Sperm washing away while soaking in bath????
I am a religious bath taker! We've been trying to conceive for a couple of years and I just had a thought ..... I wonder if the sperm that's in my tract from my fertile period is washing away in the tub??? I get water entrapment from pelvic floor issues, so could water seep up far enough and leak in where the sperm are??? Has anyone heard any information or spoken to their doctor about this or similar?

Idea for you! I used a period cup to keep the sperm up there overnight, some people say it helps keep them close to the cervix and there’s no harm. You could use one while you’re in the tub and even after. Hope that helps!
I’ve watched videos from some doctors on the FLO app that said those little swimmers travel within seconds and that taking a bath afterwards wouldn’t affect it any. Also mentioned the period cups and they said those shouldn’t be use for that purpose but I had always thought the same about baths and such so just do what you feel is best !

If you were to take a bath right after having sex then it will wash away a lot all the stuff in the vagina. But it’s not gonna wash away the stuff that had already gone up into the tubes. I would just wait like 30 min to take a bath or something. But I also find that very gross. Having sex and then having tons of sperm in you and then you bath in it and it just comes out. I would shower first then bathe
