We will be looking at how to increase your fertility by charting your cervical mucus in this article.
One important thing that you will notice once you start charting, is the distinctive pattern of cervical mucus throughout your monthly cycle.
Unlike men who are always fertile, a woman is only fertile for a few days around her ovulation and therefore only produces the substance necessary for sperm mobility and nourishment during that time.
Did you know that the cervical mucus you produce during your fertile periods resemble the semen? Let’s look at the cervical mucus in stages and how knowing this can help you get pregnant:

1. How Your Cervical Mucus Changes In A Month
Stage 1: Right after your period you may have a very dry vaginal secretion.
Stage 2: After a few days of this dryness, you may begin to develop a type of cervical mucus that can be described as sticky, sort of like a paste.
Stage 3: Then it turns creamy. Sometimes it is so wet and creamy it is difficult to hold.
Appearance of Fertile Cervical Mucus
Stage 4: The final and most fertile cervical mucus resembles raw egg white. It is extremely slippery and stretchy. It can also be very watery and may even leave a fairly symmetrical round pattern of fluid on your underwear due to its high water content.
The most important feature of this extremely fertile cervical mucus is it’s lubricative quality. If you are therefore looking to get pregnant you need to pay attention to the slippery sensation you feel as you approach ovulation.
A tip to help you identify the actual quality of your cervical mucus is to notice what it feels like when you run your tissue across your vaginal lips. Does it feel dry, smooth, or does it glide across?
2. Natural Ways To Increase Your Fertlity- Factors That Can Affect Your Cervical Mucus That You Need To Be Aware off
You should also be aware that as with temperature there are certain factors which can potentially mask cervical mucus. Some of them are:
a) Vaginal infections
b) Seminal fluid
c) Arousal fluid
d) Spermicides and lubricants
e) Antihistamines (this has the tendency to dry the cervical mucus)
If you have recently come off the pill you may notice one of two things:
1. You may not produce much cervical mucus at all since the pill can temporarily compromise the ability of the vagina to develop healthy cervical mucus.
2. On the other hand YOU COULD have continuous fertile quality fluid for up to several months. This is caused by the excess synthetic oestrogen being released from the fatty tissues in the body.
Another reason for the presence of excess fertile fluid is that women on the pill often develop cervical erosion, a condition in which the lining of the cervical canal grows out over the opening of the cervix causing an irritation that leads to a type of wet cervical mucus.
So, bottom line is this, you are most fertile when your cervical mucus is like raw eggwhite, stretchy, slippery and clear. If your aim is to become pregnant then ensure that you have intercourse every day that you have wet, eggwhite, stretchy cervical mucus or vaginal sensation.
3. How To Increase Your Fertility – Understanding The Position Of Your Cervix
Your cervix, the lower part of your uterus, extends into the vagina and goes through some amazing changes throughout your cycle, all which you can easily feel.
Get Pregnant By Charting Your Cervical Mucus
As with the cervical fluid, the cervix itself prepares for pregnancy every cycle by transforming into a perfect “biological gate” through which the sperm can pass on their way to finding the egg.
It does this by becoming soft and open around ovulation in order to allow the sperm passage through the uterus and on to the fallopian tube.
After your period and under the influence of oestrogen, your cervix starts to change. One of the best ways to remember how your cervix feels as you approach ovulation is the acronym SHOW which stands for Soft, High, Open, Wet
Your cervix is normally firm like the tip of your nose, but as you approach ovulation is changes and becomse soft and rather mushy, like your lips.
In addition it is normally fairly low and closed feeling somewhat like a dimple, but it then rises and opens in response to oestrogen around ovulation.
Lastly it is the cervix itself that emits fertile quality wet cervical fluid when the egg is to be released.
So if you are looking for tips on on how to get pregnant, start charting your cervix. Start to feel it on a regular basis so that you can begin to tell when you are approaching ovulation. Remember when you are close to being very fertile, your cervix will start to feel soft, mushy and open
