A lot of times, couples complained about seeing sperm coming out of the vaginal after sexual intercourse which is actually a big problem especially when it comes to having to give birth while having infertility issues.
🔵Sperm leakage/involuntary emission of sperm in women is called Eda in Yoruba language, it is regarded as normal.
🔵When your partner ejaculates in you, the semen is a combination of sperm (only about 2-5% of the total volume) and other liquids from your partner’s reproductive system which help energize and keep the sperm safe from the sometimes harsh vaginal environment.
🔵After ejaculation, the original thickness of the semen will transform from a gel like consistency to a more liquid form within about 20 minutes. This liquefaction helps the sperm cells to swim more freely through the cervical mucus and towards the egg.
🔵The leakage of the semen after sex occurs in everyone and is not a sign that the sperm are “falling out”. By the time you notice the back flow of semen, the sperm, contained in the semen, have had plenty of time to travel through the cervical opening and are on their way to your egg.
So, Pregnancy Is Still Possible?
You can still certainly become pregnant, even if it feels like ‘everything’ is coming out afterwards. The strongest and fastest sperm will have stayed behind and be well on their way to fertilize your egg by the time you stand up or go to the bathroom after having sex. While it is worrisome, you only need one very strong and quick sperm to fertilize your egg. For a man with normal sperm count, each ejaculation has at least 20 million sperm in it! This means that even if most of the sperm does leak out of you, there will still be a large number of sperm still swimming around inside you. Trying to get pregnant causes a lot of stress and concern. You should remove sperm leakage from your list of worries. It really isn’t something to worry about.

✅Placing a pillow under her hips
After intercourse, place a couple of pillows under your hips to elevate them. This technique utilizes gravity to help those little swimmers swim faster to reach the cervix and move into the uterus and fallopian tubes rather than leaking out. This also helps as it also provides a deeper penetration and allow the penis to reach far inside you.

Immediately after sex, never stand up, ensure that your man still stays inside until his penis gets flaccid, then he can rise up. Lying in bed for 10 to 15 minutes after intercourse can help provide ample time for the sperm to reach the cervix.
✅Not getting into the right sexual position
✅Having sex in the missionary or rear-entry position may be more beneficial to couples trying to conceive.
Getting into the right sexual position that helps to prevent sperm leakage goes a long way to helping the sperm to remain in the vagina for a longer time.
✅The best position is still the missionary position as that allows for deeper penetration and also helps to the sperm to stay longer
This is why this is the recommended available position especially for couples looking to get pregnant.
Another position that is also good for deeper penetration and also helping the sperm to stay longer is when you are in the doggy position.
Any other position that you might be engaged in might actually not get as much result as these two popular and simple position listed above. These positions ensure that the sperm is deposited close to the cervix.
✅Just remember, only one good sperm is needed, so it is perfectly OK if some leak out after having sex. If you know that you are in your fertile phase and are ovulating, or at least close to ovulating, then do try to have intercourse as much as possible. AND before you know it, you are already pregnant!
