Just thought i'd post about this as its worked really well for me but you dont really read about it much nowerdays.

I have always been lacking in the Cm department and have never really noticed proper ewcm just watery stuff. I thought i would try grapefruit juice, its talked about a lot on the American boards but not so much over here. Anyway on CD1 i started having a glass a day, its absolutly foul so takes some getting used to but after a few days its not so repulsive, i topped mine up with lemonade tp take the edge off it.

I got my Peak on the CBFM yesterday and am absolutly soaking with proper egg whitey ewcm today, its amazing.

If your ewmc deficient i'd give it a try

I'll let you know in 14 days if it's worked for me.

Good luck

Hi not sure if any one I is still on this thread but can I ask do you drink a glass everyday regardless of your cycle day pls? Iv just ovulated but not holding out much hope as I'm dry lol so wondering if I should start drinking it now ahead of next cycle? Tia x

Ginge12 · 29/01/2018 10:37

So I deleted the MN app because I was becoming obsessed but needed to download again to share my excitement! Been on the grapefruit for 2 weeks and today I've had loads of EWCM more than I've ever had before!! DTD last night but gonna do it again tonight, eeeek I'm so excited by this haha!! 🤪

The golden grapefruit drink is eeeekkkkkkk tarte to say the least ! @Babybeany have you had good results so far ? Might switch to the pink one lol

Babybeany · 20/01/2018 18:27

@glitterbomb13 I had a whole pink grapefruit for breakfast plus pink juice... I don’t like golden ones so didn’t try them x

glitterbomb13 · 20/01/2018 18:01

Hey everyone , so I'm 5 days late for af with still bfn so I'm turning my thoughts to starting again this month when she finally arrives...

Just started drinking grapefruit juice today - I just got the normal one 100 % juice def not made from concentrate - do you just have one glass per day ? Also is the pink grapefruit ok or is it just normal grapefruit ?

Babybeany · 20/01/2018 17:44

Definitely thing AF is on her way. ☹️ Maybe next month. X

Babybeany · 20/01/2018 17:07

@surreygirl1987 what doesn’t kill you makes you fatter eh?! I figured it’s just good for me. But I’m not doing another month straight on the bounce of this one. Are any of you lovely grapefruiters using the ‘flo’ app? It keeps changing my AF due date so I’m not sure when to test now! Confused

surreygirl1987 · 20/01/2018 13:29

@owl we were cycle buddies last month too! We really must have similar cycles! Arghhh reallt hope this is our month!!!

Anyone got lots of cm at 8dpo? I googled it and it seems to be a sign of pg BUT I can't remember if I had it anyway in previous months.... and also it could be the grapefruit effect right?? @babybeany love that you're still on the grapefruit!

Babybeany · 20/01/2018 11:52

@surreygirl1987 I am 12-13dpo now... I had a bfn at 8dpo too. I’m going to try my best and wait until 15dpo when my af is due. So anxious! I’m going to eat my last grapefruit tomorrow. 🤮

Owlpatrol · 20/01/2018 11:51

@surreygirl1987 aww hun we are almost cycle buddies ff dating me around 8dpo as well. May test tomorrow morning totally forgot this morning as was up during the night. May do an ic this afternoon 🙊

xLeanne128 · 20/01/2018 10:38

I've dome about 20 tests since we DTD, all were negative apart from this morning and I'm 14dpo so can take a while to show. I was 100% sure I wasn't pregnant. Had some wine last night and now I feel absolutely awful and full of guilt! I used frers too but they didn't show x

surreygirl1987 · 20/01/2018 10:16

Yes @leanne128! Congrats! Woop a grapefruit bfp!! Let's get a few more now!

(Tested today and bfn but only at 8dpo so wouldn't be anything else and I am basically an idiot for throwing the test in the bin annoyed! 😂)

xLeanne128 · 20/01/2018 10:09

I mixed it with Apple juice and just had a glass a day x

Babybeany · 20/01/2018 09:00

Good luck to you too @Owlpatrol! I’m not sure I can do another month of grapefruit! 😂

xLeanne128 · 20/01/2018 08:33

I didn't wee at all last night and I normally drink lots of fluid and get up 3 times would say I was quite dehydrated to be honest. I can't believe it xx

Babybeany · 20/01/2018 08:07

@xLeanne128! I would say so yes!! Try again tomorrow and hopefully your line will be darker! 😍

Do you need to wee in the night? I have to get up in the night at least twice. Do you think this would affect my fmu?

Congratulations @xLeanne128 such great news xx

Owlpatrol · 20/01/2018 08:07

@xLeanne128 yes! Looks good to me. Congratulations xx

xLeanne128 · 20/01/2018 07:57

@babybeany @owlpatrol I couldn't wait is this it....

Grapefruit juice, it really does work !

@babybeany @owlpatrol I've had lots of cramps and pains today going to test on Sunday morning I'll be 14dpo by then if I not ill accept it's not my month. Goodluck to you both thankyou so much for the support xx

Owlpatrol · 19/01/2018 21:41

@xLeanne128 sending lots of virtual hugs....Flowers

Stopped drinking it now but noticed more days of creamy cm than usual. I'm about 5 or 8dpo today as not 100% when I ovulated as body and cm said cd10 but then got a poss opk at cd14! Anyhow waiting game now. Let's hope for lots of bfp's and get this grapefruit thing confirmed!!

Babybeany · 19/01/2018 11:03

@Leanne128 I have started to get small spotting after dtd... I am staying strong and not testing until AF. However I have googled it and it could be an early symptom! Hope you are feeling a bit happier today. Lots of grapefruit and baby dust to you x

Babybeany · 18/01/2018 21:07

@xLeanne128 October was only 2 months ago 😊 I came off the pill (cerezette) in March and fell pregnant fairly quickly in June only to miscarry in August. Give you body time to build a home for a baby. Take all the vitamins they tell you to. You will be fine! It’s not a race. Enjoy the fun of making your little bundle of joy xx

xLeanne128 · 18/01/2018 20:23

@babybeany since I've been with my partner now husband so about 7 and a half years. Was on cilest stopped in October, I know cycles can take a while to settle but strange as I had withdrawal straight away and 3 normal regular periods. Nipples are itchy tonight though and had alot of ovary pain but could be AF. It's so nice just to be on MN and talk to people who don't know you and judge you. Been to five guys with hubby and now having a cider need to chill out and go with the flow (also easier said than done haha) thankyou that message helped me xx

Babybeany · 18/01/2018 18:41

Oh @xLeanne128! That is sad news! Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Easier said than done I know. How long were you on contraceptives for? What were you on? Be kind to yourself and pour a bubble bath and a glass of wine. You can stop drinking when you definitely know. X
