Hanging Upside Down????

Okay, so I haven't done this yet but I swear that I have seen in a few movies women hanging upside down after intercourse to help the sperm on their merry way. What I have down is stick a pillow under my bum and I stay in this position for about 10 minutes afterwards. My husband must think that I have lost my mind but he knows better than to say anything! Does this... eh hem... 'method' have any truth to it at all or is it only in the movies?

I used to not move out of bed afterward for 20 min or so. I think that lying flat or having your hips slightly elevated is SUPPOSED to help but it took me over a year to get pregnant anyhow.

I always think of all those high school girls under the bleaches that get pregnant. They sure don't sit around afterward

I remember staying elevated on a pillow for a while afterward, but I don't remember if it was something I was told to do or not. (I went through 2 years of infertility treatment)

When I went in a few years ago to the doctor so he can insert my hubby's swimmers into me I had to lay with my behind elevated for 15-20 minutes. I guess if the dr has patients do that I guess there is some truth that it helps.
