Grapefruit, Good or Bad?

[miss michelle]

Hello Ladies,

So I've heard good and not so good things about grapefruit. I decided to eat a grapefruit a day from Af to Ov to help with my non existent EWCM. Some women swear by it and said it gave them tons of EWCM. But I was doing some research and learned that grapefruit and grapefruit juice also messed up some women's cycles and delayed Ov. I'm at CD13 (28 days last cycle) with still no signs of fertility and wondering if I should stop the grapefruit.

Your thoughts are appreciated! Thanks

Not sure...I have been drinking a 2 glasses of grapefruit juice a day because I'm on Clomid which can dry up your CM...not time for OV yet...so can't comment on that. i'll let you know though....i'm pretty confident that everything will work out alright though

I just bought some... so I hope it's good! I'll have to google it...

Hmm... I've been drinking a glass of grapefruit juice per day up to what I thought was ovulation day. This is the first month I'm back to OPKs, so wouldn't know yet.

I'll monitor and let you know. Thanks for the info anyway, I'll keep an eye on that.

I have just started eating grapefruit every day, as I had heard it helps with ovulation... Hmmm confused! I'm going to keep it up this cycle and see how it goes..

I tried both grapefruit juice & Robitussin for the last 2 cycles, it produced ewcm but no BFP

I usually get ewcm anyway, but since I was taking Clomid, I thought I'd try everything

Thanks Everyone! Well, I think I might have missed Ov. I don't know for sure, but if I did, I'm pretty sad. The only thing different I'm taking is the grapefruit. I also heard how it stopped one lady from O'ing for 3 months. Not to scare anyone because I've heard really good things about it too. I'm just a really sensitive person and any changes can affect my body. I'm ending the grapefruit.

well if you're sensitive it's probably a good idea. i wouldn't have started to take it, or robitussin, but i'm on clomid and did not want that "drying out effect" that it causes...as that pretty much makes baby-making impossible....and so far...no drying out. i'll keep you posted about the OV part and EWCM....it'll be a few days before OV though
