Top 10 Sex Positions for Getting Pregnant Fast (#2 & #7 – Must Try)

Introduction

Sex positions are a very important factor of sexual intercourse. Although this seems pretty logical, not many people understand its exact importance. You see, the more creative you are “in the sack”, the better your sex will be. Women, like men, love new, interesting, crazy things to try in bed, and by exploring them with your significant other, you may significantly improve your sex life.

Why is this Better than Simple, Plain Sex in One or Two “Normal” Positions?

I have just explained one aspect of it – keeping the “game” interesting for both of you.
The other thing I would like to mention that will also answer the previously mentioned question is that sex is like glue.

Relationships aren’t just based on sex, that is true and okay. However, sex is that one aspect of a relationship that can bring people closer together, or push them away.
How many times have you heard a reference – How is your sex? – in some movies? I have heard it millions of times.

Also, what goes with this is the fact that some of the sex positions have a better chance of getting the woman pregnant than others. That’s simply because some sex positions are “sexier” and “hotter” to a woman, and make her feel better and more relaxed.

Does the Right Position Make It Easier to Conceive?

Many couples trying to get pregnant often wonder if there is a specific “best” sex position that can improve their chances of conception. It’s a common question—but the answer may surprise you.
There is currently no strong scientific evidence showing that one position is significantly better than others for getting pregnant. Conception depends on many factors such as timing, overall reproductive health, and sperm quality, rather than just position alone.

That said, some experts suggest that positions allowing deeper penetration may help sperm get closer to the cervix. In theory, this could make it slightly easier for sperm to begin their journey toward the egg. Gravity may also play a small supporting role, but it is not a deciding factor.
However, what matters most is comfort and consistency.
Instead of worrying about finding a “perfect” position, it is far more helpful to focus on what works best for you and your partner.

The ideal approach is to choose positions that:

• Feel comfortable and enjoyable
• Help both partners stay relaxed
• Encourage regular and stress-free intimacy

When intimacy feels natural and pressure-free, it creates a healthier and more positive experience overall—something that is far more important than any specific position.

What are those Sex Positions That Can Lead to Pregnancy Faster than Other?

There are couples who are having difficulties with getting pregnant. I know many of them who couldn’t get to that for months! Yes, for months, but eventually they did. Also, I know other couples who can’t get to that at all, due to infertility.

According to this research^[1], women are delaying motherhood more and more, and couples are having trouble getting a baby more and more. Well, this article may help you in that.

On the other hand, if you are just here for the thrills and learning something new, this article might help you as well.

Top 10 Sex Positions for Getting Pregnant Fast

Before we get to the main event here, let’s see what the general truth is first.

Deeper penetration is better if you are trying to conceive a child. This is logical when you think of how a woman gets pregnant. Here is how it goes down!
When a man ejaculates, millions and millions of sperm come through his penis. All that it takes is one of those sperm cells to “get to the finish line”. The finish line is obviously the woman’s eggs that are located in ovaries.

This sounds so plain and simple, but it isn’t. Many sperm cells die during their time of finding the egg. That’s where the previous statement makes sense – The deeper you go, the shorter the road will be for a sperm cell to reach the egg.
And now let’s check the main reason you are here.

1. MISSIONARY

Okay, the first one is the most basic one of them all, however, it is pretty effective!
If you don’t know it by the name “missionary”, that is a sex pose where a woman is laying on her back, and a man is on top of her.

Missionary is the most common sex pose out there, but it is the most comfortable position for a woman and the most efficient position for making babies.

You can spicy thing up if you change it a bit. For an example, a man can hold his woman’s legs on his shoulders while in this position. That will ensure deeper penetration and better sex.

2. DOGGY STYLE

This is one of the favorite male sex positions, by far! And no, not because we, men, are animals – it’s because we enjoy the view and feel like we are in control. But essentially, yeah, we are animals.

So, the doggy style position is a position where a woman is on her knees with her back turned towards her man. Not many women love this position. It is even a little bit painful to some. However, it will pay off, and I will tell you how in a second. First, let’s see a variation that will make it more comfortable for women.

Try putting pillows under your belly and lay on them. The position is the same, only you are laying on the bed instead of being on your hands and knees.

Now, the reason why doggy style is so effective is that of the fact that a man’s penis can go deeper in this position with ease! In other sex positions, it may go as far but they need more effort and aren’t that comfortable for a man.

We have already learned why going deep is important for baby making sex. This position also opens the cervix more than other positions do, which makes the path that the sperms travel much easier.

3. THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN

This is a variation of the doggy style. The magic mountain is a pose where a woman’s back is directly on her man’s chest. What you can also do here is put pillows under your head. That will ensure a better balance.

The magic mountain helps the sperm go deeper, faster and also allows a man to hit the G spot easier. It is excellent for orgasms.

4. THE GLOWING TRIANGLE

No! This does not mean there are three of you! Dear lord. The glowing triangle, besides from its innovative and mind-opening name, is a pose that ensures fast baby making.
This is a variation of the missionary pose. It doesn’t differ much from its original. There are only minor changes that you will have to make.

So, a man will still be on top of his woman, only his legs will be extended out. A woman’s pelvis will be slightly raised. This will make it easier for her to wrap her legs around her man. No doubts this is a pretty interesting pose.

The glowing triangle is such a pose that makes conception easier because of the body position the woman is in.

5. SPOONING

Another interesting name! The people who came up with these names must be pretty creative! Spooning is an excellent pose for fast conception. The penis won’t go as far like in the previous posts, but the woman’s body position is excellent for impregnation.

You can imagine the spooning position like you would imagine doggy style, only on the sides. What I’m trying to say here, is that the spooning position is a position where a woman lays on her side, and a man is “spooning” her from the back.

You see, in this position, a woman’s pelvis will be at a 90-degree angle. Perfect for baby making!

6. THE PLOUGH

This is where it all gets spicy. Before I explain this one, I must warn you. The plough sex position requires physical strength and stamina, at least a little bit. Don’t be scared! It isn’t that demanding, but it is harder to do than the other poses.

So, what the plough position is, is when a woman is on her hands, holding her upper body that way, and a man is behind her, holding her lower back by holding her legs. It looks like a doggy style position, except it, is in the air.

Not that easy for a man, I know, but it will be beneficial if you are trying to make a baby. What makes this position so special, besides from how innovative it is, is the fact that gravity will work in your favor. Because of the position that the woman is in, the gravity will pull the sperms deeper and faster.

7. BUTTERFLY

The butterfly, again an excellent name, is a position that requires a table! Yes, a frickin’ table! It does have a nice and soft name, but it won’t be that soft. This position is for all of you adventurous couples. On top of that, it is excellent for conception.

Basically, a woman needs to lay on the table, and a man needs to lift her hips a bit so that he ensures comfortable penetration.

8. THE UNION OF THE WOLF

What a strange, strange name for a sex position, right?
Well, this position allows the sperms to travel a lot quicker to their desired destination due to the fact that the cervix will be opened more.

The union of the wolf is a position where a man is penetrating his woman from behind, but while both of them are on their feet. Then, after some time, a woman should lower her upper body. Chest down to the floor (not literally).

9. THE INDRA

This one is very similar to the butterfly, however, you will be doing this on the bed. So, just like the basic missionary, a woman is on her back, her man on top of her, and pillows should be under her hips. That’s all the philosophy for the Indra pose!

10. THE REVERSE COWGIRL

Coming last, but not least – the reverse cowgirl.
The reverse cowgirl’s name gives it all out. A man should be laying on his back, while his woman should be on top of his, but facing his feet.

This is another one of those poses that the male population simply adores. Not only is the view excellent, but it feels amazing for both of you. You will need to work a little bit harder in this position, but it is one of the best for conception.

Other Types of Sex Positions That May Be Considered When Trying to Conceive

Legs on Shoulders

The woman lies on her back while her legs are placed on the partner’s shoulders during intercourse. This position may allow deeper penetration, which is sometimes thought to help sperm get closer to the cervix. Comfort should always be the priority.

Wheelbarrow

In the wheelbarrow position, the woman supports herself on her hands while the partner holds her legs from behind. It creates a deeper angle but requires strength and balance from both partners. It should only be tried if both feel comfortable and relaxed.

Rear Entry

This position involves penetration from behind while the woman is on her hands and knees or slightly lowered forward. It allows deep penetration and is commonly chosen by couples trying to conceive. However, timing and overall fertility health matter more than position.

Edge of the Bed Position

The woman lies on her back near the edge of the bed while the partner stands or kneels. It allows good depth and a natural angle for intimacy. Many couples find it comfortable and easy to maintain.

Right Angle Sex Position

In this position, the woman lies on her back with her hips slightly elevated at a right angle using support like pillows. It may help keep sperm closer to the cervix after intercourse. However, scientific proof is limited, and comfort remains most important.

Other Things You Can Do to Increase Your Chances of Conceiving

While sex positions and timing often get most of the attention, the truth is that improving your chances of pregnancy involves a few simple but important lifestyle habits as well. Small changes in your routine can make a meaningful difference over time.

Focus on Timing Your Cycle

One of the most important factors in conception is having intercourse during your fertile window—especially around ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs about 10 to 16 days before your next period starts.

If you want to better understand your cycle, you can track it using methods like:

• Calendar tracking (predicting fertile days based on past cycles)
• Basal body temperature (BBT) monitoring
• Observing changes in cervical mucus

Knowing your ovulation pattern helps you plan more effectively, rather than guessing.

Choose Fertility-Friendly Lubricants

Not all lubricants are the same when it comes to fertility. Some can affect sperm movement and make it harder for sperm to reach the egg.
Certain synthetic lubricants and even some natural oils may reduce sperm mobility. If you need lubrication, consider fertility-friendly options that are designed to be sperm-safe and supportive of conception.

Rest and Relax After Intercourse

You may have heard advice about lying down after sex—and while there’s no strict rule, many doctors suggest resting in bed for about 20–30 minutes afterward.
This gives sperm time to move toward the cervix naturally. Some couples also find this time helpful for relaxing together, which can reduce stress and strengthen emotional connection.

Support Your Body with Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Your overall health plays a major role in fertility. Preparing your body for pregnancy can involve a few key lifestyle improvements:

• Eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet
• Staying physically active without overdoing it
• Managing stress levels as much as possible
• Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol intake
• Reviewing any medications with your healthcare provider

These habits help create a healthier environment for conception and early pregnancy.

Why Do Sex Positions Matter?

When couples start trying to conceive, one of the most common questions is whether sex positions actually make a difference. While no position can guarantee pregnancy, some experts believe they may play a small supporting role in improving the chances of conception.

The idea behind this is simple: certain positions may allow for deeper penetration, which can place sperm closer to the cervix. In theory, this might help sperm begin their journey toward the egg a little more efficiently. Gravity is also sometimes mentioned as a minor factor, although its impact is not scientifically proven to be significant.

However, it’s important to keep things in perspective. Medical professionals emphasize that sex position is far less important than overall health, timing, and consistency. Factors such as ovulation tracking, sperm quality, and reproductive health have a much greater influence on fertility outcomes.

This is why many healthcare providers recommend focusing on preparation rather than perfection. A preconception check-up for both partners can help identify any health or lifestyle factors that may affect fertility. Alongside this, understanding your ovulation cycle can make a big difference in timing intercourse effectively.

The Real Focus

Instead of stressing over finding the “perfect” position, it’s more helpful to:

• Maintain regular and enjoyable intimacy
• Track ovulation to identify fertile days
• Support overall health and wellness

Sex positions may offer a small supportive benefit, but they are not the key to conception. A healthy body, proper timing, and a relaxed mindset play a far more important role in increasing your chances of getting pregnant.

What Matters Most

• Timing of ovulation is more important than position.
• Overall reproductive health plays a key role in conception.
• Staying relaxed and stress-free supports better fertility outcomes.
• Focus on consistency and healthy lifestyle habits over “perfect” techniques.

What Might Help You Conceive?

• No sex position guarantees pregnancy, but some may slightly support conception.
• Positions with deeper penetration may help place sperm closer to the cervix.
• Lying down for 20–30 minutes after sex may help retain sperm (evidence is limited, but it is commonly suggested).
• Keeping the hips slightly elevated with a pillow is sometimes used for support.
• Avoid standing up immediately after intercourse to reduce semen leakage.
• Time intercourse during the fertile window around ovulation for better chances.
• Maintain regular and consistent intimacy instead of infrequent attempts.

What to Avoid When Trying to Conceive

• Avoid douching: It can remove healthy bacteria and may wash away sperm.
• Avoid immediate intense workouts: Not harmful, but better to stay relaxed after sex.
• Avoid certain lubricants: Some commercial lubricants, saliva, coconut oil, and olive oil may slow sperm.
• Be cautious with alternatives: If needed, use fertility-friendly lubricants and consult a doctor.

The Final Verdict

That would be it for this article. My advice to you would be to try as many as you can if you are having difficulties making a baby. If you are just looking for an adventure, feel free to try them all as well.

Another piece of advice I would like to give is this:
It is beneficial for conception if a woman doesn’t go straight up on her feet and to the toilet after sex. She should be laying there for at least 15 minutes. This will ensure that as much sperm as there was can stay inside of here.

Also, if a man can make his woman orgasm, this would be even better. Orgasms aren’t essential for baby-making sex, however they have their importance.

You see, if a woman orgasms, it will trigger her ovulation. This can be extremely beneficial for those of you who are trying to make a baby.

So, yeah, now you have all the necessary information about the poses that you can use. You see, making a baby isn’t as easy as you might thought it was. It definitely requires some knowledge and effort for you to make it.
