So you and your partner want to have a baby. What an exciting time this is for both of you! Of course, you want to get pregnant as soon as possible.
You might have heard that the old missionary position is the best possible choice for conceiving a child quickly. This is just an old wives tale. Not only is it not true, it’s an outdated idea.
While there is no actual scientific evidence that a certain position will work better than another, but many women swear that certain positions are not only destined to get you pregnant faster, they might even determine the sex of your baby.
Why Are Positions in Bed So Important for Conception?
Sex positions can potentially play a role in increasing the chances of conception, but it’s important to note that the evidence supporting specific positions as being more effective is limited and inconclusive.
That being said, certain positions may facilitate deeper penetration and allow for sperm to be deposited closer to the cervix, which may increase the chances of fertilization.
Some experts recommend positions where the woman is on top, as this may allow for gravity to assist the sperm in reaching the cervix.
However, it’s also important to keep in mind that factors such as timing of intercourse, frequency of intercourse, and overall reproductive health of both partners are also critical factors in conception. Couples should aim to have regular, unprotected sex throughout the menstrual cycle, particularly during the woman’s fertile window; this can maximize their chances of conceiving.
Top 5 Positions to Increase Chances of Pregnancy
We are going to list the top 5 positions you can not only enjoy in bed, but that will increase your chances to get pregnant as soon as possible.
- From Behind (AKA Doggie Style)
All men love to do it doggie style, but what they may not know is that this is also one of the best ways to get pregnant quickly. Doggie style involves deep penetration, which allows the sperm to come into contact with the egg in a shorter amount of time. - The Triangle Glow
If you haven’t heard of this one, we aren’t surprised. While it isn’t really “new”, it isn’t as popular as other positions.
This one is similar to the missionary style, with the female on her back and the man on top, but this position calls for the man to have his legs extended. The female then wraps her legs around the male’s waist. This allows for deep penetration, which ensures a quick conception. - The Leg Up
You need to be a bit flexible for this one, ladies. Lie on your back and put your legs up as high as possible. If your ankles are near your ears, you are doing it right! You can hold your legs with your hands or have your man hold them up for you. Deep penetration is the idea here and you will really feel it in this position. - Mountain Climber
This is a slightly different version of the doggie style. Ladies, get on all 4, and then drop to your elbows. Use a pillow to rest your head on if that makes it easier. Your bottom is the mountain and your partner is the climber. You get the idea! - The Wheelbarrow
Both partners need to be in good shape to do this one, but if you want to conceive quickly, this is the clincher.
Ladies, think of yourself as a wheel burrow! Put your hands on a chair seat or other low item (like a coffee table or sofa) and have the man stand behind you. Put your legs around his waist and he will help by holding them up.
This position is said to help you conceive quickly as gravity is doing all the work, pulling the sperm down into the cervix so it can fertilize the egg.
Summary
If you want to conceive quickly, deep penetration is the idea. This allows the sperm to meet the egg quickly. Remember that sperm lives about 5 days inside the body, but the egg only about 24 hours, so timing sex with ovulation will also help to get you pregnant quickly.
