Brief Answer:
simple precautions advised for 3 months

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand the anxiety related to the issue.
You can try following measures to enhance the chances of conception -
1) try to keep a pillow beneath her buttocks after sex so that gravitational force keeps the semen inside her vagina for a longer time.
2) she 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 in case she has regular cycles.
I hope these measures will help you in conception in near future.
Try above mentioned measures for 3 months and in case you still don't get lucky then get certain tests done viz - TSH, prolactin levels and ultrasound on day 2 of her periods to see antral follicle count. Along with these also get your semen analysis done.
Get the reports and then you can discuss them anytime on health care magic.
I basically practice infertility so in case you have any questions in future you can contact me directly on http://bit.ly/drmanishajain.
