You want to do everything right in bed to maximize your chances of conceiving. No methods have been proven to produce a pregnancy. Yet a few changes to the timing and frequency of your lovemaking might help increase your odds of success. The best time to get pregnant is at the most fertile point in your menstrual cycle. The two days before you ovulate and the day of ovulation have the highest probability of conception. Having sex on those days will give you the greatest odds of conceiving.

Sexual positions that allow for deep penetration are likely to be the best for conception as they allow the sperm to be deposited as close to the cervix as possible. There is no research that proves or disproves either of these suggestions. It is completely up to you whether you wish to try these ideas out.

Will you need get creative — or even technical — in the bedroom when you're trying to conceive? The short answer is no, with some caveats. While there are no science-backed sex positions that boost the odds of getting pregnant, missionary position or woman on bottom, man on top can get sperm closer to your cervix and the goal line. Propping a pillow under your hips puts gravity in your favor.
