Introduction
There’s no definitive “best” sex position for getting pregnant, some positions are believed to increase the chances of conception by allowing for deeper penetration, which may help sperm get closer to the cervix.
The most effective time to have sex is during your fertile window. Your fertile window lasts for up to six days every month. Ovulation is a key phase in the menstrual cycle when an ovary releases a mature egg (ovum).
Eggs will survive for about a day once released. But sperm can survive for up to a week in your uterus. You are most likely to conceive if you have sex every two to three days throughout your cycle.
Sex positions for getting pregnant
There are lots of myths or misconceptions about whether certain sex positions are more or less likely to help you get pregnant. But research shows that you can get pregnant by having sex in almost any position.
once the sperm enters your vagina, it travels to the fallopian tubes in a matter of minutes to fertilize the egg. So, more than the position you have sex in, timing your intercourse during a fertile window is most effective when you’re trying to get pregnant.
Some think that the semen is more likely to stay in your vagina and around your cervix if you’re lying down after sex. However, there are millions of sperm in every ejaculation, so there should be plenty in your vagina even if you do stand up straight afterward and some fall out.
still if you feel like giving this a try, stay in bed for up to half an hour.
Tips for Conception:
- Lie Still After Intercourse: After ejaculation, the woman might lie on her back with her hips slightly elevated for about 10-15 minutes to allow sperm to move toward the cervix.
- Frequency of Intercourse: Engage in intercourse every 1-2 days during the fertile window (the days leading up to and including ovulation) to maximize the chances of conception.
- Stress Reduction: Reducing stress through relaxation techniques, a healthy diet, and regular exercise can improve overall fertility.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol, and a poor diet, can positively affect fertility for both partners.
