The consistency of cervical mucus changes during the Menstral cycle .  Mucous changes are recorded on a chart, and previous cycles are used as guides. The mucous in the first phase is generally white, creamy and sticky which indicates low fertility. Later the mucous becomes wetter and more plentiful. Right before Ovulation the mucous changes into a thinner and slicker consistency, which indicates high fertility. Basal body temperature Keeping a record of your basal body temperature also helps you to estimate your fertile time.

Consume a diet rich in folic acid. Begin making healthy changes 3 months to a year before you conceive. In addition to a healthy diet, encourage supplements to increase the probability that you get all the nutrients you need. Avoid artificial sweeteners.
