Some people get pregnant if they just blink their eyes. But for a good number of couples out there, it does take a lot more effort and planning. When it comes to intercourse, there are some positions which allow more semen to travel to the right spot in your anatomy compared to other less efficient positions which may give rise to more leakage.
I think I should mention though, that although not necessary for conception, it is said that a woman’s orgasm will help the uterus contract and pull the sperm up where it needs to go, so a less tiring swim for the sperm (especially useful if his sperm are not that great swimmers in the first place). Another thing to note is lubrication! I didn’t realise this earlier on in my TTC (Trying to Conceive) journey… but use lube that doesn’t hinder the sperm. There are lubes like Pre-seed and Conceive Plus which you can use, if needed. While TTC, never use saliva down there either! It’s a natural sperm killer.
Missionary
This old school position with you on your back is best for deep penetration. Place a pillow below your hips. When he ejaculates, his sperm will be close to your cervix. After he ejaculates, you may want to stay in this position for 10 minutes (or if you’re kiasu like I am, then put your legs up in the air!)
Doggy Style
Another pretty old school position which is great at attaining a deep penetration. Getting down onto your elbows, or lowering your shoulders even more will help keep your pelvis at a favourable angle for the big deposit. Gravity can help the sperm reach the egg more easily, so work with it, not against it!
Butterfly
Lie on the edge of the bed or on a tabletop with your bum at the very edge. He is standing or kneeling (depends on height of table/bed) on the floor, holding your legs up in the air as he penetrates you. You can also drape your legs over his shoulders. It’s a little different, for times you get bored of the old school baby making positions, yet it’s perfect for keeping the sperm in you.
Riding the Bull
In this position, your partner lies on the bed, and you straddle him in cowgirl style. This allows you to be in control of the pace and rhythm. This is helpful if you’re one of those who can only orgasm when on top. Now the trick is, when he’s about to orgasm, he needs to flip you over to the side, without breaking the penetration. And he can ejaculate inside you while you’re pushed down on the bed. The thrill of it can help you to an orgasm too.
Starfish
Lie on your side with one leg in the air (kind of like a starfish spread out). Your partner penetrates you from that angle. If you’re not that flexible and can’t spread your legs apart very wide, the bend the knee of the leg that’s in the air. That way, you can rest it against his chest and not have to spread open wide enough to clear his shoulder. This might work, and is worth trying because for some, the uterus is positioned slightly differently to normal. This position could help because the sperm comes from a different angle.
Baby dust to you!
