Question 1

how can i improve my cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Cervical mucus: Cervical mucus (CM) produced with ovulation is clear and provides a vehicle for sperm transportation into the womb. If "CM" is not clear, you may have a vaginal infection. If not and infection, see your healthcare provider for testing and medication to assist with attempts at pregnancy, if applicable.

Question 2

can i use robitussin/guaifenesin to improve cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: These drugs are over the counter meds and are strictly used to thin the mucus of the upper respiratory tract.  I do not believe Guaifenesin would have an effect on cervical mucus.

Question 3

i have pcos & we are ttc. sex is very painfull for me due to lack of cervical mucus. it is very dry all the time! how can i improve this?

Accepted Answer

Lubricant: A water soluble over the counter  lubricant such as Astroglide or K-Y can resolve your issue. A greater concern is whether or not your ovaries(PCOS) are significantly enlarged enough to be struck intra vaginally during intercourse which can give the same painful breathless feeling as a male struck in the testicles. Check with your GYN MD by exam or ultrasound to make sure that isn't a problem.

Question 4

i am trying to conceive and would like to know how to increase the amount of cervical mucus..is  fertile cm safe?if not please suggest ways.

Accepted Answer

Cervical mucous: Cervical mucous is under the control of your body's hormone production and no external products can change its' production. Some things about conception are simply not under the "users control".

Question 5

what causes cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Cervical glands: Cervical Mucus is secreted by glands in the cervix in response to female hormones.  It is a normal part of female physiology.  Best wishes!

Question 6

why do i have cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Cervical mucous character is related to the varying concentration of your hormones.  Irregularities in these levels can cause mucousy discharge.

Question 7

what causes cervical mucus in toilet?

Accepted Answer

Discharge: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.

Question 8

how to stop excessive cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Stop and go: There isn't a way to "stop" cervical mucous production except by dehydration or lack of hormonal support. Many women would love to have this problem as it helps with sexual activity. If this is still a concern to you, please "go"  to a GYN MD and get examined to determine if the cervical mucous is "excessive" or not and the cause.

Question 9

how come i always have cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

That's normal: The cervical glands secrete mucus all the time - sometimes more, sometimes less. It can vary in response to hormonal changes.

Question 10

what are the cycles of cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Cervical Mucous: Cervical mucous is usually most noticeable around the time of ovulation when it is characteristically clear and string like.
