Do sex positions really help with conception? The answers is yes! It won’t guarantee anything but it will help when you do things like… take advantage of gravity! Assuming you’re healthy and your body is primed for baby making, these positions may help make it a little easier.

Let’s check out six recommended positions

1.) Missionary

Yes, you read that right. Plain old missionary. This one is great for helping with gravity and helping sperm swim to their target destination. Even better? Add a pillow beneath your hips to tilt your pelvis into an even better angle. Another way to make this position even better is having the woman place her legs on the male’s shoulders to allow for even deeper penetration.

2.) Doggy style

Doggy style allows for deep penetration and allows the sperm to enter as close to the cervix as it can. Super simple but super effective.

3.) Reverse cowgirl

Reverse cowgirl is a great position for women with ripped or retroverted uteruses, typically, girl on top position’s aren’t recommended because the sperm has more upward swimming to accomplish but this also a slight tip to the pelvis and allows a better angle.

4.) Good old side by side

Side by side while facing one another (scissoring of sorts) is another position that allows for deep penetration that helps the sperm reach the cervix quickly and effectively.

5.) On your stomach

A study (Journal of Sex and Marital therapy study) proved this to be an extremely effective position via and MRI. The female laying on her stomach while the male enters her from behind actually allows for deeper penetration, even deeper than tried and true missionary.

6.) Wheelbarrow

I know, I openly cringed at the gymnastic craziness of this one but apparently you don’t have to be some flexible goddess to attempt this adventurous position. For those not familiar: The woman places her hands on the floor or the bed while the man takes her legs and lines himself up between them, entering her from behind. It does allow for deep penetration but it’s admittedly a more difficult position to get into.
