Conception in the cowgirl position

Hello,
Probably a crazy question, but has anyone become pregnant from girl on top??? I much prefer this position to man on top!

Any opinions??? :D

Pregnancy can result from unprotected intercourse in any position.

Chunkychicken · 05/03/2012 23:20

Yep. Pretty sure DD was a product of that particular activity... As long as the sperm meets egg, you can get preggers!!

You can, but if you want to maximise chances of pregnancy it's better to do missionary with legs up, apparently. Woman on top has more chance of some of the sperm coming out.

KatAndKit · 06/03/2012 08:32

The legs up thing is a load of bollocks. Sperm are ejaculated at a high speed in order to get them right up to the cervix. Any that fall out after that point were not good enough quality to get past the first obstacle.

There is a good reason why there are 300 million in each "deposit". 99% will fall out. Only the best of the best can get to your egg. But that still means 3 million will be getting through and you only need the one.

Have sex in whatever position or positions you like. If it makes you feel better, lie down on your back for ten minutes afterwards and have a nice cuddle.

Is it really? Oh well, won't worry too much about doing the legs thing while SWI. I have noticed (sorry if TMI) that a lot comes out after the woman on top position, and doesn't so much after the others but if it doesn't make a lot of difference it's nice to not have to keep that one in mind! (Another negative pg test today...sigh.)

GinPalace · 06/03/2012 16:46

to be fair - if you orgasm that is the biggest help you can give the little swimmers as the contractions help them along in the right direction - so if that is more likely to happen in that position - YEEHAAAAA

If you are an agile couple, he could sit up and flip you over before withdrawing...

You are doing better than me then! 35 weeks, also SPD and haven't managed it in a couple of weeks now. Getting in and out of bed is hard enough!!

during on my high chance of getting pregnant we do withdrawal and im on a cowgirl position, what is my chance on not to get pregnant? and i also immediately pee and took a quick bath after

TheDaydreamBelievers · 30/08/2020 08:41

@amcsmooth - the withdrawal method is not a reliable method of contraception, especially not if you are using it on your most fertile days. Youd be better off using condoms on your most fertile days. Peeing after has no impact on your likelihood of conceiving (but si good to avoid UTIs!). Not sure about the bath to be honest but seems a huge faff!

amcsmooth · 30/08/2020 08:53

i mean im on his top and and he withdraws it

amcsmooth · 30/08/2020 09:04

@TheDaydreamBelievers
so will i get pregnant? cowgirl position and withdrawals but on my fertility days?

Just use a bloody condom.
TheDaydreamBelievers · 30/08/2020 10:33

@amcsmooth - you could get pregnant. If you dont want to get pregnant, use contraception (condoms, pills, implant, coil). Withdrawal doesnt count, especially not on fertile days.
