Fertility Herb Guide: Cervical Mucus

Elizabeth Willett - M.A., Certified Herbalist
July 25, 2021

[testimonial style=”green”]Ladies, for a few days mid-cycle each month, it’s actually important to feel wet down there. This is caused by fertile cervical mucus (CM) which indicates ovulation may soon happen and helps sperm travel to fertilize an egg.

Important steps for promoting healthy cervical mucus production throughout the cycle are:
-> Hydrate: Drink a lot of water throughout the day.
-> Take nutritional supplements like essential fatty acids (EFAs)
-> Use herbs to promote circulation and mucus membrane health (see them below…)[/testimonial]

Proven ways to reduce stress for hormone health

Studies show that hormonal imbalances caused by high cortisol levels can stop the LH surge needed for ovulation.

This causes anovulatory cycles.

The key to reducing stress is threefold.

➡️ Reduce the cause of the stress: do what you can to remove the cause of the stress, change jobs, create boundaries in relationships, etc.

➡️ Shift how you react to the stress: use tools to practice resilience and to manage stress when you are experiencing it. Meditation and exercise is amazing for this.

➡️ Support the nervous system to become more resilient when stress is experienced. This is where herbs come into play.

There are two fertility herbs that I have seen give amazing results for reducing stress.

🍓 Schizandra berry: Schizandra is a berry that has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has a wide range of health benefits, including its potential to support reproductive health and fertility.

It’s adaptogenic properties make it particularly effective in helping the body resist the effects of stress.

Schizandra has a positive impact on the endocrine system, which is responsible for hormone production and regulation.

🍃 Ashwagandha root: Ashwagandha, known scientifically as Withania somnifera, is a powerful adaptogen revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to enhance vitality and reduce stress. Its benefits for reproductive health are man for both male and female fertility.

Ashwagandha helps in regulating cortisol levels, thereby reducing stress and creating a positive impact on fertility.

A study published in the journal “Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine” found that Ashwagandha supplementation led to a considerable improvement in semen parameters in men dealing with stress-related infertility.

✨Both of these adaptogens are included in my Fertility Superfoods formula because of how beneficial they are for stress-related fertility. They work “in the moment” to reduce stress and increase vitality while also building up your resiliency to stress overtime. These are the types of herbs you can feel working. ✨

This is what I want you to know about fertility...

It can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to start.

BUT...

👏 You can have an impact on your own reproductive health. I call it self-health care and have seen results day in and out of women transforming their hormonal health, periods and fertility issues through the use of natural therapies.

✨ You need support and encouragement. Having others in your space (even if it is online) who support you and encourage you is important. Read our success stories when you need motivation.

✨You need to take action. Nothing is going to change if things don’t change. The steps are simple, I can teach you those. Consistency is the “secret”. Many of us get stuck in the information gathering stage but never take action. I know that won’t be you 😉

✨Shifts in reproductive health take time. The body works at its own pace. Coming back into balance can take multiple cycles. Have realistic expectations and patience with yourself. In the long run 3-6 months isn’t very long.

✨Nutrition is underrated. Foods are just as much the solution as the cause. Make nutrition part of your fertility plans no matter what. You don’t have to be perfect but be on purpose.

✨Age ≠ fertility. If you are over 35 your probably feeling the pressure of “age” impacting your fertility. It’s not actually about age. What is important are 2 things. Ovulation and Egg Health. Focusing on these two areas will take you 10x farther than worrying about age.

✨Know thy body. One of the most important tools that I teach is how to read the feedback your body is giving you about your reproductive health.If you can understand your body’s signs - you will have clarity on what to focus in on.

✨You need to commit to a plan and follow through. The results of the ‘Formula’ are pretty predictable. It is the accumulation of 17 years of supporting women with natural therapies put into an easy to use guide & checklist.

It’s not about age...

Are you tired of constantly hearing warnings about your age limiting your chances of getting pregnant?

⏰ The perpetual ticking biological clock?

It’s a narrative almost every woman over 35 faces.

The fear of declining egg quality as you age is not just a scare tactic; it’s a reality many face.

The stark reminder that each year beyond 35 could lessen your chances of conceiving naturally is a heavy burden.

But what if there was something you could do about it by using science and nature to defy the “odds”.

👇 Type EGG in the comments below and I will share all the details in my updated 90 Day Egg Health Checklist.

Focus on these areas FIRST...

You can improve your fertility with natural therapies and lifestyle changes.

This formula is the result of 17 years experience as a fertility herbalist and nutritionist, dedicated to naturally supporting women’s reproductive health.

Here are the top 5 most important things to do.

✨ Clear detoxification pathways - The time while you are preparing for conception is one of the most important times to create a healthy body in preparation for pregnancy. Fertility cleansing is a way to support the body in preparation for conception by cleansing the uterus and liver through the use of herbs.

✨ Nourish your eggs - As we age and live our lives throughout the years, our eggs are being exposed to the environment within our body. If you are 35 and over, make supporting egg health one of your focuses. What you do today is impacting the egg you will ovulate 3 months from now.

✨ Increase circulation to your reproductive system - What does this mean exactly? It means lots of benefits for egg health and uterine lining.

✨ Know your fertile window - knowing WHEN or IF you are ovulating will be very important to getting pregnant sooner than later. Learn what your periods says about your fertility and use this feedback to know which therapies you would most benefit from.

✨ Reduce stress and create a “receptive” uterine lining - I know, I know, being told to “relax” while ttc can make you grind your teeth, there is major benefits to reducing cortisol levels while ttc. And it is not as complicated as you think. Going for daily walks or meditating are both proven ways to reduce daily stress.

For a clear natural fertility plan, comment “BOOST” to get my comprehensive Natural Fertility Formula. This guide will walk you through each step to improve your reproductive health, making it as easy as following a checklist.

This stuff is amazing...

Sea moss is one of my favorite sea weeds to eat for a couple of reasons.

It is high in minerals but is also has almost no taste.

✨ Here are some of its benefits ✨
1. provides 92 of the 102 minerals found in our bodies
2. iodine & selenium for thyroid function
3. rich in magnesium
4. detoxification support
5. provides fiber, prebiotic and probiotics for gut health
6. iron for healthy periods
7. rich in zinc (great for male fertility)
8. source of omega 3 fatty acids

This makes eating sea moss daily really easy.

I like to add 1-2 Tablespoons to my smoothies each day.

If you want to make your own sea moss gel (which will save you money) you will need to prepare it properly.

👉 This is how I make my sea moss gel..

1️⃣ Gather Ingredients & Tools:
1 cup (35g) raw dried sea moss
51 fl oz (1½ liters) water for washing and soaking
1 cup (240ml) water for blending
A blender or food processor
A large bowl
A clean glass jar with a lid

2️⃣ Clean & Rinse:
Add the dried sea moss to a large bowl with a few cups of spring water.
Massage gently with your fingers to remove any dirt or debris. The water will turn cloudy.
Rinse and drain the sea moss thoroughly.

3️⃣ Soak:
Place the cleaned sea moss back into the bowl and cover it with plenty of spring water.
Allow it to soak for 12-24 hours. This helps soften and hydrate the sea moss, turning it lighter in color.

4️⃣ Blend:
Drain the soaked sea moss and add it to a blender with 1 cup of fresh water.
Blend until smooth. For a looser consistency, add more water gradually, one tablespoon at a time.

5️⃣ Store:
Pour the blended gel into a sealable glass jar.
Refrigerate for up to 2-3 weeks. It will thicken as it chills.
For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays and transfer cubes to a freezer bag once solid.

If you don’t want to make your own sea moss, it is one of the foods in our FertiliGreens blend which mixes easily with water or can be added to smoothies.

Fertility Myths about ovulation

👉🏽 Myth #1: Period = ovulation

Fact: Regular periods can occur without ovulation. A period is the uterine lining shedding, not the loss of the egg.

👉🏽 Myth #2: Positive OPK test guarantees ovulation

Fact: Ovulation tests detect the LH surge, indicating your body is preparing to ovulate, but they do not confirm that ovulation has occurred. Confirming ovulation typically requires tracking basal body temperature or hormone levels.

👉🏽 Myth #3: You can only get pregnant on the day you ovulate

Fact: The fertile window can be up to 6 days, including the days leading up to and the day of ovulation, due to sperm’s ability to survive in the female reproductive tract for several days.

👉🏽 Myth #4: Having s3x everyday increases your chances of pregnancy

Fact: While regular intercourse is important, having sex every day can decrease sperm quality. It’s more effective to have sex every 2-3 days during the fertile window.

👉🏽 Myth #5: You always ovulate on day 14 of your cycle

Fact: Ovulation can vary widely among women and even from cycle to cycle. It typically occurs 10-16 days before the start of the next period.

How to know IF and WHEN you are ovulating. ⤵️

Track your basal body temperature daily.

▶️ Measure first thing in the morning.
▶️ Use an app, chart, or digital tool.
▶️ Look for patterns: lower temps before ovulation, higher after.

What your chart says about your fertility:

✔️ BBT tracking can confirm ovulation. - A sustained rise in temperature typically indicates ovulation, crucial for timing intercourse for conception.

✔️Once you start charting, you’ll see patterns. Lower temperatures before ovulation and higher ones after. The day your temperature spikes is likely the day after you’ve ovulated.

Use your body’s feedback to support your reproductive health. The Natural Fertility Formula teaches these tools in detail and gives you the foundation to improve YOUR fertility.

You are THE expert on your own body. Let’s listen to what it is telling you and get started today.

70% of ovulation issues is caused by stress

Studies show that hormonal imbalances caused by high cortisol levels can stop the LH surge needed for ovulation.

This causes anovulatory cycles.

The key to reducing stress is threefold.

➡️ Reduce the cause of the stress: do what you can to remove the cause of the stress, change jobs, create boundaries in relationships, etc.

➡️ Shift how you react to the stress: use tools to practice resilience and to manage stress when you are experiencing it. Meditation and exercise is amazing for this.

➡️ Support the nervous system to become more resilient when stress is experienced. This is where herbs come into play.

There are two fertility herbs that I have seen give amazing results for reducing stress.

🍓 Schizandra berry: Schizandra is a berry that has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has a wide range of health benefits, including its potential to support reproductive health and fertility.

It’s adaptogenic properties make it particularly effective in helping the body resist the effects of stress.

Schizandra has a positive impact on the endocrine system, which is responsible for hormone production and regulation.

🍃 Ashwagandha root: Ashwagandha, known scientifically as Withania somnifera, is a powerful adaptogen revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to enhance vitality and reduce stress. Its benefits for reproductive health are man for both male and female fertility.

Ashwagandha helps in regulating cortisol levels, thereby reducing stress and creating a positive impact on fertility.

These are some of the biggest Fertility Red Flags to keep an eye out for if you are ttc.

🚩 Spotting before your period = low progesterone

🚩 Scanty or light periods = hormone deficiency

🚩 Cycle less than 26 days = not enough time for eggs to mature or for implantation to occur

👍 The good news is that each of these red flags can be fixed through lifestyle upgrades and natural therapies!

Type ‘STEPS’ in the comments below if you want to learn which steps are most important for fertility and hormone health. Let’s turn those red flags green. 💚

The next 90 days...

✨ This is such a golden moment in time and I am sooo glad you came across this post. ✨

Starting the path to bringing new life into this world is truly special and full of emotions, expectations, and transformative moments.

It’s not just a process, but a journey of creating and nurturing life.

The Natural Fertility Formula is your roadmap…

This Formula is the result of 17 years experience as a fertility herbalist and nutritionist, dedicated to naturally supporting women’s reproductive health.

Here are the top 5 most important things to do.

✨ Clear detoxification pathways - The time while you are preparing for conception is one of the most important times to create a healthy body in preparation for pregnancy. Fertility cleansing is a way to support the body in preparation for conception by cleansing the uterus and liver through the use of herbs.

✨ Nourish your eggs - As we age and live our lives throughout the years, our eggs are being exposed to the environment within our body. If you are 35 and over, make supporting egg health one of your focuses. What you do today is impacting the egg you will ovulate 3 months from now.

✨ Increase circulation to your reproductive system - What does this mean exactly? It means lots of benefits for egg health and uterine lining.

✨ Know your fertile window - knowing WHEN or IF you are ovulating will be very important to getting pregnant sooner than later. Learn what your periods says about your fertility and use this feedback to know which therapies you would most benefit from.

✨ Reduce stress and create a “receptive” uterine lining - I know, I know, being told to “relax” while ttc can make you grind your teeth, there is major benefits to reducing cortisol levels while ttc. And it is not as complicated as you think. Going for daily walks or meditating are both proven ways to reduce daily stress.

For a clear natural fertility plan, comment “BOOST” to get my comprehensive Natural Fertility Formula. This guide will walk you through each step to improve your reproductive health, making it as easy as following a checklist.

Fertility Cleansing 101

The time leading up to pregnancy is crucial in creating a healthy foundation for your growing baby. That’s where the Fertility Cleanse Kit comes in!

Supporting your body in preparation for conception using 100% natural herbs.

The Fertility Cleanse encourages the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones, while supporting the uterus in cleansing old stagnant blood and increasing circulation.

This was the ONE THING that changed everything for them.

“I used this fertility cleanse and after only 2 months became pregnant! We had been trying to get pregnant for over 3 years, with 3 miscarriages. I was willing to try anything and am so thankful I came across this cleanse... I would 100% recommend this cleanse to anyone struggling to get pregnant! It’s definitely worth a try and so easy to do! Thank you!!” - Kelsey, Fertility Cleanse customer

“I used this for the month of January, starting on January 1st, and my period came a bit early that month once I finished. The side effects were mild, but I did get a lot of headaches during the cleanse (FYI). HOWEVER, I got pregnant the VERY FIRST MONTH after using this cleanse. I just got a positive pregnancy test today (Feb. 24th) , so I released a healthy egg and it was fertilized a mere 2 weeks after using this cleanse. This was amazing, since I’ve been trying for 17 months, including IUI’s and other fertility treatments.” - Tara S. , Fertility Cleanse customer

“I had been wanting to try this fertility cleanse for years. .. I honestly wish I had tried this sooner. I kept reading reviews about how women were getting pregnant the first cycle after their cleanse, but I didn’t believe it could happen for me after years of trying “all the things” but this one (with only miscarriages to show for it). I’m a believer now that this really is worth all the hype. I was one of the ones that got pregnant my first cycle after ending the cleanse, simply by adding this to my protocol...! I had my baby at 39yo. Perfectly healthy baby!...- A.B., Fertility Cleanse customer

Have you considered this?

I had hypothyroid for the past 12 years. I no longer have it.

About 3 years ago I stopped taking Synthroid. I felt it wasn’t really doing anything for my numbers. At the time my doctor was confused, but I said, I am going to focus on this for the next year and let’s see where my numbers are after.

Went to my follow up the following year and my numbers went down and were in a healthy range.

Here is what I changed.

Deep nutrition.

I went plant based.

I started adding dark leafy greens to my smoothies (yes, including kale)

I started eating sea moss and sea weeds multiple times per week.

I drink green juice multiple times per week.

I Increased my essential fatty acids from foods - mostly ground flax added to my smoothies. I also do chia pudding here and there.

I also reduced my stress by changing my lifestyle from one that focuses around work to one that focuses around my hobbies.

I’m not saying you should stop your medication.

I am sharing this to plant a seed that there is another way.

It takes more work than taking a pill.

But the side-effects are hormone health, energy, healthy skin, and so much more.

PS - thyroid health is super important for fertility and regular ovulation.

🌿 Vitex is a very popular fertility herb and for good reason. But a common misconception is that Vitex is for everyone and should be used as a “cure all” when ttc.

Vitex actually has very specific actions in the body and is appropriate for the following instances:

Here’s who should consider using Vitex:

🌿 Women with Hormonal Imbalances: Vitex is known to help balance hormones by regulating the pituitary gland, which can be beneficial for those experiencing hormonal imbalances that affect fertility.

🌿 Women who are not ovulating: Vitex is one of my go-to herbs to promote regular ovulation.

🌿 Those with Luteal Phase Defect: If you have a shortened luteal phase, Vitex may help lengthen it, increasing your chances of conception by improving progesterone levels.

🌿 Women with High Prolactin Levels: Vitex can help reduce prolactin levels, which is crucial for women who struggle with fertility due to elevated prolactin.

🌿 Individuals with Irregular Menstrual Cycles: By promoting regular ovulation and menstrual cycles, Vitex can be a valuable ally for those with irregular periods

🌿 Women experiencing low progesterone: Vitex has the ability to increase low progesterone levels.

Who should consider avoiding Vitex:

❌ If you deal with depression, just a heads up—some people have shared that Vitex might make their symptoms worse.

Type “VITEX” in the comments if you would like a link to learn more about my Vitex Boost formula which contains organic Vitex and supportive nutrients necessary for regular ovulation.
