Q: After I decided to have a baby, I started living a regular life and doing physical examinations. The doctor said that my cervix was relatively narrow and I was worried that sperm wouldn’t be able to pass through it, so I had to use pillows or even do handstands every time I had sex. Will this help me get pregnant? ?
A: Cervical stenosis is not a problem, the key is the angle. If the angle is not good, you need to put a pillow or stand upside down to increase the probability of sperm swimming into the cervix.
● Menstruation is normal, and sperm must be able to pass through the cervix
Once a month, a woman’s endometrium is peeled off and menstruation occurs, which means that the “pipeline” is very smooth. Because sperm are actually very small, you need a microscope to see them. Since the cervix can pass menstrual blood and discharge the lining, sperm can definitely pass through. Therefore, even if the cervix is narrowed again, sperm can pass as long as menstruation is regular. Women who are preparing for pregnancy should get rid of their nervousness and believe in themselves. As long as there are no problems in the examination, they can get pregnant.
● Lying flat will not allow sperm to flow out
After having sex, if a woman lies down normally, she will feel fluid flowing out of her lower body, but this fluid is not sperm. Sperm is ejaculated into the vagina, and after liquefaction, most of the sperm will separate and swim into the uterine cavity like tadpoles. If there is an egg in the uterine cavity at this time, the sperm will naturally combine with the egg and become a fertilized egg. The fertilized egg then swims back into the uterine cavity and implants. So don\’t worry about letting your sperm flow out by lying flat on your back.
● If the angle of the cervix is not good, you need to raise it or stand upside down after intercourse
Some women have a bad angle of the cervix. At this time, you need to take some measures, such as standing upside down or standing upside down. Pads, etc., increase the probability of sperm swimming into the cervix through physical effects. However, do not stand on your head or stand on an elevation for more than 30 minutes. This not only creates certain conditions for the sperm, but also leaves room for them to compete freely, allowing the truly viable sperm to stand out from the competition and combine with the egg.
We need to remind all women who are preparing for pregnancy that it is very normal for the uterus to be in a posterior position and there is no problem. And whether the uterus is in the anterior position or in the posterior position, as long as there are no other symptoms or discomforts, no treatment is needed. Most people can get pregnant successfully, and the pregnancy rate will not be affected.
