What's the story with grapefruit juice?

[Zivic-Bubac]

I saw it listed on Atomic thread about CM supps, so I googled a bit, and it seems it increases CM BUT can trigger O earlier OR delay it ( experiences from IG).
Is it good idea for boy sway? If so, only af->O or all the time?

If I get another bfn, I might try that too :beer:

when ttc with my DS I drank grapefruit juice and didn't actually know it swayed. I didn't notice any increase in CM (some women don't get affected by it) and it didn't affect when I O'd either...

I drank it every day for at least 2 months; I can't say it dramatically increased my CM but it definitely did not hurt it, and it didn't change my cycle either. I do remember a swayer from IG who did have her O delayed though.

But ZB, you're going to be getting that BFP in about 2 weeks so you won't need to worry about it :fingers::bigsmile::fingers:

I do know that grapefruit juice can keep some drugs from working too so I am a little wary of it, but it does seem to work for people.

Since this post is so long ago just wondered what your thoughts on grapefruit juice are now atomic? I’m hoping to increase my cm, drank my first glass of grapefruit today on cd8... also started robitussin

It's seemed to help a few people and so I keep it in the mix as long as you're not on any medication that it interferes with.

Thank you atomic it’s not done anything for me yet .. I’m on cd 12 of a regular 28 day cycle and no sign of ewcm what so ever ☹️ No positive opk yet so still time but I really can’t see how it will magic loads of ewcm over the next few days

oh it can happen just that quick!

FWIW I got my 4th boy with NO visible CM. I was testing pH 2-3 times a day and never saw a speck and my pH never went up at all. I didn't even know I had ovulated because I had no EWCM that I ever saw. And I still got a boy. So try not to read too much into this. Tons of us on here have CM opposites and while I do still entertain the idea that it makes some difference I do not believe it tells the tale of the success or failure of anyone's sway.
