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. The missionary position is often recommended for this reason.
No particular sexual positions have been proven to improve your chances of becoming pregnant. But any position that allows your partner's penis to penetrate more deeply into your vagina may help. Penetrating more deeply helps ensure that sperm enters the vagina.
There's no scientific evidence to support the idea that a specific position can increase the odds of conception. However, positions that allow for deeper penetration, such as where the male partner is on top, may help deposit sperm closer to the uterus.
Many think that the missionary position (man on top, woman on bottom) is the best intercourse position to get pregnant. However, there's no research to back up that claim. Any intercourse position that gets sperm near the cervix (or vagina, for that matter) can get you pregnant.
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. The missionary position is often recommended for this reason.
Some experts do recommend staying in bed anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour after intercourse to keep the sperm pooled at the top of the vagina. A woman can put her knees up to accentuate this position, or she can place her feet on the wall with her hips on a small pillow, which works even better.
Some believe that lying on your back for 15-20 minutes after sexual intercourse ensures better chances of survival for every last sperm. However, there's no scientific evidence to support this claim. Conception can occur even after three minutes of sexual intercourse.
The next time you have sex, the number of sperms is not as much as the first time, but the quality of sperm remains stable, and that quantity is enough for fertilization to occur. This proves that having sex twice in a row is still possible to get pregnant if there is no reasonable protection.

Sexual positions which may help with getting pregnant
It can be useful to lie on a small pillow so her hips are tilted upwards slightly. This position fosters deep penetration so the semen is deposited very close to the cervical opening.
So, you don't really need to worry about “keeping sperm in,” but if you want to try stay in bed for a few minutes after sex, it doesn't hurt and it may help. Most of all, though, just make sure you're having sex during your fertile period and right before, during, and after ovulation.
Samples collected between the hours of 5am and 7.30am were found to display a statistically higher sperm concentration, total sperm count and a greater percentage of normally shaped sperm, when compared with samples that were collected later in the day.
Keep Yourself Busy
Try your best not to fixate too much on the passing time, or what's going on in your body. Stick to your normal schedule, do some activities you enjoy (spa day, anyone?), and spend time with family or friends when possible to take your mind off of the wait.
Bathing: The logic behind having a bath to remove semen is that it will wash the sperm out. However, this will not work, as the water will not reach the uterus.
Confirming whether sperm has gone inside your body can be done by checking for semen, using a home pregnancy test, visiting a doctor, getting a sperm analysis, or using a fertility tracking method. If you are concerned about whether sperm has gone inside your body, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider.
Some signs that can indicate sperm has entered include feeling a warm sensation and a change in the texture of vaginal secretions. It's important to always practice safe sex by using protection, such as condoms, to prevent unwanted pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
Hitting the cervix during intercourse can cause bruising, making it feel tender and sensitive. A bruised cervix typically occurs with deep penetration.
Having a micropenis doesn't necessarily make you infertile, but it can make conception more challenging. Some research has linked penis lengths less than 2 inches to lower conception rates. 8 If a person has a pituitary disorder that causes micropenis, low testosterone levels may also cause low sperm count.
The concentration of sperm is what makes the semen cloudy and thick, so if your ejaculate is watery it is possible that you have a low sperm count. This doesn't mean you're infertile (so precautions to prevent pregnancy still need to be taken for couples that don't want to get pregnant).
However, please bear in mind that sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days; this is why doctors and fertility specialists consider that having sex every 2-3 days is enough, as in this case, sperm is likely to be present when the egg is released.
There is no specific frequency with which a man should ejaculate. There is no solid evidence that failure to ejaculate causes health problems. However, ejaculating frequently can reduce the man's risk of getting prostate cancer. Ejaculation can be through having sex or masturbating a few times a day.
Ejaculatory anhedonia is the term used to describe the rare condition in which individuals are able to ejaculate physically but don't have the accompanying feelings of release, pleasure, or orgasm.
