Ok, I know its best to be on your back with a pillow, but I dont like it! I want on top. Is it still as effective if I am on top and then roll over and lay on a pillow with my legs up for a while or do I need to just suck it up? Sorry if this is tmi or a weird question!

Everywhere I read it says that the best position is missionary or from behind. Being on top is not good since it all leaks out. We all have to make sacrifices to get what we want, haha. I would say stick with mission for the 2 weeks around ovulation and then save on top for other times. Somehting to look forward too

I don't think that there is any conclusive evidence that one way works better than another. I've read where they think that Missionary places the sperm closer to the cervix openning, therefore aiding their journey. I have also heard that women's orgasm prior to men might also aid by pulling the semen into the cervix. Also...I was reading (somewhere - think it was a PG mag) yesterday, that they are studying whether enjoyment during BD plays a part. This means before, during, after.

So...I say, if you enjoy it one way, go for it!! You may want to change it up every now & then for variety. But Have Fun! : )

Do what works for you, I mean you know your body and whats going on. If you are on top does it run out before you can turn over? Can you guys stay "engaged" and turn back over so it doesn't lose the "plug" until you are back on your back? *giggling at myself typing this* Sorry just applying some common sense here, if you are on top and it all runs out, then that doesn't work for you. Plus since I usually can't see straight or walk afterwards, laying there for 15-20 minutes works just fine for me ;)

I don't think any one position works more than others, I mean gravity is certainly going to play a part, and you need to use common sense, but I'm sure there are plenty of women who have gotten PG, on top, on the bottom, sideways, standing up, in the backseat of the car, in the shower, on the kitchen table LOLOLOLLOL the list goes on.......As evidenced by the many women who get PG while not obsessivly TTC like us ;)

Not meaning to offend just trying to keep everything in perspective :)

HA! Thank you for your incredibly humorous responses! I dont think it leaks out when I am on top and then immediately roll over while still "engaged". I mean, it of course does when I get up agter laying on my back for 20 min...but thats normal, right? Its not as much as if I dont lay there, but a little.

thanks guys! I am going to have fun tonight!

Oh, one more question...yesterday we bd'ed twice (we were just in the mood) and the day before we did it once. I havent o'ed yet because I havent gotten the thick cm I usually get with it, but I could at any time. Should we bd tonight and every night, or wait since we did it twice yesterday? Its so confusing!
