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

I've just restarted eating half a grapefruit for breakfast because it's supposed to be very good for you, and puts me off having the second piece of toast.

Does this work, or is there some reason why it is supposed to be juice? Or is it a quantity thing?

Thanks all - just noticed your messages! thats a great help

summerlovin · 20/08/2008 00:14

I had never heard of this one so going to give it a go now!! Thanks!!

summerlovin · 20/08/2008 00:15

Not sure about the cough medicine though - is that safe to have that much cough medicine??

Waiting2Exhale · 20/08/2008 01:38

Hi summerlovin,

Its my first month trying both robitussen (the cough medicine) and grapefruit juice together this month. Didn't get any Eggwhite CM but did get loads of watery CM... won't know until the end of this week/weekend whether it worked or not but will defo report back as soon as I know. Good luck.

Just seen on here it can't be from concentrate - bugger, have bought two cartons. It's juice, but made from concentrate. Is that no good at all?

janjan30 · 01/11/2010 15:18

Congratulations WM. I started this month with the cough mixture, didn't work this time, as today turned out!!! Will try the grapefruit juice though. Not something I would usually drink but hey I'm willing to try anything. i've just finished the last of 6months of Clomid. So very emotional, that it hasn't worked. But thank you for the tips, am going to try. X

Morning! I have just started to eat a grapefruit a day. I noticed a change in cm within a few hours! Still waiting on the EWCM next week. Good luck ladies!

DT2016 · 04/01/2018 11:15

I've started on the grapefruit juice and half a grapefruit today. Only CD5 today so a while to go before I hope to see some benefit! Fingers crossed for us both Smile

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

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..

NimbleKnitter · 04/01/2018 21:50

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

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

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! 😂

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

Owlpatrol · 05/01/2018 13:25

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

Babybeany · 05/01/2018 19:28

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

SJS12 · 06/01/2018 00:19

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

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 !
Babybeany · 06/01/2018 13:48

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

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 19:43

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

surreygirl1987 · 06/01/2018 22:52

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

sazzle3 · 07/01/2018 01:00

Does it really work xx

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
