My first cycle off BCP I didn't have much either, which was very different from when I got pregnant last time.

I'm not sure if this actually works or not, but some ladies have shared with me that drinking V8 Splash helps increase CM.

You could try Evening Primrose Oil capsuls.


I'm taking 2000mg a day and I have a decent amount of EWCM now.


Don't used it after Ovulation though. I swap to Flax Seed oil.


Good Luck

I have the same problem and I am 2 months off the Pill. I am reading Toni Weschler's book Taking Charge of Your Fertility and she said that potential causes include coming off the Pill (which could resolve in a few months) and taking antihistamines, so I stopped taking Claritin. She suggests taking Robitussin or Mucinex twice a day (with only the ingredient of Guaifensen) to loosen the mucus, starting 4 days before peak ovulation day and ending 2 days after your thermal shift and also Vitamine B6 500 mg once a day. She said that amoxycillin also works even better to create mucus (500 mg oral 3 times a day starting 4 days before peak ovulation day). I have read elsewhere online that Evening Primrose Oil supplements work, too. I found similar information from other sources, including this website on how to increase CM.

I am seeing a fertility specialist and he didn't have any suggestions other than IUI and b/c I am 39 I don't want to delay so I did an IUI a few days ago but I will give these remedies a shot in upcoming months. Taking lots of fluids makes sense, if you are dehydrated you won't be able to make much mucus.

Good luck.
