Dr. Curtis Wong answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Trying to conceive: Your chances are best when ovulating and in a position where the semen has the help of gravity to gather around your cervix. This usually means the missionary position with your hips elevated on pillows. Diet usually doesn't affect the ability to conceive but suggest a google search to shed light on this.
