5 Best positions to get pregnant fast:

Getting pregnant maybe the easiest of all things, however, some couples do find
it hard to conceive for several reasons, including weak or insufficient sperm co
unt.
In some cases, as when nature needs a boost, a little push from you and your par
tner can go a long way in getting pregnant. When it comes to the best position t
o get pregnant, the general rule is that the male sperm must be deposited as nea
r to the female cervix as possible.

This has something to do with the life spans of the female egg and the male sper
m. Once an egg is released from the ovary â a stage also known as ovulation â it begins
its path down the fallopian tube to the uterus. A released egg typically survive
s for only 24 hours, while a sperm can last anywhere from three to five days in
the female body. As such, the egg has to be as close to the egg as possible so t
hey can meet and join before the egg dies.
While not a lot of people will agree that the sexual positions have anything to
do with getting pregnant, the logical inference is that it makes sense to assume
the position that can help the sperm meet the egg in the shortest possible time
.
This is especially true when for couples who have problems or difficulty conceiv
ing. Having said this, the first "best position to get pregnant" tip is to avoid
positions that least expose the cervix to the male sperm, and that generally de
fy gravity such as sex while standing up, sitting down, or with the woman on top
. When trying to conceive, it is best to limit the amount of sperm that flows ba
ck out of the vagina.
The woman's hips should also be positioned in such a way that the sperm released
is kept inside, giving it enough time to swim up to the female cervix.
Consider the following positions instead:
1. The missionary position. Or man-on-top is said to be the position that's best
for getting pregnant. This is because this particular position allows for the d
eepest possible penetration, making it possible for the sperm to get deposited c
losest to the cervix.
2. Raise the hips. Elevating the hips, which can be done by placing a pillow beh
ind her, can also be helpful because this exposes the female cervix to as much s
emen as the male can release.
3. Doggy-style. The rear-entry position where the man enters the woman from behi
nd is also a recommended position. In this position, sperm is also deposited clo
sest to the cervix, thereby helping increase the chances of conception.
4. Side-by-side. You can also try having intercourse while lying side by side. T
his position likewise causes the most exposure of the cervix to the male sperm.
5. Orgasms. Finally, while this has nothing to do with sexual positions, there a
re also researches that suggest the importance of the female orgasm in conceivin
g. According to studies, female orgasm leads to contractions that could push spe
rm up into the cervix. The lesson: have fun while trying to conceive.
