For many people, children bring meaning, happiness and wholeness to life. Conceiving is an easy peasy deed for some couples whereas it becomes a task for others. Women get pregnant when sperm penetrates the ovary during sexual intercourse. There are a lot of factors that influence conception such as age, health, healthy reproductive systems, life style, genetic issues, weight and so on. There are few sex positions that could help in conceiving; however there is no scientific evidence to prove the same. It is important to seek medical help if prolonged trials to get pregnant fail.

Missionary position and doggy style are two postures that allow deeper penetration and increase the chances of getting pregnant. There are other styles such as spooning, splitting bamboo and padlock which render profound penetration too, that could help in conceiving quickly. In a nutshell, the deeper the penetration the better for as many sperms as possible to travel deep into cervix and fuse with ovaries; hence certain positions during lovemaking process could help in getting pregnant when compared to others.

Missionary position is when woman lays on her back with man on top whereas doggy style as the name implies penetration takes place from the back of woman while she is on four. Spooning is again entering from back but in lying position while splitting bamboo as the name suggest split legs with one on the partner’s shoulder and the other comfortably positioned around him or against him. On the other hand, padlock position comes in a sitting position on higher platform with legs wide open for partner to penetrate while standing. These positions not only help in conceiving but also spice romantic life instead of letting child making process a routine activity.

Besides sex positions, there are a lot of other important aspects that could help in conceiving. Penetration during ovulation time in a menstrual cycle is one strong way to get pregnant as ovaries reach fallopian tubes and wait to be fertilised; hence it is important to keep track of menstruation cycle using an ovulation predictor tool or manually count to the middle of the cycle when ovulation will be at its peak. One gets a good 5 to 7 days window to get pregnant if sperm successfully fuses into an egg. It is helpful to make the most of these days and spend a lot of time together with increased number of intercourses to improve sperm-ovary fusion chances.

It is always a good idea to consult gynaecologist or seek medical help in ruling out any possible health issues or internal problems in both partners that could lead to infertility and get treated if any. It is advisable to make love at regular intervals not with a dagger of conception hanging on head but to enjoy the process, love each other and start on prenatal supplements, balanced diet, healthy lifestyle and exercise even before conception as they help in getting pregnant and have a healthy baby if conceived in the process.
