How can I have 5 days of egg white cervical mucus?

Question

I don't have a lot of egg white cervical mucus and

I was wondering if there was anything I could do to make myself produce 4-5 days of egg white cervical mucus to heighten my chance of conception?

Answer 1

Well, first of all, even extreamly fertile women in their 20's usually only have about 4 days of EWCM.

Other wise, the only thing I've ever heard that is supposed to help (but only a little) is taking plain robutussen.

Otherwise, some people seem to believe that using Pre-Seed might help make for a EWCM replacement, but if you read thier liturature carefully, the only claim the Pre-Seed makes is that it is a sperm friendly lubricant.

Answer 2

yeah, your first avenue is WATER WATER WATER!!!  If your dehydrated, your mucus is one of the things that will "dry up"

you could try the robitussin, mucinex, generic brand if you like, you  just have to make sure the only ingredient is guaifenisin (sp).  2tsp     2-3X/day for a week prior to ovulation.  I tried it a few months back but had no change.

I have been using evening primrose oil for the last 2 months.  last month I was only able to take it for one week instead of two, and I had beautiful EWCM show the day before ovulation.  That's all I saw but I was pretty impressed considering I haven't had any since my miscarriage in March.  Call it coincidence or what, but I'm trying it again this month.  You take 3000mg/day (2pills 3x/day) starting the first day of your period up until ovulation.  DO NOT take it after ovulation as it can cause contractions in the uterus.

I tried pre-seed for two months..... honestly, it's more like a lubricant than EWCM and doesn't seem to last long.  Don't get me wrong, it's GREAT stuff, I just don't think it was the thing for me.

Also, I have my hubby taking a multivitamin starting this month to increase his Zinc (15mg).  It's supposed to aid in sperm numbers and motility..... we'll see!!

Good luck and baby dust!!

Answer 3

Sometimes we think its that but us women might get it confused with sperm.

Answer 4

funny, i was just reading about this tonight too--- apparantly if you drink loads of water 8 glasses a day it will help

apparantly robatussin (cant spell it dont think ive ever taken it) helps to move mucus and unblock cloggs, just like down there.

and there was something else, but I think the best way is just to bd as soon as you see this- sperm will last a couple of days alive as well (3-5 aprox) so if you are ready and do it right when you see your ewcm you will hopefully be perfectly timed!

good luck and loads of baby dust!

Thanks as well for the Primrose oil help, I too wanted to know more about this. =)
