Position during sex doesn't matter. Just elevate your feet and legs after the fact.

Many experts suspect that the missionary position (man on top) affords the best opportunity for baby-making, though no definitive studies have been done on this question. This position allows for the deepest penetration and, as a result, places sperm closer to the cervix. For additional effectiveness, the woman can try elevating her hips with a pillow so her cervix is exposed to the maximum amount of semen.
Other possibilities (in case you get bored):
> Rear-entry, when the man enters the woman from behind, either lying down or kneeling, can also deposit sperm close to the cervix and aid conception.
> Lying side-by-side — this can be a relaxing position (great for promoting good sex) and easier on a partner who is overweight or has a bad back — can also help with conception.
Some clinicians also believe that a woman can further increase the likelihood of conception by remaining in bed for up to half an hour following intercourse, preferably on her back and, again, with a pillow under her pelvic region. In theory, this provides the sperm with additional travel time up to the fallopian tube along with help from the forces of gravity. For women predisposed to getting urinary tract infections and advised to go to the bathroom immediately after intercourse, this is obviously not the best option.
Experts recommend that you avoid having sex while sitting, standing, or with the female on top. These positions defy gravity and may discourage the upward mobility of sperm.

The Missionaries always told people that it was their position that was best. I am not trying to be funny. When they do artificial insemunation, they ask the lady to stay laying on her back for ten minutes after they complete the process. They never say, "bend over the desk".

I read the missionary is the best. I read that woman on top was not a good position because alot of the sperm comes back out

Position doesn't matter. My friend got pregnant by following her doctor's instructions. It's simple. After sex, just make sure you lie on your back and keep your legs elevated.

No position is going to help you have a higher rate of concieving...just make love and relax, nature will run its course.

Actually, you should have sex when you are ovulating, which is 14 days after your period (you start counting from the first day you period started).
