IC Dipstrip - 7DPO - Way too early !*UPDATE 12dpo - AF Late*

lol I just noticed we have the same money pots!

Um, I don't get tonnes of ewcm - 1 instance or 2 on a good month. I tried grapefruit juice once but it had no effect. Just drinking lots of water i.e. keeping your fluids up is supposed to help. Or some ladies try robitussin, or preseed. Don't forget that you might have ewcm up at your cervix (where it's needed) which isn't dripping right out - what you see ain't necessarily what you got!

Good point.
Well I am gunna give it a blast anyway.
This cycle I am taking AC, EPO, Mother-To-Be Vitamins and I am going to drink green tea and grapefruit juice and then after ovulation drink pineapple juice.

Good luck hun! Just remember not to drink green tea at the same time of day as you take your folic acid, because it prevents it from being asorbed. I tried green tea too, but again no great change.


Definitely worth trying all these things - they work for some and not for others. Have you taken EPO before? I know of some ladies who got their ov a bit messed around on it.

 

[BeesBella]

I've only been taking EPO for 2 months and I take the super strength ones from Boots. But I use OPK's and I have ovulated either CD15 or CD16 in previous cycles.

That sounds good! With the people I know who didn't get on with it, it messed up their cycles straight away - so sounds like it's working ok with you!

Hey honey

Sorry to hear about your af, what a pain.

We were trying for a year and by the 13th cycle I'd had enough. No OPKs, no charting, no worrying. However - I did take tonnes of vit C tablets for a nasty cold, and am somewhat wondering if it was this that made it happen - now there are two in there!

I have my fingers crossed for you, I know you'll get there!

And starting on CD1 its great to have a plan to feel like you're doing something constructive!
