Brief Answer:
Mid cycle explained
Detailed Answer:
To increase the chances of pregnancy you can try following measures -
1) try to keep a pillow beneath your buttocks after sex so that gravitational force keeps the semen inside your vagina for a longer time.
2) should not get up for at least 20-25 minutes
3) try conventional position of sex female lying down on bed
4) maximum chances of conception are in day 10-18 of the cycle as you have regular cycles.
I hope these measures will help you in conception in near future.
I basically practice infertility so in case you have any questions in future I will be glad to help.
All the best.
