So I'm reading an article on tips to increase fertility. Number 3: Take anti-histamines to thin out the cervical fluid and make it easier for the sperm to swim through it. Number 9: Drink grapefruit juice to thicken the cervical fluid and make it easier for the sperm to stick!
Sheesh. Does nobody actually read these things before posting them?

Not knowing anything about this, it IS possible for both to be true, if there's some sort of Goldilocks zone for viscosity of cervical fluid with excessive thinness occurring in some females, and excessive thickness in others.

I think knowing ways to increase fertility - and cervical mucus in general - has many applications that are pertinent to the modern man.

People swim the same speed in liquids of varying viscocities. I imagine it's the same with sperm.

But didn't they prove that people swim slower in thicker liquids on mythbusters IIRC?
