Is it true that you should remain lying down after sex to become pregnant? or does it make a difference?

TTC: If you want to increase the numb of sperm that make it into the uterus, laying there for a half hour allows the ejaculate to liquefy and the sperm to swim into the uterus. But, women get pregnant all the time without this maneuver.
