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

@anxiouswaiting I started drinking the juice and eating the fruit as soon as AF stopped. I don’t normally get any CM so I am trying anything... I have learned that just because you have a period, it doesn’t always mean you ovulate. Big baby dust to all of us! XStar

@surreygirl1987 It might all turn out to be good news! I have been busy googling (has anyone else?) and it seems thrush can be one of the earliest signs of a BFP! Cramping since 2dpo and now I’m 8dpo. I’ll let you all know if there is a grapefruit BPF! Smile

@surreygirl1987 yeah same I've had watery cm but no ewcm!!

anxiouswaiting · 14/01/2018 12:22

Which cycle days are people drinking grapefruit juice?
I tried it this month and had no ewcm at all, stayed watery the whole fertile period. I usually get 1-2 days of it.

surreygirl1987 · 14/01/2018 12:16

@babybeany oh no!! How annoying!! I'm not convinced by this grapefruit / omega 3 thing as this month is the first month I've NOT noticed any ewcm at all! I've had a fair amount of non ew stuff but not the good stuff! Had a blazing positive opk (the strongest ic I've ever had) and dtd that night and the next anyway and used fertility gel so just hoping that did the trick! Stupid grapefuit...
How are the rest of you doing? Think I've just entered my tww...

Babybeany · 10/01/2018 22:58

After the 2 weeks of grapefruit everyday for breakfast, I have thrush! ☹️ As annoying as this is, could this be anything?

DT2016 · 08/01/2018 09:10

CD9 and ewcm today! Woohoo! Grapefruit is definitely working it's magic Grin

webster144 · 07/01/2018 10:18

owlpatrol I'll join you on the grapefruit if I don't get my BFP this month, AF due in 2 days and all tests showing BFN so far :(

Havent tried the cough medicine but have read good things x

Good luck xx

Owlpatrol · 07/01/2018 09:54

Yeah I did cough medicine last month it has to be the right one. I didn't notice much of a difference. Going to try grapefruit juice this month....watch this space

DT2016 · 07/01/2018 07:58

Haha good work @surreygirl1987 I've noticed a difference too. I'm cd8 today and definite increase in cm. Hoping to see gallons of ewcm in a few days 😂

I haven't tried the cough medicine thing, but I think you need the one for dry coughs as that losen things up. The chesty cough ones dry you up 😱

Ooh I do hope we get lots of grapefruit bfps! x

sazzle3 · 07/01/2018 01:00

Does it really work xx

surreygirl1987 · 06/01/2018 22:52

@babybeany yeh it's something about the active ingredients... you have to check it's the right one!

Babybeany · 06/01/2018 19:43

I’ve read mixed reviews about cough medicine. Some say it drys the cm up. X

surreygirl1987 · 06/01/2018 19:13

Haha grapefruiters, I am on cd8 and loooads of cm! Okay it's watery not ewcm but I looked at ff from previous months and I've never logged this that early before! Maybe the grapefruit juice has been working it's magic 😂 so I went to Tescos to find a whole grapefruit to eat and they had red and pink ones so I just bought two of each... I don't even like grapefruit!! 😅 oh god you've turned me into a nutcase!
In seriousness though I've also just started trying cough medicine (tiny bit) and omega 3 (already did epo)... anyone vouch for them? It can't hurt, right?

Babybeany · 06/01/2018 13:48

Love this news!! Grapefruit me up! 🍊🍊🍊

xLeanne128 · 06/01/2018 12:38

I am on CD 26!! Had no CM this cycle started drinking grapefruit juice 2 days ago I've just got my first positive OPK coincidence or not I'm amazed haha x

Grapefruit juice, it really does work !
SJS12 · 06/01/2018 00:19

Never heard this before, very interesting I'll give it a go! Congratulations too 👶🏼

Babybeany · 05/01/2018 19:28

Swimming in EWCM!! 😂😂 Love it! This convo has just made my week!! X

Owlpatrol · 05/01/2018 13:25

I'm going to try this. I'll try anything lol

xLeanne128 · 05/01/2018 13:20

I've only had 2 glasses (not concentrate I put a bit of Apple juice in with it) since yesterday either a coincidence or it defo works! X

surreygirl1987 · 05/01/2018 11:24

DT2016 haha living the enthusiasm!! Okay I just chugged a glass of juice... will buy a grapefruit later 😅 maybe will do the omega3 thing too; I already take EPO. overabundance EWCM here we come! 😂

DT2016 · 04/01/2018 21:57

@surreygirl1987 I got both, fruit and juice!! In for a penny and all that!

@NimbleKnitter I quite like it to be honest. Already have omega 3 with my vits and take evening primrose oil. Should be swimming in cm at this rate Grin

NimbleKnitter · 04/01/2018 21:50

Stick with omega 3. Much less nasty tasty (although burping fish is also pretty grim)

surreygirl1987 · 04/01/2018 20:45

Oh wow this thread is old! But interesting... I've been drinking grapefruit juice the past couple of cycles but not noticed any massive difference. Does anyone know if juice or the fruit itself is better? I tried cough medicine last month too but not convinced..

xLeanne128 · 04/01/2018 14:26

I've just been and bought some grapefruit juice! Doesn't taste that bad will keep you all updated haha x
