One treatment for thick cervical mucus is the use of guaifenesin, the active ingredient in Robutussin cough syrup or its generic equivalent. Taking one to two tablespoons of this during the days preceding ovulation has helped some couples achieve pregnancy. It loosens and thins the cervical mucus as it loosens and thins congestion in the respiratory tract. -Found in "Taking Charge of Your Fertility," by Tony Weschler.

Thin clear thing hanging from your tampon?
The clear thin thing hanging from your tampon may be cervical mucus.The opening to your cervix is blocked with a thick mucus - this mucus softens and flows into the vagina when you're fertile in order to help the sperm swim up to reach the egg when you ovulate. During menstruation you may be fertile, or sometimes mucus can be carried along with menstrual flow.
What is cervical mucus and what color can it be?
Cervical mucus changes are monitored for determining when ovulation occurs through the cervical mucus monitoring test. As your cycle progresses, your cervical mucus increases in volume and changes texture. The changes in the mucus that is secreted from the cervix reflect where you are in your cycle. The consistency of your cervical mucus changes during the cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. You are considered most fertile when the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy. Many women compare mucus at this stage to raw egg whites. Before collecting a sample, be sure to wash your hands first in order to prevent the transmission of germs. The most common ways of collecting a cervical mucus sample are: * Inserting your finger into your vagina and collecting some mucus. * Using toilet paper and wiping the entrance of your vagina and analyzing the mucus collected that way. * The most accurate way to collect your cervical mucus is to insert your finger into your vagina and circle your finger around your cervix or as close as you can to the cervix. This will allow you to actually collect the cervical mucus instead of just it's wetness. Monitoring the changes in cervical mucus is the only method that will not require looking back to the past few cycles for analysis, and also provide reliable results that you can trust when trying to conceive. You can do this yourself by getting a sample of your cervical secretions and stretch it between 2 of your fingers (the thumb and index finger) to test for the consistency. Examining the changes in your cervical mucus can help you pinpoint your time of ovulation and increase your chances of pregnancy.
