There's no guaranteed way to increase your chances of getting pregnant after intercourse, but certain positions and actions might help sperm reach the egg.
Post-Intercourse Actions to Potentially Improve Conception Chances
After intercourse, several simple actions may help:
1. Lie Still
Remain lying down for a short period. This allows gravity and natural movement to assist sperm in traveling toward the cervix and uterus. (Reference 1: Lie still. Doing this for a spell can help sperm get where they're going.)
2. Elevate Your Pelvis
Place a pillow under your hips to elevate your pelvis. This uses gravity to help move the semen closer to your uterus. (Reference 2: Prop your pelvis. Tuck a pillow under your hips after sex so that gravity can move semen toward your uterus.)
3. Raise Your Legs
Elevate your legs against a wall. Similar to elevating your pelvis, this posture uses gravity to aid sperm movement. (Reference 3: Put legs up. Rest with your legs up a wall, which is another way to let gravity assist the sperm.)
Important Considerations: While these actions may slightly increase the chances of conception, they are not guaranteed to work. Successful conception depends on many factors beyond these simple post-intercourse techniques, including sperm health, egg health, and overall reproductive health.
