Let gravity do the work
Making sure your partner’s sperm is as close to your cervix (neck of your uterus/womb) as possible is vital for fertilisation. Getting sperm to swim up your fallopian tubes is the key, so give them a helping hand by letting gravity do some of the work; either by lifting your legs up in the air, or leaning them against the wall. You could also try lying on your back in the missionary position with a pillow underneath your hips to give you an extra lift.
