Getting Pregnant Certain Ways in Which Conception Becomes Easy
Sexual intercourse is the obvious answer to how to get pregnant, although of course these days couples who have difficulty conceiving can be helped medically in a variety of ways.
But presuming that you and your partner are physically capable of getting pregnant the conventional way, it is commonly believed that there are certain sexual positions which allow the sperm to be delivered close to the top of the cervix and are therefore more successful.
If this is the case then having the man on top (missionary position) would offer the greatest possibility of conception. In this position the degree of penetration allows the sperm to be deposited high up the cervix.
Other recommended positions that allow deeper penetration are: from behind (doggy style), on-the-edge (the woman lies on edge of the bed and her partner can then enter from a standing or kneeling position) and ‘scissors’ (like two pairs of scissors at right-angles).
As with most things in life, timing is crucial and if you wondering how to get pregnant then sex just before and also during ovulation is key to your success. Any couple trying unsuccessfully to conceive for more than twelve months should consider consulting an expert.
Female orgasm isn’t necessary for successful conception, but the contractions experienced during orgasm could help the sperm to move up towards the uterus. It is also thought that remaining lying down for at least 15 minutes after sex gives the sperm more chance of remaining in the vagina and reaching its target. There’s no harm in trying it.
Some couples swear that positioning actually might play a role in whether you want a boy or a girl. ‘Male sperm’ are faster swimmers but ‘female sperm’ tend to live longer. With this in mind those trying for a boy should perhaps try the ‘doggy position’ as this shortens the distance that the sperm have to swim.
The best time to try for a boy is close to ovulation and, as the ‘male sperm’ prefer slightly more alkaline surroundings, try avoiding dairy products at this time. Apparently, if your partner drinks a caffeinated drink before sex the sperm will swim more quickly!
The optimum position when trying for a baby girl is one with less penetration, such as spooning (both lying on your sides with the woman’s back to her partner). This is because the slower and much hardier ‘female sperm’ survive for several days and don’t need to rush. ‘Female sperm’ prefer a more acid environment so increase your dairy and citrus fruit intake around this time.
Old wives’ tales and hearsay about conception have been around for centuries so remember that all of the well-meaning advice is mainly speculative so try not to think too much about getting pregnant – just relax and enjoy yourselves!
