Get Pregnant Tip#1 – Increase your Cervical Mucus

Welcome visitor from to Getpregnantblog.com .

To get pregnant the sperm must be able to swim up the channel to the fallopian tubes where they can meet the egg. In order for the sperm to do this they need to have the correct environment. There are many elements that are required to create the correct physical environment.

The importance of Cervical Mucus

One of them is moisture. If the vagina and the channel are too dry, the sperm has reduced chances of making it successfully to the egg. This is where Cervical Mucus (CM) comes in. One of the primary roles of Cervical Mucus is to create the right level of lubrication for the sperm.

Cervical Mucus is produced by the cervix and one of the primary factors in adequate Cervical Mucus production is proper diet. Diet plays are large role in the reproductive process, from producing healthy sperm and eggs to creating the right environment to facilitate conception and implantation. But I will discuss diet in detail in another tip.

Vitamin E to get pregnant 

One vitamin which has been said to increase Cervical Mucus is Vitamin E. Folklore suggests that taking up to 1000mg of Vit E per day during the first half of the cycle will increase cervical mucus. Personally, I never really saw much of an increase in Cervical Mucus with increased Vitamin E intake. Perhaps my diet already had adequate Vitamin E.

Water to get pregnant

What did help me was an increased intake of water. Water is one of the more vital, usually unnoted, components of successful conception. Whenever I drink as much water as I possibly can – a little more than the 8 glasses a day, I have the most Cervical Mucus and least annoying PMS.

Carrots to get pregnant

Another dietary change which heralds greater Cervical Mucus eating more carrots. Raw carrots. I would buy bags of the mini-carrots and munch on those all day long up to ovulation. It resulted in fantastic Cervical Mucus production. It is cautioned not to continue eating carrots after ovulation as some sources say they cause uterine contractions.

Lubricant to get pregnant

If you try all these methods and you still find that your CM is minimal, you might want to try a personal lubricant. But be careful to ensure that it is sperm friendly. The lubricant which my research has shown to be most sperm-friendly is Pre-Seed Intimate Moisturizer. It seems to mimic Cervical Mucus almost exactly. I know of six women who got pregnant the first cycle they used the Pre-Seed.

Hope this tip helps you to get pregnant.
