Have you been using opks? And yes. L-arginine can dry you up.

I always read that larginine increased the amount of cervical mucus by increasing blood flow. May be it's something else?

My last sway I took womens one a day multi vit for months until the month of our sway and changed to pre natal vits - I dried up that month. I won't change to pre natal for my next sway I think the womens one a day suited me more.

Yes it increases blood flow to reproductive organs but it always had mixed results as atomic told me n i hv also read on baby centre so it didnt work for me i must say

I am not a fan of L-arginine. I think it dries up at least as many people as it helps, and also is the absolute WORST for delaying ovulation (even worse than the pink supps are!!) And we are getting outstanding results for blue without it.

It may very well be that the l-arg has delayed ovulation or it could be just that it made you dry. I honestly can't say for sure.

it doesn't work. Please be skeptical of claims that seem very vague "increases blood flow, balances hormones" what does that even MEAN?? Stuff made up to sell vitamins.

l-arg. I believe is among the most problematic things blue swayers take.

I conceived that month and had a little opposite but I will add that I had a few things wrong with my sway overall including diet and supps balance - of course I didn't realise this :)

:agree: I think the Women's One a Day is the shizz!

Re pregnacare conception, I am not as enthusiastic about that one as it has inositol (may sway pink) and the l-arg which may mess up cycle.

I would wait to see what happens with that CM when real O rolls around. If you have a lot, I'd prob. try.

:fx: for sooner rather than later!

ARe you taking anything else that might delay O??? WE may need to drop all of the potential O delayers for a while until O happens. (RJBP, tribulus, green tea and many other things can delay O)

I dropped L-arg too! Pretty sure it has delayed O for me.

I did! More watery CF than EWCM, so it definitely didn't dry me up but still...definitely not worth the delayed O (hoping that the l-Arg is the reason I'm having this long cycle in the first place)
