OMG, I think the grapefruit juice has made a huge difference--I have NEVER had this much EWCM (sorry if it is TMI). We will be tonight, for sure! I think I will have my when I test after work...I have a feeling!

I just gulped a glass down. I'm really curious to see the results...

BTW Make sure you stop drinking it after ovulation as it may do more harm than good- you're still stalking the thread, aren't you?

BTW Guys... here's a question: how often do you... well... you know... use the bidet I'm talking about douching, just exterior cleanliness. I do it every night, but just read somewhere that too much cleanliness means you may not be able to observe cm well enough? What are your thoughts?

How long after drinking it did your get loads

 

[MinneGirl]

The very NEXT day-I drank a big glass yesterday around 11 am. I noticed a lot more EWCM this morning--now loads for me, probably isn't loads to everyone--but it was in my underwear, which has never happened, and unmistakable all day today. Still no smiley though? Oh well, I read an article that often times your most fertile day isn't the day before Ovulation, but the day of your most fertile CM.

As far as using a bidet--we don't use those much here in the US, so I can't help with that question...just good ol' soap and water in the for me

So I finally have some time to myself & have made a ticker, now I dont have a clue when or if Ive ovulated - Im not temping - or how long my cycle might be this month, so Ive put it at the shortest cycle length Ive had - 25 days. It reackons Im 4 dpo hmmm?

 

[membas#1]

I may have to get me some grapefruit juice towards the end of the month i do like the stuff!

 

[dragonfly26]

Hello ladies, how are we all today? I'm doing well. I truely think I must have been coming down with something, I had a stuffy nose on and off all day yesterday, I was super tired and actually ended up going to be at 7:30 and a was a bit irritable: I feel a better today, still a little stuffy but not really, so far not as tired (I did get alot of sleep) I am however completely dreading work It has just been wearing me down lately. I hope all you ladies are doing great and have a great day.
On another note, I find the juice thing really interesting, and I have never heard of that before. Hopefully I don't have to, but will probably try it next cycle if need be. for all!!!

 

[MinneGirl]

Good morning! Sounds like everyone is doing well. Babydreamer, have you ever tried OPK's?

I FINALLY got my this morning DH leaves late tomorrow night for a business trip, so the timing should be great. That adds a whole other level of stress with this whole TTC thing...hoping he will be here for the five important days .

Looks like some of our group is getting close to testing dates! Dragonfly, I hope you don't need the grapefruit juice either, and get your this month!

Oh yeah, I didn't mean using a 'bidet' necessarily... I don't have a bidet here in the UK either. I was just asking whether you guys have a daily cleaning routine or something; like, I wash myself every night.

I bought a carton of grapefruit juice myself. I have to see I find it horrible but nothing overcomes my stubbornness, so I'll keep drinking the thing up to my ov day. BTW Remember to stop then, as it can cause contractions to the uterus, and you don't want that when your egg is trying to implant. I'd speculate from the respective post in the thread that these contractions are different from orgasmic contractions, then.

Yes, I tend to wash in the morning shower, and we typically in the evening, so I find it doesn't interfere. I have heard as well not to shower right before if you are TTC.

I agree, the grapefruit juice is a bit hard to drink, but I have to say on the second day it tasted much better! Yes, I am no longer drinking it (I had a half glass this am), and hope to O tonight or early tomorrow! We'll see if my temps are up tomorrow am or not!!

Those of you who are getting close to testing dates...please keep the rest of us informed. Sending loads of to each of you!!

I caved! I bought tests ready!

I do have cm back, for the first time after OV date since coming off the pill. Either a good sign or a sign I am OVing again!

You mean preg tests?

 

[MinneGirl]

I've read that you can sometimes get an increase in CM if you are pregnant! Here's hoping you get your in the next week!!!

So did you take any tests yet???? and???? I haven't gotten any but it's killing me I know if I have them I'll use them and it's to early so i'm sure to get so I have decided to hold off buying until this weekend and hopefully hold out til monday when af is due.

 

[dragonfly26]

are your oh okay with you testing w/out them there??

 

[membas#1]

I have some preg tests in my bathroom drawer--the cheapy ones from the dollar store--a few of my friends got their first BFPs with those, so i figure they're cheap and they work! I just picked them up when i was there last time, since I don't go often and threw them in the drawer. Won't need them for at least another month, but oh well...bought anyways

My OH does not want me testing without him. He wants to be there.

Hope you guys are having a great day!
