina is about 5 ml of which hardly 1 ml flows out. Moreover, the first bout of ejaculation comes out with a forceful spurt which directly enters the uterine cavity through the cervix. You may monitor your ovulation to locate the day of ovulation. This can be done by ultrasonography or by a home ovulation monitoring kit. Once you locate the day of ovulation, try to have your marital relations on and around the day of the ovulation keeping in mind that the egg has life of 24 hours and sperms are active for 72 hours. I hope this helps you.
