Missionary position: Some people believe this position could help a couple get pregnant. With the man on top and the woman lying on the back, the sperm could possibly get an easy path to the cervix and may help you conceive.
Doggy style: This position is likely to help in deeper penetration and opening the cervix more than other positions. It might make it easier for the sperm to make its way inside.
Glowing triangle: Just like the missionary, in the glowing triangle the woman is on the back with her partner on top of his all fours with his legs extended out. With the pelvis slightly raised, the woman may wrap her legs around her partner. It is said that this position allows deeper penetration and keeps the pelvis tilted upwards, increasing the chance of conception.
The anvil: In this position, the man is again on top, but the woman has to raise her legs above the head before he penetrates. It might allow deep penetration and help hit the G-spot, both of which could help conceive.
Magic mountain: This is another variance of the doggy-style pose where the man bends over the woman in such a way that his chest is on her back. It is believed that this pose allows the sperm to move deeper and faster. It might also hit the G-spot and help the woman orgasm.
Spooning: In this pose, the woman lies on the side with her partner spooning from behind. The woman’s pelvis is tilted at a 90-degree angle, and it is thought to provide a better reach for sperm.
Plough: The woman is positioned like a wheel burrow with legs in the air. The partner will hold onto her legs as he penetrates. It is believed that gravity works to pull the sperm further down the cervix.
Butterfly: The woman lies on her back, on a table. The partner moves between her legs and lifts her hips (or she may put pillows under her hips). It is thought to help the sperm stay in the vagina longer, ensuring better chances of conception.
The splitting bamboo: The splitting bamboo is one of the Kamasutra poses, where the woman raises one of her legs over the partner’s shoulders while he straddles her thigh and uses her leg for support. Apart from hitting the G-spot, this position is likely to have deeper penetration and a better chance of conception.
The union of the wolf: In this pose, a woman stands her back to her partner. The partner holds her waist and penetrates. Some believe that it helps the sperms find a better way to the cervix, ensuring quicker conception.
The union of the oyster: This pose is also thought to help conceive, apart from making sex more pleasurable. The woman lies on her back while bending her knees and the partner will be in the kneeling position during intercourse.
The padlock: The woman sits on the edge of some high furniture, supporting herself with arms, behind her and legs wrapped around her partner. It is thought to give the sperm extra space and motion for easier conception.
The peg: In this position, the man lies on his back, with the woman on top. This position is thought to help women with heavier partners.
The sphinx: The woman has to lie on her tummy, with weight on the forearms. One of the legs should be bent to the side while the other should be straight behind. The partner will then straddle her, with his weight on his arms. This position is likely to allow deeper penetration and conception.
