Many couples that are trying to have a baby may struggle to conceive but that doesn't mean there is a fertility issue. What you eat, the exercises you do and the sexual positions you use can all have an effect. This article will focus on which are the best getting pregnant positions.

First many are of the opinion that by having sex as much as possible you will greatly improve the chances of conceiving but this isn't actually the case. It is more important to have sex before the ovulation part of your menstrual cycle. It is recommended that you have sex on day 10, 12, 14 and 16 of your cycle to cover this period.

If you do not have a regular 28 day cycle having sex every 3 days should increase your chances and keep your partners sperm count at a good level ( your partners sperm count will be effected if you have sex all the time and thus lower your chances ). This is because sperm can last up to 5 days so having sex 2 or 3 times a week should help increase your chances.

The best positions for getting pregnant are the missionary and the doggy positions. The reason for this is because the sperm is ejaculated close to the cervix with both of these positions.

Another tip is to try placing a pillow under your hips. This helps to tilt your pelvis and therefore keep the sperm in longer. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible so try not to get up immediately after sex.

Some also say that having an orgasm will also help as it pulls the sperm deeper in and if the man has a more powerful orgasm his sperm count will be higher. For this reason try to enjoy sex as much as possible and don't treat it as a chore. Try to spice things up whenever possible or have a romantic evening. This may not be proven by research to work but it will do you no harm trying.
