Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
if you dont drink water at all then this may lead to dehydration which is not good if you are planning to have a baby and not good if you become pregnant ,dehydration not only may affect fertility but also may affects your pregnancy if you become pregnant
to increase cervical mucus then:
1-Drink a lot of water throughout the day. This may be all you need, drink more water. Cervical mucous is made up of 90% water, so if you are not hydrating your body your cervical mucous production may lessen. Regardless if you use any of the supplements to help, you must drink enough water for your body to be able to make cervical mucous. Drink at least 8 full glasses of clean filtered water a day.
2-Be sure you are getting enough essential fatty acids each day in your diet. If you cannot get these through the foods you are eating, you may want to consider taking a complete omega supplement which contains omega 3, 6 and 9.
3- Many herbs can support the health of our mucous membranes, including how they function. Many of those same herbs also support hormonal balance, which is necessary for appropriate cervical fluid changes.
4-In the meantime, while you are working on the other 3 steps, consider using a natural lubricant to support the sperm in reaching the ova
NOTE:begin taking follic acid 400 micrograms since you are planning to be pregnant and consider other factors affecting fertility ,consider timing ,limit your caffeine intake,stress interfere too,...

Estrogen increases cervical mucus secretion. The mucus becomes copious, clearer and thinner. If you don't drink water all, you can't get pregnant because cervical mucous is 90% water.
