I was looking online and although we have talked about it, I just wanted to share it to those who are new to the board

Improving the Quantity of Your Cervical Mucus

Cervical mucus has a very important role in the conception phase. It is vital that you improve the quantity of your cervical mucus as it aids the sperm in its journey to locate the egg. Therefore, the mucus must be prevalent enough to keep the sperm flowing in the direction of the egg.

One way to improve your cervical mucus quantity is to cut back on certain substances. Items such as caffeine and tobacco will hinder the production of cervical mucus and make it more difficult for the sperm to reach the egg. Eliminating or decreasing the intake of these items will help the process greatly.

Another way to improve your cervical mucus quantity is to drink enough fluids each day. Water is the best type of fluid to drink and you should drink approximately 10-6 oz. glasses of water per day. Besides drinking water each day, you should also drink grapefruit juice. The components of the grapefruit juice will aid in helping to produce extra cervical mucus which will in turn help you in your conception endeavors.

There are also certain substances which have been recommended in the past to aid in improving cervical mucus quantities. Some have suggested that 1,000 IU of Evening Primrose Oil be taken by the woman each day during the time period from the first day of her cycle through ovulation. Others have stated that 1,000 mg of red raspberry be taken anytime during the cycle.

These are just some ways in which you can help improve the quantity of your cervical mucus and help make conception that much more likely.

Quality of Cervical Mucus

You should also try to improve the quality of the cervical mucus. Frequently a woman will have a good quantity of cervical mucus but the quality will be lacking in some way. Women may find that their cervical mucus is too thick or hostile for conception. When this is the case, a doctor may recommend Robitussin or Guaifenesin to thin out the cervical mucus thereby improving the quality. If you have an issue with the quality of your cervical mucus you can gain peace of mind in knowing that there are ways to improve the quality and increase your chances of conception.
