Bumping for you.

They help to produce more EWCM which will help the little swimmers reach the egg (and survive longer inside you)

EWCM - just looked at acronym and puzzled

Egg white cervical mucus = the gunk you produce when you are ovulating which looks like egg white.

The vagina is naturally quite an acidic environment and so not terribly hospitable to sperm. EWCM helps them survive and get to where they need to be. Some women don't have much and so drink grapefruit juice/certain types of cough medicine to help them produce more. But the simplest thing to do is just to drink plenty of water.

I expect you could eat it.
Not much point if you already have lots of EWCM though. Would check that first if I were you!

if you are going to drink gf juice make sure its not from concentrate ...i.e freshly squeezed type. apparently that makes a difference.

My husband is a doctor and say this advice is an old wives' tale - complete rubbish with absolutely no clinical evidence of efficacy. Did an NHS or private professional actually recommend this to you?

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/01/2009 11:19

no

just from what i have been reading on here
