I am ttc a boy (trying to increase my fertility overall). I always get ewcm but in an attempt to try to get more I decided to use grapefruit juice this cycle. I usually get at least five days of ewcm total, but it doesn't always seem to be a lot at one time (I do have to take allergy meds this time of year, so that may be why - but my hay fever is so bad this time of year I really can't avoid taking it - I did switch to Claritin though because I read that it is generally less drying than Zyrtec).
Anyway, on to my grapefruit juice question: does it matter what kind of grapefruit juice it is? I thought I read that the regular yellow / white, not from concentrate kind is best, but unfortunately after checking all the grocery stores in town, none of them seem to have that - all of the yellow kinds are made from concentrate. I did find a Ruby Red not from concentrate, so I bought that, is that good enough? Or would I be better off buying the yellow from concentrate kind?
I am also drinking club soda and spring water with lemon juice to help as well, and have more or less eliminated soda (maybe have one once every week or two). I mostly drink club soda and water anyway so adding a little bit of lemon juice to it was an easy thing to add.
I am currently on CD 11 (looking like O on CD 15 based on advanced digital OPKs and cervical position), and I do seem to be getting more ewcm today than yesterday, so something seems to be working, for what it's worth (or it could just be because I am moving closer to O).
