Baby Making Sex!

Well I know that this is one topic that we are all usually interested in reading. This part of the blog tonight holds some information that hopefully most of you know, or perhaps don't and figured that I would share it with you just in case.

I located an article online about the best positions (and why) for having sex to create a baby. I have copied and pasted the information below to make it easier, as well as copied the link just in case someone wants to check out the site that it came from. If you know of another position that works good, feel free to leave it in the comments section below. I am sure that everyone can use a bit of more information in this ttc journey.

Baby making sex is generally no different from any other sex however, the goal is to have semen deposited near the cervix. All things being equal, this is not usually a concern for the average couple trying to conceive a baby. There are certain positions that are more likely to help you achieve the goal of getting pregnant, particularly if you are having fertility issues. Here are some positions for sex and their potential risks and benefits in the conception department.

Man on Top (Missionary Position)
This is a pretty standard sexual position. This position will help with face-to-face intimacy. It also allows you to lay back and enjoy the show, so to speak. In this position, semen is deposited near the mouth of the cervix. The hard part of this position is that it may be more difficult for the woman to have an orgasm, which is can be helpful in the conception process.
Placing a pillow under your hips during intercourse and/or after your partner has an orgasm can help you get pregnant. By slightly tilting the position of the hips, you allow gravity to aid the travel of the sperm to and through the cervix. You only need to do this for about 30 minutes to enjoy the benefits

Woman on Top
This is generally considered to be counterproductive to getting pregnant because the sperm is deposited near the cervix, but immediately heads the opposite direction. This can be corrected if you lay down immediately after your partner has an orgasm. You can also use the pillow under your buttocks after this position. The good news about the woman on top is that the intercourse is deeply penetrating and can help both you and your partner achieve orgasms, even if it is from manual stimulation which is easier in this position

Hands and Knees Position (Doggie Style)
Okay, before you laugh at the name, this position has a lot of conception benefits. Since there tends to be deeper penetration semen is placed closer to the cervix. While you lack the face-to-face intimacy of other positions, it is also easier to have manual stimulation of the clitoris, allowing for orgasms. Skip the post-coitus pillow if you maintain this position for a few minutes after having sex.
If you have a tilted uterus, you can use this position to make it easier to reach the cervix. If you also convert the position to a knee-chest position by bending your arms slightly to give you even more of an angle. This can be just what the doctor ordered! This is also true if your partner has low sperm counts or poor sperm motility.
The sperm has to work less to get where it is going.

Side Lying
Side lying sex is nice and slow and passionate. It can also be called spooning. Once your partner has his orgasm you can roll over and use your trusty pillow to help you keep sperm near your cervix. This is also good for manual stimulation of the clitoris.
This position is also good for couples where one or more of the partners have a weight issue. This prevents either partner from having to either bear the weight or to hold themselves up. Back problems also fall into this category.

Standing
This position is fairly counterproductive, but fun. Try this for times in your cycle when you’re not concerned with getting pregnant. Remember variety is a good thing and recreation sex is just as important as procreational sex.
