Answer Friday!

OK, Quiz Kids!

Thanks for all of the answers to the quiz.

Here is the answer to the Monday Quiz:

Which method below will help you to get pregnant?

A.) Taking Robitussin Cough Syrup before trying to conceive.

B.) Rubbing the belly of a pregnant woman.

C.) Lying with your feet over your head after sex.

D.) The Missionary position

E.) All of the above

F.) None of the above

According to eDoctoronline.com, the correct answer is D!

"There’s a better way to do it. While no sexual positions actually prevent you from getting pregnant, doing it the old-fashioned way can help. According to Felicia Stewart, M.D., of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, "No matter what the position, sperm can be found in the cervical canal within seconds after ejaculation. But still, it can’t hurt to get the sperm close to the cervix using positions that permit reasonably deep penetration, like the missionary [position]."

Sorry everyone...the Robitussin thing and the legs over the head thing are myths. I think I even tried the Robitussin but it didn't do much for moi.

So, since none of you were correct, I'll give the prize to the first person who answered...Kathy! Huzzah!

So...who knew that one of the most boring positions would be considered the most helpful in getting pregnant?

Of course for those dealing with infertility, this position can be maddeningly boring because we're doing it all the danged time!! There's little truth to the idea that trying to get pregnant is fun especially when it's not working month after month. Frustrations abound, we take the Robitussin because we've heard it thins the cervical mucus, we put our butts on pillows because we've heard that the sperm will swim faster, stronger...more bionically to the uterus...

Or maybe we are rubbing the bellies of pregnant women just to get some good...what do they call it? Baby dust? Of course, you'd better be careful about whose belly you rub...you may get a smack in the eye...and not from the mother!

So, the good ole Missionary Position...good for Missionaries...bad for the infertile...
