Best Sex Positions To Get Pregnant

Curious about the best sex positions to get pregnant? Once a couple decides that it is time to start a family, they should keep in mind the best sex positions to get pregnant. Women who are trying to conceive often try many different old wives tales to help them become pregnant, such as herbal remedies and special sex positions. While there is no scientific evidence that proves a link between the position used in sex and becoming pregnant, there is some truth to the theory. Certain sex positions give gravity a bit of a helping hand to aid the sperm in reaching the intended destination. Any position that allows the semen to remain in the vagina rather than leaking out is helpful, but some sex positions are better than others for getting pregnant.

1. Missionary. The old standby, missionary position is actually the best sex position when trying to conceive. The position allows for deeper penetration to place the sperm nearer to the cervix. It also helps the sperm to stay in place since she is lying on her back. Placing a pillow or folded blanket under her hips will also help to elevate her uterus and make her cervix easier to reach.
   
2. Doggy Style. This is good news for men everywhere. The rear-entry sex position allows him to penetrate more deeply, thus planting the sperm closer to its destination. Not to mention the good view.
3. Side by Side. Sex with both of you lying on your sides provides optimal access to the cervix. This works best if both people have their legs bent at least slightly and can help increase the chances of getting pregnant.

All of these positions work better if the woman remains prone for at least fifteen minutes after intercourse. This will give the sperm time to reach the egg before gravity pulls it away when she is upright. Any sex positions that work against gravity, such as woman on top, should be avoided.
