Grapefruit juice for increasing ewcm. Anyone tried it and did it work for you? I'm cd 1 today and thinking of giving it a go this cycle. Anyone else trying it this cycle? I'm assuming eating actual grapefruit works too and you eat/drink it up until ovualation?
 
I have not tried it. If you are going to eat instead of drink it, remember you only get about 4oz of juice per grapefruit so you will have to eat more grapefruits a day then you would just glasses of juice. And from what I understand, yes from CD1 to ovulation.
 
I drank both grapefruit juice and decaf green tea and did notice a change. One month I had EWCM and it had been a LONG time since I had seen that. This month an increase of watery and creamy but still much better than it had been. I highly recommend trying this before taking medicine as it's easier on your system.
 
Thanks for sharing your experience with it. I'm giving it a go, I usually get a little ewcm but hoping this will help give me a little more. I figure its only fruit juice so can't hurt to try?

Thanks again :-)
 
I think you'll get more with any fluids consumed that are not diuretic.
 
I drank grapefruit juice for anout 4 - 5 cycles and definately noticed an increase in EWCM. When i got my BFP i wasn't do anything i should have been but it was the plan to go back on it
 
Thanks ladies. I drink a lot of water anyway and it can't hurt to have a glass or two of juice a day as I quite like it anyway :-) will update if it works for me or not.

This! It took a couple of months of drinking grapefruit juice and green tea to see a difference but this month I was SWIMMING in fertile cm :)
 
I cant say for sure that it helped but last time i was ttc i decided to drink 2 things of grapfruit juice everyday leading up to ovulation and i did get pregnant that month
 
Wow I've never heard of this..hmmm def gonna try this one next time...I'm in my implantation days, I don't test till next Friday and I tried the egg whites method pretty messy and sticky we will see if it works..
 
Well - not only did it help my CM but I just got a BFP! I say try it! Mayan Fertility Massage and a castor oil pack seemed to help as well. The massage straightened my uterus in two weeks and the castor oil pack helps w/ blood flow - both helped with CM (the juice I have been doing for 3 months so I saw that increase first). I would recommend going to a specialist the first time but then you can do it on yourself. This was my first month doing the massage and pack.
 
Thanks for sharing and congrats on your bfp!! Happy and healthy 9 months :-)
 
This is the second month i've drank grapefruit juice (in Feb and this month). This month I started drinking it 3 days ago, and it definitely increased my eggy CM! I usually have a litre at a time lol. I was pretty dry last month (didn't have any grapefruit juice btw). Today had loads, and got a high on my monitor, so I know ovulation is imminent. Let's hope it brings that BFP!! :)

Me too!! We did it! :)
 
I had been ttc for eight months and the month i drank two cups a grapfruit juice ( the brand simply geapefruit) and took primrose oil up to ovulation is the month i finally got my BFP!!! I also got a pineapple and cut it into five pieces and ate a piece including its core (the core is the important part even though its tough to chew) and ate that for the first five days after ovulation... I read somewhere that it makes the uterine lineing "friendlier" to implant for the eggy... I dont know exactly what worked but i finally got my BFP...
 
Okay here is what I found:Grapefruit Juice: There seems to be lots of speculation on this tip. Some women swear it is one of the best tips for getting pregnant and others not so much. There also seems to be some missing data and studies that would either confirm or refute the viability of using grapefruit juice to increase chances of conceiving.

However, grapefruit juice may slow down metabolism of estrogen (estradiol) leading to increased levels in the blood. Estrogen is one of the things indirectly responsible for increased fertile EWCM (egg white cervical mucus) just before and during ovulation among other things such as the development of the endometrial lining which accepts and nourishes the embryo at implantation.

I do know one thing; it can not hurt you. If all it does is help increase your fluid intake for hydration, then good enough. It may also increase the quantity and quality of your mucus and increase the thickness and nourishing qualities of the uterine lining, and so on. Try it, it just might work for you. Plus, when you drink it, it can help with pH balance of your vagina. pH balance is necessary for the survival of sperm.

You should be sure to get the all-natural, not-from-concentrate form and drink about 4 to 5 glasses a day for about a week before you expect to ovulate.


I would also like to point out that the main ingredient in those hollywood diets are juices like this so it may cause you to go number two more often
 
Okay someone once told me that you should take cold medicine while TTC helps if you take it around ovulation. Has anyone heard this???
 
I don't know if cold medicine is a good idea. When I was pregnant with DS2 I got pneumonia and my doctor told me not to take any antihistamines because antihistamines can dissolve your mucus plug. So I don't know how much of a good idea it would be to take it while ttc
 
I really dislike grapefruit juice but Im willing to try!!!
