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

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

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

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

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

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...

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.

Owlpatrol · 14/01/2018 12:40

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

Babybeany · 14/01/2018 14:17

@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

Babybeany · 14/01/2018 14:33

@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 · 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?

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 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! :)

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!!!

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

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 21:27

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

Cupcakesandlove · 15/01/2018 21:10

Can you eat a grapefruit rather than the juice?

Babybeany · 15/01/2018 21:24

@Cupcakesandlove I did both x

Cupcakesandlove · 15/01/2018 21:31

THank you x

surreygirl1987 · 15/01/2018 21:39

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