Can I get pregnant if I jump up and down after having sex?

Yes, you can get pregnant any time semen gets on the vulva or in the vagina (and you aren’t using birth control) regardless of how you move around afterwards. Sperm are really good swimmers, hiders, and egg finders and jumping won’t keep them from meeting up with an egg.
