Hubs and I have been trying some new stuff too, haha, so I've been worried about how that's affecting my chances, so THANK YOU for posting that! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-178203 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 12:05:42 +0000 photojane 178203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha i love this thread. since we weren't actively trying, i haven't been doing any butt lifting. we were trying some new stuff (tmi?) so we actually leaked quite a bit every time we did the deed. and, hey, we still got pregnant this month! i think when he "goes" that's when his little swimmers race toward the finish line. the stuff that leaks is unimportant. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-178191 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:56:13 +0000 JoJoGirl 178191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahah this thread is so awesome because 1) it exists and 2) i read the title and said "YES I HAVE THAT PROBLEM TOO!". &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-178184 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:48:12 +0000 Alivoo01 178184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: I thought it was TMI, but I needed to know what I was doing wrong. I want a sticky baby and every little bit helps. haha! Plus, the ladies here are always so helpful and non-judgmental so I went for it. Glad it helped some others out too! Made me feel better about "oversharing". :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176184 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:06:33 +0000 MrsCastro 176184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thank you @Alivoo01!!!</p> <p>i laughed a little when i frist read this...as i have been trying to come up with a way to ask this question...i hought we were doing something wrong....LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176183 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:05:43 +0000 MaisyMay 176183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also had one pillow designated just for this task. It has a pillow case that is washed quite often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176177 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 11:58:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 176177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is disgusting and hilarious. </p> <p>And, to be perfectly honest, I was just thinking about the leakage and propping this morning (we aren't TTC for a couple more months). My plan was to keep an old towel next to the bed and put it down over the pillow. I like my pillows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176153 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 11:46:46 +0000 MaisyMay 176153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd usually prop for about 5 minutes. Try clenching or doing Kegels, even crossing your ankles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176104 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:58:06 +0000 Adira 176104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Ah ha! THAT explains it! Thank you so much! I had no idea! I thought all my efforts were being wasted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176101 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:51:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 176101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@adira I remember reading somewhere that after 20-30 minutes the semen goes from being sticky to more liquid because all of the healthy sperm should be in the cervix by then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176096 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:49:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 176096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take an old rag and use it to hold the stuff in. Then my husband helps me put undies on while I'm getting propped up. It keeps the stuff from running down my legs and makes cleaning up later easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176045 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:19:55 +0000 hilsy85 176045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used a tissue to help stop things up until I went to the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176040 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:17:14 +0000 DillonLion 176040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah just be prepared to get new pillow cases if you are using a pillow to prop. There's always some leakage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176037 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:16:06 +0000 Adira 176037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: What's even worse than the leakage when you're propped up is when you've been laying there for 30 minutes and then you get up to use the restroom and it feels like EVERYTHING just comes drizzling out!!! WTF is with that!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-176032 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:13:05 +0000 Alivoo01 176032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad to know I wasn't doing it <i>completely</i> wrong. haha!</p> <p>@Minnie_Girl: Good point! I'll be sure to tuck in my core and see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-175872 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:55:13 +0000 heffalump 175872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would always have leaking propped or not. We freaked out and looked it up online. Everything said it was normal and the sperms shoot up and in and enough get in there that it still works. I still was able to get pregnant twice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-175865 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:52:51 +0000 littlebug 175865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think, no matter what you do and how long you prop, you're going to have oozing. There's only so many places for that stuff to go. I read once that propping doesn't really do much, anyway - when the guy ejaculates, all the important stuff is right up there by the cervix and will get where it needs to be pretty much right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-175860 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:49:42 +0000 Minnie_Girl 175860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally didn't try this--I always made a deposit at the porcelain sperm bank ASAP--but it could be that you're tilting your hips out. (When you stand with proper posture your hips should be parallel to the ground, like a bowl, not tipped forward with your booty sticking out.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-175859 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:46:09 +0000 mrs. bird 175859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, yup, but I think all the important stuff starts to migrate up and the dribble isn't a big deal. I've read about people using instead cups (disposable period catcher cups kinda like a diaphragm) to hold it all up closer to your cervix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-175858 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:43:53 +0000 SleepyMonkey 175858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Always happens. But! I think some stays up there and that is enough. We conceived by getting busy 3 days before i ovulated. Dont worry too much about it. All you need is one swimmer to make his way there and hang out for awhile :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-175857 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:42:28 +0000 Mrs. Blue 175857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, too!! I'm glad i'm not the only butt-propping failure. I think I must not have the technique right. Maybe I just need to have a higher angle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/propped-butt-and-leakage#post-175845 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:32:02 +0000 Alivoo01 175845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's been a few threads floating around the past few days about propping your butt up and it's been a "successful" technique in getting a sticky baby. Average propped up reported time around the hive was 15-20 minutes. I tried this technique the other night and about a minute of having my butt propped up/feet up in the air, it started oozing out. #fail</p> <p>Does anyone have leakage/trickling while their butt it propped up? </p>
