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

@babybeany starting to think I'm not pregnant now feel really down about it to be honest tested today and got a BFN :( wish the doctor spoke about TTC before giving contraception out. Me and my husband are very ready now especially me. My dad also has terminal cancer so really would mean the world to me to share the news with him. Fx for you xxx

(Sorry Tim alert)

Was going to add that although my cm has been watery I realised it has been keeping the ahem sperms up there following dtd! Not sure if that's relevant! Time will tell

@xLeanne128 I hadn’t heard anything about clear blue.. that’s interesting. I’m still going to sit tight and wait for AF. BFN’s are too depressing, especially when even after it I convince myself that there is still hope! Your current cycle sounds long! How long is it normally? Mine is around 28-30 days in total. I’m not sure if a late ovulation would push AF back or not. I guess so? Have you googled it?! (Probably!) I am googling everything possible at the moment. I’ve become obsessed! Only 5 more sleeps until test day! X

xLeanne128 · 16/01/2018 19:01

@babybeany people are saying not to trust clear blue and try first response early detection with fmu. I have no idea to be honest :)! Which is really helpful had normal cycles apart from this current one but I ovulated on day 26 so would that push my period back? We DTD last Saturday and that's when I had a positive OPK which faded/disappeared Sunday night/mon morn. Don't want to test too early but just want to know one way or another so i can stop feeling physco! Xx

Babybeany · 16/01/2018 18:20

@xLeanne128 it wasn’t first one no... it was a clear blue. I’m just going to sit tight now and wait until AF is due on Monday. How long have you got to wait? X

xLeanne128 · 16/01/2018 15:57

@babybeany what test did you use and was it with fmu? Still have a chance though :) not over until AT arrives. Fx for you xx

Babybeany · 16/01/2018 13:02

@Leanne128 I really feel different this month too... I failed though and just tested a BFN ☹️ That’ll teach me for trying a week early!

xLeanne128 · 16/01/2018 12:26

Feel really ill today. Migraine, Feel sick, to the side of my boob/near armpit have a dull ache and a bit of pain nearer to boob (never get pains) also had what felt like shocks in my stomach. Trying to wait aslong as I can to test!!

Owlpatrol · 16/01/2018 07:25

Lol I've stopped drinking it now and I think I ovulated yesterday but not seen temp shift yet I'll let you know about cm!

surreygirl1987 · 15/01/2018 21:39

Got ridiculous amounts of semi-ewcm post ovulation lol... is this the grapefruit effect?!

Cupcakesandlove · 15/01/2018 21:31

THank you x

Babybeany · 15/01/2018 21:24

@Cupcakesandlove I did both x

Cupcakesandlove · 15/01/2018 21:10

Can you eat a grapefruit rather than the juice?

Babybeany · 15/01/2018 21:02

@Leanne128 I am not promising to wait until Friday... let me know if you test too. Grapefruit love to you and your uterus! X

xLeanne128 · 15/01/2018 15:54

I had to shout at myself this morning to stop myself from wasting a frer! It's all i think about all day haha 🙈 your amazing if you can wait until Fri suppose result would be more accurate by then. Keep me updated xx

Babybeany · 15/01/2018 13:03

@xLeanne128 I have managed to stay away from the tests for the time being. Think I’ll try and hold off until Friday. Stay strong my lovely grapefruit! Grin

xLeanne128 · 15/01/2018 12:35

@babybeany have you tested yet?? I'm trying to wait so nervous and worried I've got my hopes up too much and I'm guna get a BFN. But don't want to test too early and get a BFN if I'm pregnant. Going insane, 9dpo. Xx

Babybeany · 14/01/2018 21:27

Haha! @surreygirl1987 I am in love with your enthusiasm! Grin

surreygirl1987 · 14/01/2018 20:28

Ha I did... although dp struggled 3 days in a row!! Afterwards I lay on the floor with my legs in the air. First time I've tried this. DEFINITELY going mad. My husband's face when he saw what I was doing... 😂

Babybeany · 14/01/2018 17:25

Go and have some lovely baby making fun @surreygirl1987!
xLeanne128 I am sending you all my baby love! X

xLeanne128 · 14/01/2018 16:56

@babybeany I'm also 8dpo and hoping for a grapefruit BFP! Let me know how you get on I'm going to wait until Tuesday to test, tried this morning unsure if i got a ridiculously faint line or if my eyes were playing tricks!!!

surreygirl1987 · 14/01/2018 16:32

Ha your boyfriend sounds sensible... but it's impossible to not be excited and hopeful! Well I thought I was on 1 or 2 dpo... But literally just noticed a MASSIVE amount or ewcm! So relieved - maybe I didn't already ovulate even though I got a really positve opk two days ago! Had a temp rise yester but not a massive one so here's hoping it rises again tomorrow? God this ttc lark is messing with me head!
Best of luck and keep us posted! :)

Babybeany · 14/01/2018 14:57

@surreygirl1987 I have tests indoors. I’m going to try and hold off testing for another few days. My boyfriend keeps telling me to try and not get over excited about it all... I can’t help it though! If only they knew! How many dpo’s are you? X

surreygirl1987 · 14/01/2018 14:34

Ooh @babybeany that's exciting! Wish I was 8dpo... the wait is excruciating! Are you going to test early or just wait and See?
@anxiouswaiting I'm on cycle 6 at the mo and so desperate to get a bfp... really don't want to roll on past half a year as I know I'll worry more cycle by cycle.... how about you guys?
