There are many different tips and strategies that can help you gain new ideas and improve your knowledge on ways to get pregnant.  This time, we are going to focus on one of them.  Though it is not given that much attention, it can really increase your chances of getting pregnant.

Cervical fluid is a very important thing when you are planning to get pregnant.  Throughout your monthly cycle, cervical mucus changes in texture and consistency, and if you want to get pregnant, then you should follow it very closely.

Your cervical mucus is similar to raw egg whites when you are about to ovulate very soon.  This means that you better be timing your intercourse for several days leading up to and including ovulation.  In short, cervical mucus helps you determine the days that you should have intercourse, which will increase your chances of conceiving.

Sperm, on the other hand, can live for a span of time, more likely five to seven days.  Depending on the sperm’s gender (male or female), it can determine how much days they can live.  Female sperms can live longer than male sperms.  Nevertheless, this means that if you have intercourse for five to six days before you ovulate, you can still get pregnant as long as the sperm is alive and kicking inside you.  You can do that with good quality cervical mucus.  Good quality mucus means sperm friendly mucus.  So how do you create a good quality cervical mucus?

There are several ways which you can improve your cervical mucus.  One is drinking a lot of water.  Drinking at least eight glasses a day can create a cervical mucus that is low in acidity.  Another one is eating a lot of baby carrots.  Carrots have beta carotene or vitamin A, which has been known to improve the amount and quality of your cervical mucus.  You can also take plain Robitussin.  Robitussin works for your cervical mucus just like the way it works for the other mucus in other parts of your body.  This also thins your cervical mucus making it a sperm friendly fluid.  Remember however that plain Robitussin should only be taken (not Robitussin DM).

If you do those things, you should have more than adequate cervical fluid, which should keep those sperms alive for days and eventually get to where the egg lies and get you pregnant.
