I want to try L-arginine this cycle b/c I rarely have any EWCM but I can not find any information about the recommended dosage. Today is CD1 and I took 1000mg today with no side effects so far.

" I know this doesn't answer your question of how much, but I got this email and started taking everything on the list. It only cost about $25 for a three month supply. I only take one L-Arginine a day and I think it comes in a standard amount....don't remember. Anyway, here's the email....

When a woman ovulates there should be an increase in cervical
mucous (CM), as well as a change in the mucous texture, from "wet"
to a more pliable, stretchy, egg white like mucous. This is easily
helped by using ONE of these 5 suggestions.

1. Drink green tea daily - Many women have reported using green tea to increase CM with great success. Drink one cup a day from menstruation till ovulation.

2. Take Evening Primrose - Dose is 1500 - 3000 mg daily. Take
from your period until ovulation, than switch to flax seed oil. The
dosage for increasing cervical mucous is initially 500mg, three
times a day for a total of 1500mg per day. If you don't get results
in your first cycle, increase your dosage to 3,000 mg a day in your
next cycle. Evening Primrose Oil can cause uterine contractions in
pregnancy, which is why you should not take it past ovulation (in
case you get pregnant.) http://www.naturalfertilityshop.co...

3. Take L Arginine- This supplement helps to promote cervical
mucous by supporting the production of nitric oxid (NO). Nitric
oxide dilates blood vessels and helps to increase blood flow to the
uterus, ovaries, and genitals. http://www.naturalfertilityshop.co...

4. Use a sperm friendly lubricant - A water based sperm friendly lubricant that mimics cervical fluids and creates a sperm
friendly PH in necessary to allow the sperm to swim and reach the
egg. http://www.naturalfertilityshop.co...


5. Drink a lot of water through out the day - This may be all you
need, drink more water. Regardless if you use any of the
supplements to help, you must drink enough water for your body to
be able to make cervical mucous. "
