   Has anyone you know got pregnant with being on top during sex or you yourself 
 Sorry if that is TMI
 
 To me I dont think it mattters as long as the sperm gets to the egg then that is good enough
 
 Or is it just an old wives tale that you cant get pregnant if the women is on top a myth

   Well the two times that I tried to get pg were different (yep Im one of the lucky ones where it takes one time as my egg leaps onto any passing sperm).    When we conceived Issy .. (he had been away for a long time) .. we did it in every conceivable position    When we conceived Elias .. I was a tired Mummy of a relatively new baby .. so it was a lie on my back and enjoy the view experience    |

   I'm pretty sure woman-on-top isn't a reliable form on contraception    so I'm pretty sure it can happen! I've heard woman underneath is supposedly better but I don't know if thats true or not.

   lol t_Rex! ... those wee spermies can swim pretty damn quickly! I have never really gone to any of the lengths people go to to keep them in there (i.e. bums in the air, staying lying down etc) and Ive been UTD 5x plus 2 recent chem pregs... but I really couldn't say what position I conceived in    |

   We conceived these two in one of two positions (far far TMI!!!).  I know what date I conceived as it was the only time we did the deed around ov, so in the morning it was good old fashioned missionary and we went back for a second round that night when I was on top.....I like to think it was the second round that worked though, for certain reasons I won't disclose!!!

   LMAO minik8e! Actually this whole thread has cracked me up    cheers guys!
 As for on top I wouldn't know how I conceived J or mcs lol none were planned. According to DP men are lazy so downhill is their favourite travel route LOL therefore theres a better chance of gettng knocked up if your egg is below his lil men    |

   I got a book out of the library, fertility facts and being on top is "just as likely to get you pg as any other position that allows deep vaginal penetration by the penis"
 Oh and they are also not sure that a woman having an orgasim helps but seeing as when woman orgasim their uterus contracts and causes a vaccum effect it may help the swimmers    They had heaps of tips, the only other one was that saliva can affect the life of spermies, drastically reducing the time the sperm is still viable so it says to "save kisses for up top during OV time" lol

   We didn't bother with the woman on top thing when TTC...always missionary or doggy (sorry tmi). For the reasons Tauris gave (deep penetration).    Also, I stayed lying down with a pillow under my hips for 20 minutes or so. Seemed to work. I liked using TTC as an excuse to get off from being on top..I'm too lazy haha   |

   After years of infertility I conceived my son when I was on top.  It was the only time we did it that month too as we had DPs dad staying with us and limited opportunities to have couple time, so I definately know that was when it happened.  Hmmm (TMI) but I had really good orgasm that time so maybe that helped.  Hehe maybe I should abstain for a bit until horniness gets the better of me again as we're struggling to conceive number 2.

   We conceived via me lying down and as lilfatty said enjoy the view   I also went to sleep with a pillow under my hips  Another thing we did the one time after 6 months of TTC, and then we conceived may be coindence but who knows.... that we heard about was "sperm competition" - may be TMI....but appartenly when a guy is in a long term relationship with no chance of needing to compete with other guys to impregnate his sperm number decreases rah rah, so him watching a visual of guy/girl whoopee and seeing ummm "sperm competition..." causes a increase in his sperm number to then "compete"......I didn't believe it first, thought my DP friend was just joking but then when I looked it up online there was actually articles & reseach about it.....so yeah we gave it a go, figured why not and got something to watch that we would both enjoy....... |
