Oral sex is associated with reduced incidence of recurrent miscarriage[$]
In a matched case control study, 97 women with at least three unexplained consecutive miscarriages prior to the 20th week of gestation with the same partner were included. Cases were younger than 36 years at time of the third miscarriage. The control group included 137 matched women with an uneventful pregnancy. The association between oral sex and recurrent miscarriage was assessed with conditional logistic regression, odds ratios (ORs) were estimated. Missing data were imputed using Imputation by Chained Equations.
In the matched analysis, 41 out of 72 women with recurrent miscarriage had have oral sex, whereas 70 out of 96 matched controls answered positive to this question (56.9% vs. 72.9%, OR 0.50 95%CI 0.25-0.97, pā=ā0.04). After imputation of missing exposure data (51.7%), the association became weaker (OR 0.67, 95%CI 0.36-1.24, pā=ā0.21).

You should read more - it can be educational. There is a prefix used with a couple words in the article - immuno. We don't yet seem to understand the immune system really well. But, they've been tossing around evidence, and suggestions, that oral sex can help a woman to conceive, especially if she's a swallower, for years. If the same activity also helps her to carry that baby full term, that wouldn't be surprising at all.
All I hear you saying is, "Ewwww, I wouldn't try that!" Which is cool. None of us wants to get you pregnant either.
