If it is leaking out it is by definition not the good stuff. The good stuff has already been taken up by your uterus.

1st kid waited 30 minutes hips up - took full year to conceive (at age 26). 2nd kid did the same, plus year of fertility treatments to conceive. 3rd (surprise) kid always peed right away to avoid UTIs.

20 min is plenty.

lol. I agree with the two pp's.

Almost immediate pullout and wipe/pee. Pregnant.

A couple minutes. Pregnant twice.

You don't pee? This is a surefire way to get a UTI

I wait 10-15 min with my butt up on a pillow.

I've had 1 UTI in my life, many years ago. I also pee before going to bed/sex, so there is nothing to pee out afterwards. I think you might benefit from researching UTI prevention to see if there is anything that can be done to minimize its recurrence.

I used to lie down after for 20 min with a pillow but then got a raging UTI. Then I tried 10 minutes and it started coming in again. Now I only lie down for 2-5 minutes. Not ideal but better than a UTI.

How about using a position when your husband ejaculates that is conducive to most of the semen not leaking out?

I sometimes don't pee. I have never had a UTI in my life. Some people are more prone to get infections than others.

15-20 minutes is about what I did too when I got pregnant. By the time you stand up after 15-20 minutes, the stuff that falls out isn't any of the "good" stuff that's going to get you pregnant anyway. Good luck!

There have been way more TMI questions on this board so don't worry! I wait about 30 minutes, lying down with hips up. Of course, my TTC attempts haven't succeeded recently, so what do I know.
