TMI question - leakage after sex

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Sorry for the TMI question, but since we're dealing with unexplained infertility, I'm trying to rule out any possible issues. 

 

Since DH and I have already conceived once (DS, conceived the first month we tried!), I'm assuming our anatomy is compatible.  But sometimes I wonder if he's not ejaculating high enough inside me - I mean, he's definitely inside me, but when he pulls out afterwards, a lot of fluid comes with him.  I usually stay lying for 5-10 more minutes (although not with my bum elevated), and don't go pee for at least an hour afterwards.  But anyways, I'm just wondering if it's normal to have a fair amount of fluid come out when DH pulls out of me, or if most/all of it should be staying inside?

 

FWIW, DH has a high sperm count, so you'd think that even if only some of the semen stayed inside, it would still contain a lot of sperm. 

 

The reason I am even thinking about this is because the doctor recommended the Conception Kit, which is basically a cervical cup that you fill with your partner's sperm and place on your cervix.  So if we're not getting enough sperm up there, this is something I would consider trying.  I did try using my Diva Cup after sex for a few cycles, with no luck.  But it was also messy and slipped right in, sometimes almost going too high, and I wondered if I was just making things worse because I'd have to pull it out a bit and try to move it into the right position - not easy while you're lying down!

I think it's normal. I've joked with friends how annoying it is to get stuck laying on or rolling over in "the wet spot".  And when I do stand up quite a lot comes out.

Thanks, that's what I thought!  I was pretty sure it was normal, but after reading about the Conception Kit and it's cervical cap, I was wondering if maybe we weren't getting enough sperm up there.
