Ah I see, not heard that one before

Cd 15 here, gonna try a gof tonight... Trying to eat (mostly) healthy stuff at the moment to see if that helps.

Am drinking grapefruit juice, not as bad as i expected. Wonder if a small glass a day is enough?

Dalrymps · 23/04/2009 09:50

I've heard of people drinking that, whats the reason behind it?

kittycatcat · 23/04/2009 10:08

i THINK it thickens the EWCM! Aha;

Another way to improve your CM quantity is to drink enough fluids each day. Water is the best type of fluid to drink and you should drink approximately 10-6 oz. glasses of water per day. Besides drinking water each day, you should also drink grapefruit juice. The components of the grapefruit juice will aid in helping to produce extra CM which will in turn help you in your conception endeavors.

hiya ladies. been absent for a while as I feel like a a freak. Currently on day 40 of my cycle with no af in sight. It has got to be because of bf my son. Haven't taken a test in a week so guess I'll check again tomorrow and expect to find another BFN. the cute thing is that dh is getting much more into having another one and is the one that suggests testing in hopes of a positive. .

hope everyone is doing well... and doing it often

kittycatcat · 23/04/2009 11:21

Heya bringonthetrumpets whispers ooooo i hope its more than that ;-) ......
Starting to get the hang of all the jargon now. And have worked out i have 31 day cycles.... not sure if that is good or bad.

Biccy · 23/04/2009 22:22

Wow, BringontheTrumpets, I do soooo admire your resistance to testing, more freakish than your 40 day cycle imo! I will defnitely be checking in for a report tomorrow!

Thanks for tips re water and grapefruit juice - am off to bed now with a pint of water and a good book (I'll blame you lot if I'm up all night weeing!). Don't worry, only CD3 so good book definitely a better bet than DP tonight! Ha ha.

Dalrymps · 23/04/2009 22:51

kitty - Ah I see! Thanks for clearing that up, I kept wondering why all the ttcers were going on about drinking grapefruit juice , maybe i'll try it. I already drink a lot of water, I always have on cup of tea with breakfast then drink sparkling water all day. I'm actually addicted to sparkling water ever since I was preggers with ds!

Bringonthetrumpets - Wow CD40 hey! Hope it means something good, don't know how you've heald off from testing! Oh and you are not a freak!

Biccy - Hope the book is good and you don't have to get up in the night to pee, I hate it when that happens!

Well, i'm off to bed soon

PolkaDotRachel · 24/04/2009 09:07

Can anyone confirm when you start counting your cycle from? The first day of your last period until the first day of the next one?

Dalrymps · 24/04/2009 09:12

I think it's the first day of your last period till the day before your next one

kittycatcat · 24/04/2009 09:13

I think CD1 - Cycle day 1 is the first day of your period.... Ladies is that right? I have only just got my head round CD myself. Have you been on fertility friend polkadot? it's fab. Here's the link www.fertilityfriend.com

kittycatcat · 24/04/2009 09:15

I git AF Wed, and Fertility friend recorded me as CD1....CD31 was Tuesday - the last day before AF...

kittycatcat · 24/04/2009 09:18

Oops i GOT.....not git....

bringonthetrumpets · 24/04/2009 10:15

just as i suspected... BFN. ugh, this is so frustrating! hopefully this is your month ladies b/c it definitely isn't mine!

Dalrymps · 24/04/2009 10:20

Oh bringonthetrumpets! Sorry it's a bfn . In that case, hope AF turns up soon so you can carry on ttc. Fingers crossed for next month!

kittycatcat · 24/04/2009 10:33

Ditto Darlrymps sorry bringonthetrumpets [hugs]

bringonthetrumpets · 24/04/2009 11:23

thanks dairymps. i'm thinking of just not counting anymore, it's only added to the anxiety.

here's a fun little fact. rocky and bullwinkle are from my home state of minnesota lol just heard that while ds was watching the cartoon.

Dalrymps · 24/04/2009 12:25

Ooh, thats an exciting claim to fame

Biccy · 27/04/2009 10:10
