Yes, strange thoughts made public!

There are no specific sexual positions scientifically proven to increase your chances of getting pregnant, as successful conception depends more on timing and overall reproductive health. However, positions like missionary and doggy style are often recommended because they allow for deeper penetration, which theorizes to deposit sperm closer to the cervix. For any position, placing a pillow under the hips after sex can be used to keep the semen closer to the cervix, though its actual effectiveness is debated.

Positions that may help:

Missionary:
This position allows the cervix to dip into the pool of semen, potentially giving sperm better access to the cervical mucus.

Doggy Style:
This position allows for deep penetration, which theory suggests deposits semen closer to the cervix, especially beneficial for a retroverted (tilted backward) uterus.

What actually matters for conception:

Timing:
Having sex during your fertile window (the days leading up to and including ovulation) is crucial for increasing your chances of conception.

Sperm and Egg Health:
The quality of sperm and the health of the egg are far more significant factors in achieving pregnancy.

Frequency:
Consistent and enjoyable sex during the fertile window is more important than the position chosen.

What you can do after sex:

Pillow Under Hips:
Some sources suggest placing a pillow under your hips after intercourse can help use gravity to keep semen closer to the cervix.

Rest:
Lying down for a short period after sex can be helpful, though it's not essential for conception.

Urinate:
Emptying your bladder after sex can help reduce the risk of a urinary tract infection but does not impact conception.
