Grapefruit juice - anyone tried it? Did it work for you?

Hello

I've read that Grapefruit juice, a small glass daily taken up to ovulation, can increase your natural cm.

I've tried it this month. I'm only on DPO9 which is normally too early for me have any noticeable CM so not sure if it works.

Has anyone else tried it? Did it work for you?

I took it last month and this month. Well, last month I ate a couple of grapefruits and this month I have been drinking a glass a day. I started taking it because after stopping the pill I got all signs of ovulation, except ewcm... and in the end I didn't ov anyway. So I started eating grapefruit and got my ewcm and ovulation. So I'm not even sure if it works, but I like grapefruit anyway. I have had some ewcm from Thursday and should ov in a couple of days, so at least I got plenty this time.

Check with your doctor before doing something like this! I know that grapefruit messes with some medicines (ie statins).

Actually, cm is much better than any lubricant. But obviously if you lack it at all, it's best to use lubricant. If you're just curious to see if you can get more cm, try the grapefruit.

Do you mean CD9? It won't be a lot of use after ov.

I've tried it (quite like grapefruit juice anyway) and didn't notice any difference in the CM.

Sorry yep cd09. I'll stop at ov and might move to the pineapple juice and brazil nuts (Ill do anything food related in case it'll work!)

I like it too. Only I started Slimming World again recently - in an attempt to improve my healthy eating - and fruit juice is synned. So I just wanted feedback to see if anyone had had any success!
(Though in the effort towards healthy eating, the juice is better for me than a small chocolate snack so I shouldn't worry! )

Not really wanting to try lubricant. That'll be a last resort for us. Not needed it before, I guess I was just playing with the variables we've got to see if I can up my chances!
