Need Fertile Cervical Mucus?

I am suffering from vaginal dryness and using lubricants - lubic gel for intercourse.

It's going to be our 4th year of marriage and we are badly waiting for a child, but no result.

I had done all my tests and even took one cycle of IUI, but with no result.

I fear it may be due to lack of cervical mucus the sperm is not able to swim, which is in turn affecting the chances of getting pregnant.

Before the doctor put me on Clomid for 5 months, telling me that I have a low progesterone level, but during IUI the doctor told me my condition is perfectly normal. I had an HSG done, and that also was normal.

Please help.

Cervical Mucus Necessary
by: Sally

I'm not familiar with Lubic gel. Is this a gel prescribed by your doctor?

Most lubricants are not sperm friendly and actually will kill or damage sperm. Preseed lubricant is one that is sperm friendly and can be used safely while trying to conceive.

Cervical mucus is necessary in order for the sperm to travel to their destination to fertilize the awaiting egg.

Lack of cervical mucus can be a hormone issue or it can be simply a dehydration issue.

If you haven't gotten full blood work done already, I would do that first.

Then I would concentrate on cutting back on caffeine and alcohol (or quitting altogether) and drinking lots of water, especially around ovulation time.

Evening primrose oil and Vitex are also helpful for increasing cervical mucus and inducing ovulation.

Make sure your timing is focused by having intercourse 2 to 3 times leading up to ovulation. If you don't know when you ovulate, it is very important to use a couple different methods (outlined here) in order to know when to focus on baby-making intercourse.
