Well not about positions... but the month that everyone laid for ages afterwards with legs up the wall and/or hips on a pillow, there was an awful lot of BFP!

Bahaha .. I recall doing that when Issy was late .. as apparently the sperm does "something" to help bring on labour. I lay there for ages .. and still NOTHING lol

LOL, that's right. There were a whole lot of us who either had the legs up the wall or pillows under the hips afterwards and we had a lot of BFP's that month

So should you try not to let any come out? I usually go to the toilet after BD and it comes out, so is that bad?
Also how long should you do the pillow thing for?

Also I've heard if you both "O" at the same time it increases the chances cause it sucks it up or something....or is that just a myth?

Yep I can say I was a legs up the wall girl and we conceived the same month lol
Yes Jane that's what Dr Shettles says too.. apparently it increases your chances of conceiving a boy as the y sperm gets 'there' quicker if you 'O'. Just like the legs up the wall thing, supposed to get it there quicker.
It's recommended you staying lying down (if that's the position you were in  ) for 20 mins unless you have a history of UTI's.
For Jack, and this is TMI, we did a lot of *ahem* doggy (don't ask me why) and when we conceived this one it was a lot of missionary as we were having a wee game of trying to conceive a girl. I'll let you all know in 3ish months if we won the game

yep "deep penetration" and orgasims are recommended for ttc a boy! The "O" creates more alkaline conditions to help those boy sperm along.
you can do pelvic floor exercises to get "it" out - helps to get rid of it so you don't confuse it with CM if you are monitoring that.
Good luck for a girl emz! We are playing that game for a boy atm

Just to throw a spanner in the works, my specialist at FA said that there is no position that makes it easier for the sperm to reach its target. And re the lying with your legs up thing, when the man ejaculates, that alone gets enough sperm in the right place to do their thing if the egg is ready to go. She said that by the time you stick your legs up the sperm that is going to have any chance of fertilizing an egg will already be where it needs to be. (please excuse my very technical terms...)
Still in saying that, I still stay lying down with my pelvis raised for a few minutes, just in case ;)

I agree...don't think it matters what position you're in cause the ejaculation is what gets it "up there".
LOL..this thread is bound to get a lot of reads just from the title...
