Giving birth to a child makes a mother feel joyous, ecstatic, empowered, and indestructible. Furthermore, the extent of her happiness when she gives birth to twins or multiples is immeasurable.
Over the years the twin birth rate has pepped up due to fertility treatments. Yet, natural efforts to increase your chances of conceiving twins can’t be discounted. One of the natural methods worth giving a shot at is trying different sex positions to conceive twins.
Do you want to have twins, even if it encompasses doubling the hard work required in raising a child? You should decide carefully. The hard work we talk of includes changing double the number of diapers among other things!
If you answered yes, why not try some natural tricks that may increase your chances of conceiving two cuties in one shot? We’re not saying this always works. But, one of the tricks we’re emphasizing here is trying certain recommended sex positions to conceive twins. Since it doesn’t cost anything to try, nor does it hurt to do so, why not have some extra fun under the sheets?
There’s no exact science or evidence behind this. Yet, many individuals and mythical beliefs have triggered the popularity of some sex positions that could increase the odds of conceiving twins. Each recommended position is instrumental in releasing the sperm as close as possible to the cervix.
The notional advice derived from such individuals and myths is — instead of leaving having twins entirely up to chance, you may try these 6 sex positions to conceive twins naturally. If you don’t achieve the desired result, at least you’ll end up having some fun.
Best Sex Positions For Conceiving Twins
1. Missionary Position
If we were to recommend the one best sexual position for pepping up your chances of conceiving twins, it would be the missionary position. Central to this position is the fact that this is a man-on-top position. Hence, gravity is in favor of the little rascals (sperm) swimming to the egg(s) ASAP — and probably even conceive twins.
In this position, the woman’s cervix is relatively better aligned with the upper end of her vaginal entry point. That’s where (vaginal opening) the freshly ejaculated semen gets pooled.
This famous man-on-top sexual position permits the pooled sperm to flow super-efficiently from your vaginal opening toward your cervix. Gravity favors the flow of sperm here, yet some suggest — and this is a tip — placing a pillow under her hips further enhances the angle.
The down-stream angle and gravity help bring sperm closer to the cervical opening as compared to other sex positions. This energizes the odds of directing a greater number of sperm to reach the right destination at the right time. Hence, there’s a higher probability of conceiving twins.
2. Side-By-Side Scissoring Position
In this position, both partners are facing each other while their legs are in a scissoring position for deeper penetration. This is one of the best sex positions to achieve greater depth of penetration while also charging up oxytocin (the love hormone). Due to deeper entry, sperm can reach the cervix relatively quicker. Hence, the chances of conceiving twins are greater.
This position helps as a way of bonding and feeling emotionally intimate, which can work as a bonus for the female partner as she may end up orgasming. A female orgasm isn’t necessary for conception to occur, but according to some theories, it could.
One such theory has to do with how during an orgasm, contractions of the uterus help semen deposited near the cervix of the vagina to get sucked up so that the sperm can swim to their destination more efficiently.
3. Standing Up Position
There are a plethora of standing-up sex positions. Yet, for increasing your chances of conceiving twins we’re referring to the one similar to doggy style. Here instead of being on all fours, the woman is bending over at her waist while her partner grips her stomach or hands for support, while simultaneously penetrating her from behind.
The couple’s chances of conceiving twins increases as the deep penetration results in the cervix being more approachable to the sperm.
4. Rear Entry, or “Doggy Style” Position
We humans have learned a lot from other species, particularly dogs. The doggy style position entails the woman lays on all fours while her partner penetrates from behind. To get the best angle, make sure the woman’s booty is in the air while her torso slants down towards the mattress. Through this position, the man can penetrate real deep, allowing sperm to get as close as possible to the cervix.
The “Doggie style” sex position is incredible for impregnation. Particularly if you’re trying to boost your chances of having twins. This is because it grants amazing penetration depth, making it possible to put the head of the penis right at the cervical opening . Smooth sailing for sperm to reach their destination on target, eh!
5. Legs on Shoulders Position
The legs on top of the shoulders position is what you get when you fine-tune the missionary position a couple of notches. Having said that, this position may be one of the best sex positions to conceive twins naturally. So give it a shot!
In this position, the woman’s legs are hooked on her partner’s shoulders, while she’s lying on her back and being penetrated by him. During intercourse, gravity helps the man’s penis be completely drawn to the woman’s vagina. Next, post ejaculation, the sperm finds it a breeze to travel up to and through the cervix.
Another way of looking at this position is — you get the benefits of deep penetration as with the doggy style position, while you get to look at your partner’s eyes. So go ahead, try this fantastic sex position, whereby gravity aids in sliding sperm right into home plate!
6. Reverse Cowgirl Position
This is an incredible woman-on-top position that gives the woman complete control during intercourse. During the action, the man lays flat on his back, while the woman rides his penis sitting on him with her eyes towards his feet.
The key take here is, having control over the depth of penetration, allows the woman to ensure she’s in the optimal position for sperm to swim past her cervix. This increases the chances of conception, bringing your desire to have twins one big step closer to realization.
For women who have a tipped or retroverted uterus, this position creates the perfect angle to help sperm reach the cervix. If you don’t know if your uterus is tipped or retroverted, it doesn’t hurt to try this position anyway, even if it’s for fun. Who knows, twins might be in the pipeline for you.
Summing Up
Those were the top six sex positions to try if you want to boost your chances of having a double bundle of joy in one go. Identical twins can happen only by chance, yet to know better the chances of having fraternal twins, consider digging through your family history and heridity as well.
Other natural methods, again not backed by any scientific evidence, include certain herbs that are recommended through Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Also, exercising to maintain better reproductive health, and some common sense measures such as stopping birth control pills a year before family planning will also be of help.
