I have been married for a year now. during sexual intercourse, my husband prefers me being on top. i would like to know whether this could have affected my chances of becoming pregnant. is it necessary that the male partner be on top to ensure conception?

Pleasure Positions: Conception doesn't depend position as long as ejaculation is deep in vagina. Be sure you communicate your preferences so sex is mutually beneficial.
