There is actually no evidence that any sexual position is the best for getting pregnant. However, a large number of people believe that the ‘missionary position’ is the best. This basically refers to the ‘man up’ position. This specific position is said to be the best position to get pregnant because it allows for more intense penetration and helps deposit sperm much closer to the cervix. Positions in which the girl is on top, astride or standing are not recommended for those who want to get pregnant, as this causes the sperm to escape and not reach the egg.

In order to conceive as quickly as possible, you should always look for a position that will hold sperm for a relatively longer period of time. Lie down in bed for about 15 to 20 minutes after sex. Raising the hips while keeping a pillow under it helps to retain the sperm inside for a long time. However, do not raise it too high, as this will cause the sperm to collect behind the cervix instead of reaching the egg.

Different positions would be suitable for different body types. Everyone can’t just fit into the same position just because someone has conceived through it. For example, for those who have a tilted uterus, having sex from behind would be the best position to get pregnant. All in all, the most important thing to keep in mind when choosing the best position for you is that the sperm must reach the egg. All you need to remember is to stay healthy and keep track of the right time.
