A member asked:
Does laying on your back for 15min after sex really help your chances more to get pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, not likely: That is more old wives tale than science. Many women have a vaginal axis that would promote retention of the semen even with ambulation soon after sex. It would make no difference how quickly those women are up after sex. Some women do have a vaginal axis that would cause the semen to run out when standing up - in that case reclining for a short period of time after sex may improve conception.

So if I get the clear gooey stuff when I wipe that doesn't mean I'm pregnant right? Because I'm scared that I could be, I haven't had sex but is it possible to get pregnant if all we did was lay on each other with clothes?
