Getting Pregnant - Tips on Cervical Mucus

I'm sure you've heard of cervical mucus - its the gooey stuff that a woman produces around the peak of her fertility cycle. It is through this medium that the little sperm will (hopefully) swim through to reach its happy little goal.  When you're ovulating (at the most fertile time of your cycle), your cervical mucus should have the consistency of raw egg whites. But what if your cervical mucus never gets that gooey? Well, here are some tips for ladies trying to get pregnant that don't have optimal cervical mucus.




1) Take a supplement.  There is a vitamin/herbal supplement called FertileCM specifically designed to improve the quality of cervical mucus. (The web site is also another great resource to read more about healthy cervical mucus properties.)




2) Going for raw egg white consistency in your cervical mucus? Why not just use raw egg whites? The blog Fertility-Over-40 posted an article called Using Egg Whites to Get Pregnant.  It's all about warming up a good old fashion chicken egg to room temperature, cracking it open, separating the yolk from the whites ...And then you put the whites exactly where you think you put them... It sounds a little weird to me, but if it works -  it works!  It seems like there are a lot of success stories using egg whites, and a few infection stories.

Proceed with caution, I suppose.


3) Try a sperm friendly lubricant.  Beware, most lubes do not have the right consistency to conduct sperm, even if they're not labeled as "spermicidal".  As far as I know, the only sperm friendly lubricant on the market is Pre~Seed which comes in one use pouches and reusable tubes. If you buy from www.Early-pregnancy-tests.com they'll give you free shipping and send you a could pregnancy tests with your purchase!

So that's today's tips on getting pregnant! Best of luck!
