Are There Sex Positions to Get Pregnant?

Do sex positions affect pregnancy?

While trying to conceive, women often search for the best sexual positions for pregnancy, thinking that they may discover new acrobatic positions that will cause pregnancy immediately. There is no scientific relation between the sexual position chosen by the couple and the occurrence of pregnancy. Fertility is affected by many factors related to men and women and is not limited to the sex position. But since, scientifically, pregnancy occurs after the sperm meets the egg that is ready for fertilization, fertility experts recommend some positions that help the sperm arrive directly.

The best sex positions for pregnancy

Missionary position

When the woman is lying on her back while the man is on top of her, this position allows the penis to enter as far into the cervix as possible, which increases the likelihood of sperm reaching the top of the cervical opening, and then to the egg. This position also ensures that the woman remains lying down for some time after completing intercourse while raising her pelvis with a comfortable pillow to retain the semen for a sufficient period to allow the sperm to swim towards its goal.

From behind position

It is when the woman is lying on all fours, and the man enters her from behind. This position ensures deep penetration and that the penis reaches the highest point in the cervix so that the sperm swim a shorter distance towards the egg that will fertilize it.

When should you have intercourse to get pregnant?

Tracking ovulation is one of the most critical steps in preparing for pregnancy, and knowing fertile days is essential to facilitate pregnancy. When determining the ovulation period, it is important to have intercourse every day of this period to increase the possibility of pregnancy.

How often should you have sex to get pregnant?

Fertility experts recommend having sexual intercourse once a day on every ovulation day. Intercourse must not be programmed and devoid of emotions and excitement, as this will negatively impact the couple and may affect attempts to conceive. It should be natural, without stress.

Tips after having intercourse to get pregnant

• It is recommended that a woman remain lying on her back for 10 to 20 minutes after having intercourse.
