It is a known fact that countless couples all over the world are trying to concieve without success. Many have often asked themselves if there was a particular sex position to get pregnant easily.
According to Sheryl A. Kingsberg, the chief of the division of behavioral medicine at the University Hospital Case Medical Center in Cleveland, it is difficult to research specific sexual positions that might enhance fertility.
Despite lack of scientific proof, some sex positions might provide some advantages in conceiving a baby. BlackBox Nigeria had pooled together 4 of these sex positions to increase the odds of baby making success.
1. Missionary position
In this position where the man is on top, a woman’s cervix can dip more easily into the vaginal semen pool, giving sperm access to the protective cervical mucus.
Although, not all women are built the same way. “Having women on their backs makes sense for women who have an anteverted uterus, one that is tilted forward, which is about two-thirds of the population,” Dr. Kingsberg notes. “But a third of women have a retroverted uterus, one that’s tilted backward, so missionary wouldn’t offer any advantage for them.”
2. Doggy style
Couples can also try a different position like doggy style. This popular sex position puts the woman on all fours with the man entering from behind. It allows for deeper penetration, which gives semen increased access to the opening of the cervix.
3. Wheelbarrow
Who says baby-making sex can’t be a little adventurous? In this athletic position, the woman holds herself up with her hands while her standing partner grabs her legs, pulls them around his thighs, and enters her. Again, it allows for deep penetration and closeness to the cervix.
4. Your favorite position
Sometimes, it is most likely that your baby making position is actually your favorite sex position. It doesn’t matter if you’re twisted like a rope or lying still as a statue or even upside down, as long as your partner gets the job done. And if it provides a toe-curling climax, all the better!
“There was some research that a woman’s orgasm did help move semen into the uterus terms of the contractions,” Dr. Kingsberg says. She also added that what is most important is keeping a consistent routine, although not necessarily an obsessive one. Besides trying it daily can be a big chore.
