JAKARTA - Couples who are planning pregnancy, many things need to be considered, ranging from proper sex times, healthy diets, to balanced lifestyles. In addition, there is also a sex position that can help speed up pregnancy.

Although there is no scientific evidence yet, experts believe that some styles of making love can provide benefits that support the fertilization process.

"It's very difficult to research certain sexual positions that might increase fertility," explained Sheryl A. Kingsberg, PhD, head of the Behavioral Medicine Division at the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, quoted from the Parents page.

However, he added that the time and frequency of contact also play an important role. Having sex during the ovulation period can significantly increase the chances of pregnancy. Here are 7 sex positions that are believed to help increase the possibility of conception.

1. Missionary (Missionary)

This classic position is believed to help sperm more easily reach the cervix.

"This position makes anatomical sense, because it allows cervicals to be submerged in sperm ponds," said Kelly Pagidas, MD, a fertility specialist from the Women & Infants Center for Reproduction and Infertility.

However, Dr. Kingsberg warned that this position may be more effective for women with forward-looking uterines (anteverted uterus).

2. Doggy Style

This position allows deeper penetration, so that sperm is closer to services.

"This position can be an option for couples who feel the missionary position is too tiring," said RA. Schiffman, PhD, clinical psychologist and sex therapist at the New York University's Fertility Center.

3. Reverse Cowgirl

In this position, women are above the partner and face the partner's feet. Women can adjust the penetration depth to be closer to the cervical when ejaculation occurs.

4. Scissors

The couple lie down sideways and face each other. This position is not only romantic, but also allows deep penetration and comfort for both of them.

5. Rear Entry

Like doggy style, this position gives a deep penetration. The difference is, women lie on their stomach and their partners sit on top. This gives more intense body contact.

6. Wheelbarrow

This position is quite challenging physically, but allows maximum penetration. Women support the body with their hands, while men stand behind and hold women's feet. Men penetrate from behind.

7. CAT (Coital Alignment Technique)

CAT is a variation of the missionary position, by adjusting the body angle so that the male partner is slightly higher. This position is believed to increase the chances of orgasm in women and help sperm move towards egg cells.
