Author: Mark A. AbrahamsMore or less 80,000 women were diagnosed in 2005 with cancer (pelvic gynecological malignancy) and a lot of these cases were uterine cancer.

Some possible cervical problems: http://www.curedisease.info/2009/07/lung-cancer/">Lung Cancer Secrets Revealed Click here Even though you may want a baby, your cervical mucus may be unreceptive to sperm. Your cervical mucus changes when you ovulate. It becomes thinner to help the sperm can swim more easily. If the cervical mucus is hostile it essentially means that either it doesn't thin enough so the spermies can't swim easily, or not enough is produced.
