Drink a dose of cough syrup.

Some evidence suggests that taking an expectorant for a few days before you ovulate could make it easier to get pregnant. Expectorants that contain the active ingredient guaifenesin relieve congestion by loosening up mucus in your chest—and in the rest of your body, including your cervical mucus. Wet, slippery cervical fluid makes it easier for sperm to pass through and fertilize your egg. Just make sure the cough medicine you take doesn’t contain antihistamines and decongestants, which will dry up the mucus and make it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg.

Trade a glass of skim milk for a serving of ice cream.

Calcium is important to a healthy pregnancy, and some research has shown that occasionally opting for full-fat dairy products aids in fertility. In a study of more than 17,000 healthy nurses, those who stuck with low-fat and nonfat dairy products had higher risk of anovulatory infertility—in which the ovaries don’t release eggs for three months or more—than those who chose high-fat dairy foods. But be careful: A little goes a long way. You need only one serving of full-fat dairy each day to reap the benefits, or choose a half-cup serving of ice cream a couple times a week. Overdoing it can lead to excessive weight gain, which is known to cause infertility.

Avoid lubricants.

Although extra lubrication can make sexual intercourse more enjoyable, it can negatively affect fertility. Most over-the-counter lubricants and even saliva can impair sperm’s motility, which decreases its ability to fertilize an egg. So it’s better to do without it while you’re trying to get pregnant.
