See Best Sex Position to Boost Your Chances of Conceiving According to an Expert

A fertility expert, Dr. Marilyn Glenville, claims the missionary style is the best sex position to adopt when trying for a baby as it boosts the chances of getting pregnant.

She told DailyMail: “The man-on-top position has the best chance of getting a woman pregnant. The rationale is that this position allows for deep penetration so the man’s sperm can be ejaculated as close to the cervix (the opening of the womb) as possible. This gives the sperm cells a flying start on their long journey.”

Dr. Glenville, whose claims have no scientific research backing, explained further that the closer the sperm cells are to the egg, the greater their chances of reaching it. She added that any position that “goes against gravity” – the woman on top, or having sex sitting or standing up – will “discourage” the sperm’s journey.

She said another option is the man entering the woman from behind, with her kneeling in front of him and her bottom higher than her head. She added that ‘spooning’ is a not a good option because the “penetration angle is not so deep”.
