You may be wondering how sex positions increases your chance of getting pregnant. This has been the topic of many experts actually. It has long been debated whether or not this really helps. Though it is believed to really increase the odds of pregnancy, pregnancy related to sex positions is not really proven.

The though behind this is sex positions who are deep penetrating are likely the positions that will get you pregnant. This is thought because of the body’s anatomy. When a sperm is deposited inside a vagina through unprotected sex, it will travel a certain distance before it reaches the egg. The sperm from the vagina travels through the cervix, then into the uterus, and finally to the fallopian tube where the egg is located. In addition, the sperm can only live for a certain period of time. It can live for about five to seven days, and within this period, it should get in contact with the egg and fertilize it.

The logic behind this is that, the closer the sperm is deposited to the cervix, then the lesser distance the sperm has to travel, which will lead to getting pregnant more quickly. This also means that it can reach the location of the egg in the five to seven days’ period.

The missionary position is believed to be the deepest penetrating sexual position that can help you get pregnant. The rear position is also acceptable. When you use these positions, it can deliver your sperm close to the cervix, and thus, help with pregnancy. Positions such as woman on top and other shallow penetrating positions should be avoided.

To increase the effectiveness of the position, the woman can lie in bed for about 20 minutes and tilting her hips after her partner’s ejaculation. This will facilitate the sperm deposition more effectively. Furthermore, she should avoid douching too much as some substances used for douching can create a hostile environment (vagina) for the sperm, thus, killing them and reducing them in number.
