    Default Sex positions to get pregnant

    Are there sexual positions that would increase my chances for conceiving?

    There are a number of things that you can do to increase your chances of conception.

    Best Positions
    The man-on-top position works well when trying to conceive. Place a small pillow under your hips following intercourse so that your cervix basically rests in the pool of semen for a short time (perhaps 20 minutes or so). This will allow the sperm time to easily swim up through the cervix. (Important Note: Do not use a large pillow, or you may sabotage your efforts, since the sperm may then puddle behind your cervix. Not a good place to be when trying to reach that egg.)

    If you have a tipped uterus, you may have better luck having intercourse from behind (hands and knees position). By having intercourse in this position it allows the sperm better access to the cervix.

    Positons to Avoid
    For most women it makes sense to avoid straddling their partner while making love -- woman-on-top, sitting or standing -- since this can cause the semen to leak and may result in fewer sperm making their way to the egg.

    The thermometer is a good way to go. If you want to broaden your chances, try having sex every other day 10 days after your cycle. Ten because, it is said to be 10 to 15 days after your cycle, I say 10 to start early. Maximum amount of time increases your chances. Try it your next cycle, and see what happens.

    yes the man on top position is the best from what ive read and heard. I think babycenter goes by what date you give them, like, i think they ask you when was your last period was or how many days you have in your cycle, something like that...and then they calulate your ovulation date by what info you give them. Remember to not to stress about it and dont forget to stay in that bed after intercourse for a few mins. I will look into some more tips for you and post it on the forum. My pregnancy is going well so far, my cravings has gone out of whack! lol. thanks for asking. goodluck to ya!

    Visit your gyn doctor! They will take a blood test to see if you are pregnant or not.
