Get pregnant Tip #3: Increase your cervical mucus with Grapefruit Juice

Welcome visitor from to Getpregnantblog.com .

~ Hope is a desire with an expectation of accomplishment. ~

A previous tip discussed the importance of cervical mucus in conceiving a baby and various methods for increasing cervical mucus. The methods discussed in that tip were increased intake of Vitamin E, Carrots and Water. Also discussed was the use of the sperm-friendly lubricant Pre-Seed.

Further research has suggested a few more techniques that might help to increase cervical mucus. One is the increased intake of Grapefruit Juice or Grapefruits. Fresh grapefruits will probably be the most effective however grapefruit juice is also apparently quite effective. It is important to ensure that there are no added sugars or chemicals in it.

How much and when?

It may not be necessary to drink large amounts of it. This is really lucky because grapefruit juice is not kind to everyone’s taste buds! You can start with about a cup or 8oz. Take it from immediately after your period right up to Ovulation. If you try 8oz and see no difference then you can try more if you like.

How it works?

Grapefruit juice although acidic has an alkalizing effect on the body so it not only helps to create more cervical mucus but also helps to create more sperm-friendly mucus. The vaginal environment is usually acidic and the grapefruit juice helps to create a more alkaline environment.
