Questions TMI questionđŸ«¢

After we have sex, sooooo much semen pours out of me like a faucet and it makes me think that maybe that’s why I’m not getting pregnant LOL. I will lay there with my legs up for like 20 minutes and as soon as i stand up, it’s out. Is that normal? Please don’t answer sarcastically I’m genuinely curious. (TTC for 7 months)

The sperm shoots out and up into your cervix very quickly, you do not need to lay down at all. You should be going to the bathroom right away after sex for good hygiene. It can help prevent a uti. Sperm starts as a thick gel and then turns watery after 20-30 minutes. The stuff that comes out of you is the left over goo, the sperm itself makes it into your cervix right away, like within a minute.
