Leaking After Sex

hi me and my wife are trying for a baby at the moment and was just wondering if it was normal after ejaculation into the women for her to leak. would this stop us conceiving? thanks

Yin's Answer

No this wouldn't stop you conceiving at all. It is perfectly normal for some of a man's ejaculate to come back out of a woman after sex.

Though some sperm do go up into the womb, they make up only a tiny proportion of the man’s ejaculate. So the great bulk of the fluid can't do anything else but 'run' out.

Since the average man produces about 5ml of sex liquid, it follows that getting on for 5ml will come out again. Female secretions will add a little to this volume. But really it is nothing to worry about...good luck!

Yang's Answer

Unfortunately for us girls that wierd feeling when ejaculate starts to creep back out after sex is perfectly normal and will not affect conception at all.

Like Yin says- the sperm is only actually a tiny part of the fluid ejaculated so the rest of it has to come out somewhere. However he little swimmers will still find their way into the womb. Good luck and have fun trying to make a baby :-)
