S/O Laying Down After Sex

The really annoying co-worker across the hall from me once told me that my H should just stand on the bed, pull my ankles up in the air and shake the sperm down after sex. She has four kids and thinks everyone gets pregnant instantly. 

Like I have on many occasions, I just turned around while she was still talking and walked back to my office. This woman seriously has no filter.

  • Sounds like we've all been doing it wrong this whole time.

    That's okay, the day I told my dad about the m/c he just said "well, you just have sex and make another one."  Yeah, thanks dad.  I wish it were that easy. I tried explaining to him what I was diagnosed with and how we conceived this one.  His response was to just have sex more often.  *palm to face.*
