Grapefruit juice, it really does work !

[WorzselMummage]

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

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!

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!!

@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!

@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

@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

@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

@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

(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

@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

Oh @xLeanne128! That is sad news! Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Easier said than done I know. How long were you on contraceptives for? What were you on? Be kind to yourself and pour a bubble bath and a glass of wine. You can stop drinking when you definitely know. X

@babybeany since I've been with my partner now husband so about 7 and a half years. Was on cilest stopped in October, I know cycles can take a while to settle but strange as I had withdrawal straight away and 3 normal regular periods. Nipples are itchy tonight though and had alot of ovary pain but could be AF. It's so nice just to be on MN and talk to people who don't know you and judge you. Been to five guys with hubby and now having a cider need to chill out and go with the flow (also easier said than done haha) thankyou that message helped me xx

@xLeanne128 October was only 2 months ago 😊 I came off the pill (cerezette) in March and fell pregnant fairly quickly in June only to miscarry in August. Give you body time to build a home for a baby. Take all the vitamins they tell you to. You will be fine! It’s not a race. Enjoy the fun of making your little bundle of joy xx

@Leanne128 I have started to get small spotting after dtd... I am staying strong and not testing until AF. However I have googled it and it could be an early symptom! Hope you are feeling a bit happier today. Lots of grapefruit and baby dust to you x

@xLeanne128 sending lots of virtual hugs....

Stopped drinking it now but noticed more days of creamy cm than usual. I'm about 5 or 8dpo today as not 100% when I ovulated as body and cm said cd10 but then got a poss opk at cd14! Anyhow waiting game now. Let's hope for lots of bfp's and get this grapefruit thing confirmed!!

@babybeany @owlpatrol I've had lots of cramps and pains today going to test on Sunday morning I'll be 14dpo by then if I not ill accept it's not my month. Goodluck to you both thankyou so much for the support xx

@babybeany @owlpatrol I couldn't wait is this it....

@xLeanne128 yes! Looks good to me. Congratulations xx

@xLeanne128! I would say so yes!! Try again tomorrow and hopefully your line will be darker! 😍

Do you need to wee in the night? I have to get up in the night at least twice. Do you think this would affect my fmu?

Congratulations @xLeanne128 such great news xx

I didn't wee at all last night and I normally drink lots of fluid and get up 3 times would say I was quite dehydrated to be honest. I can't believe it xx

Good luck to you too @Owlpatrol! I’m not sure I can do another month of grapefruit! 😂

I mixed it with Apple juice and just had a glass a day x

Yes @leanne128! Congrats! Woop a grapefruit bfp!! Let's get a few more now!

(Tested today and bfn but only at 8dpo so wouldn't be anything else and I am basically an idiot for throwing the test in the bin annoyed! 😂)

I've dome about 20 tests since we DTD, all were negative apart from this morning and I'm 14dpo so can take a while to show. I was 100% sure I wasn't pregnant. Had some wine last night and now I feel absolutely awful and full of guilt! I used frers too but they didn't show x

@surreygirl1987 aww hun we are almost cycle buddies ff dating me around 8dpo as well. May test tomorrow morning totally forgot this morning as was up during the night. May do an ic this afternoon 🙊

@surreygirl1987 I am 12-13dpo now... I had a bfn at 8dpo too. I’m going to try my best and wait until 15dpo when my af is due. So anxious! I’m going to eat my last grapefruit tomorrow. 🤮
