FertilAid is
Fertile CM
This product has many reviews on Amazon, so read through them and see what you think. I always start with the negative reviews before I buy any product.
Fish Oil see "Omega 3"
Ginger Root
Even though there isn't a lot out there about ginger root, it's something easy to try if you're looking to increase EWCM. Ginger root comes in a few forms: tea, powder, and pills. Of course, you can always buy fresh ginger and use that as well.
Ginkgo Biloba
I haven't heard much about ginkgo biloba helping with EWCM other than this post about Cervical Mucus: Essential for Natural Fertility. They say that ginkgo biloba promotes circulation and healthy mucus membrane secretion. Ginkgo biloba has been used in traditional Chinese medical for a long time and is said to help your mind, body and mood. People say it icreases libido, concentration, helps with energy, and decrease inflammation, among others.
Even though there isn't a lot out there about ginkgo biloba, it's something easy to try if you're looking to increase EWCM.
Grape Seed Extract
As with all supplements that are designed to help with EWCM, you probably want to take it only from menstruation to ovulation.
Green Tea
You can either drink green tea or take supplements. For women who don't like drinking water, green tea can be a great alternative and it will help with EWCM. As with other supplements you want to only take it from menstruation to ovulation.
Whether you buy loose leaf tea or take a supplement, check the ingredients. You just want it to have green tea in it. You also want it to be non-caffeinated.
Honey and Cinnamon
Both honey and cinnamon are said to have health benefits such as lowering blood sugar, fighting infection, and even preventing cancer. Not all honey and cinnamon are created equally, so do your research and make sure to buy quality over quantity. Here are some posts about honey and cinnamon.

Iodine
Some doctors believe that many people are iodine deficient. Having enough iodine in your body is key to thyroid function which is responsible for our hormones. It's very easy to perform an iodine patch test at home to see if you are iodine deficient.
Since iodine has such a strong effect on our hormones, making sure you have enough can help your body produce enough EWCM. Here's a good article on why iodine is so important for our fertility.
There are many ways to make sure you're getting enough iodine. Try adding some of these to your diet. Here's a good guide to what percentage of iodine you'd be getting if you added these items to your diet.
- Iodized salt
- Himalayan salt
- Sea salt
- Kelp
- Seaweed
- Salt water fish
- Eggs
- Navy beans
- Turkey breast
- Potatoes
- Cranberries
- Dairy (though some people believe that this can have a negative effect on EWCM)
- Liquid iodine
- Iodine in pill form
L-Arginine
It is believed that L-Arginine, an amino acid, can help with EWCM. It works by producing Nitric Acid (NO) which in turn increases the blood flow which helps increase EWCM. In fact, Nobel Prize reserach has proven this to be true.
There are a lot of L-Arginine supplements out there so be sure to read the ingredients. Getting it in its purest form is usually best.
Licorice Root
Natural Fertility Info and Thyme and Timber recommend it as one thing to try in order to get EWCM. Soulcysters has some personal stories about licorice root and infertility.
Maca Root
Maca root is a Peruvian herb that is hailed for its medicinal properties. Once a staple in the Incan diet, it is still commonly used in Peru today. Maca powder looks like flour, but it is categorised as an herb, rather than a grain. It's said to enhance libido, hormonal balance, energy, and mental clarity.
There have not been many scientific studies done about these claims. However, it might be similar to Mayan massage; something that has been passed down generation-to-generation because it works. Other people think that there's a placebo effect that leads to results. Either way, both maca and Mayan massage might be something you want to try.
Here are a few posts about how maca can help with EWCM.
Maca comes in a few forms. It's hard to find whole maca, but you can easily find maca pills or maca powder. There's also red maca (for women)and black maca (for men). Women commonly start with 500mg twice a day or a tablespoon of the powder. Some women take it the whole month while others don't take it between when implantation may happen until they get their period. Here's a very comprehensive guide to using maca for fertility.

Marshmallow Root
Marshmallow Root is said to help to help increase mucus and therefore can help with EWCM. Natural Fertility Info, Thyme and Timber, and Stork Mama also recommends it as one thing to try in order to get EWCM. You can find it in pill, powder, tincture, tea form.
Olive oil see "Omega 9"
Omega 3
Some women swear by taking fish oil (Omega 3, not cod liver oil) to help with EWCM. It can change tacky CM to EWCM. I've seen between 1,000-3,000 mg being recommended per day. You can always start with a lower dosage and work your way up.
Some women don't want to take fish oil because they don't like fish or are afraid of burping. Shop around and see which capsules are best for you. I always advise people to read the reviews and start with the negative ones to find out which ones would work for you.
You should not rely on supplements completely. Try to get enough
Omega 6

It's best to get vitamins through your diet. You should not rely on supplements completely. Try to get enough
Omega 9
Omega 9 is part of the 3 common Omega supplements (3-6-9). Omega 9 can be found in cooking oils, such as olive oil and canola oil. It can change tacky CM to EWCM. I've seen between 1,000-3,000 mg being recommended per day. You can always start with a lower dosage and work your way up.
The Omegas are fatty acids that helps regulate your hormones, increase the blood flow to your reproductive organs, increasing EWCM, and balance your cycle. They're found naturally in fish and oils. Here are some discussions about it.

Soy Isoflavones
Soy Isoflavones are said to help increase the amount of EWCM. Here are some forums posts about it.
Another advantage to taking soy isoflavones is that they are work similarly to clomid or femara and help with ovulation. Although they're said to be half the strength of clomid, they're a natural method and they don't require a prescription. Here's some information about the dosage. People say to start with 80mg or 120mg.

Vitamin C
There are different ways to take
Vitamin D
Some doctors believe that many of us are Vitamin D deficient, especially people who don't get enough sun every day. In fact, estimates are that 50% of adults are Vitamin D deficient. Here's an interesting article: 7 signs you may have a Vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D is said to help increase EWCM. Some women have called Vitamin D a miracle worker. Other women have said that by just taking a Vitamin D capsule they have been able to increase how much EWCM they have.
Getting some sun can help raise your Vitamin D level. While some people believe that eating Vitamin D fortified foods can help, the reality is that there is not enough Vitamin D in them to make that much of a difference. Vitamin D is actually a steroid hormone and our bodies are designed to get it from the sun, not from food. The good news is that taking a Vitamin D supplement can provide you with all the Vitamin D you need for the day.
