Hi Everyone,

I'm new on this forum but have been a member on ingender for long. I've been on and off many times from this ttc wagon. Thanks for starting the Jan thread and wish everyone a very happy new year.

I'm all set to ttc this month and need lots of good wishes from everyone and my sincere wishes are with everyone. Yesterday was my first day of AF and I am going to do following things from AF to OV. Could you plz let me know if anyone has any suggestion for what i should do or not do.

1) Drinks-ACV 2 times/day, COT drink 2 times/day, Fresh extracted Grapefruit juice 8Oz/day
2) Royal Jelly/Pollen bee - 1 spoon morning and 1 spoon night
3) Lots of fruits, juices and veggies along with all the ttc Boy supplements.

This is the first month that i'm eating Royal Jelly n pollen bee and i'm hoping that ovulation is going to be either delayed or early a little bit. How about grape fruit juice? Is it good or should i stop that?

Hi Everyone,

How about grape fruit juice? Is it good or should i stop that?

Welcome! I would stop the grapefruit juice as it has calcium in it. Could you do OJ or pineapple juice? I also drink a lot of V8 tomato juice. GL to you!

[Son4meplz]

Thanks YaHmama for your reply. I'm drinking V8 juices too but the grapefruit juice is fresh extracted one. I remember boy swayed drinking it 2 years back or so...however, not sure if that changed with some recent findings. I googled and did see that it raises estrogen level. Does anyone know raising estrogen is good or bad for TTY boy?

Just saw your thread Hobbers, sorry I did not see it earlier!! I will go close the other down if you ladies like let me know

Happy New Year ladies! I hope all are doing well.

I am sitting on pins and needles here... We have been using the Marquette method of NFP/FAM where you monitor cervical fluid and use the CBFM to watch hormone patterns. They have a breastfeeding protocol to use before cycles resume. Essentially, if you have no mucus and get a "low" on the monitor, you are safe. If you get a High or have mucus, you're to abstain. If you're getting a peak your cycles are probably about to start and you go to normal NFP protocol after your first period.

Well I have been having all lows with highs here and there, but no period, no peaks. DH and I DTD on Tuesday b/c I had a low and no mucus. Then yesterday morning I got a peak on the monitor, out of nowhere!! I have a little mucus now, but no EWCM. I'm kinda worried now... The Marquette doctors actively monitor charts and help out on the forums, so the doctor said it's pretty much just wait and see, and really annoying I got NO high before a peak... I'm also temping and no shift yet so I didn't O yet... The DR said if I O today or tomorrow there's around an 85% chance we won't get pg... Obviously he does not know me LOL.

If anything we would be leaning girl sway right now with me losing off all my baby weight from Honor (I was getting to where I'm looking good, too!)... Though I am actively strength training. I told DH if I am pg I want to go Team Green and he said no LOL!

Right now I'm a little in shock (didn't realize you could even go low to peak with no warning! I don't have any OPK's to test w/ those). I just need to tell somewhere, and here is safe... And just wait and see.

Honor is still super high-maint, so I hope for her sake this was just hormones trying to start up but not making it.

I was the one who wanted to DTD on Tues, so DH said that in the future we should just abstain if I'm in the mood

Sorry this is long gals, just needed somewhere to talk... Typing on mobile so sorry for typos!

NO! That's so silly. The other thread already has a lot more going on--please leave it up.

Oh Skrimpy-- I hope the outcome is whatever YOU want it to be... I know you have been planning and preparing for your sway for a LONG time. It is hard when your cycles are wacky and you can't really tell what is going on! I bet you don't O tomorrow--I bet you are safe. Keep us posted!!

[LolaInLove]

Hey guys, I have been on the other thread, but wanted to pop over and see what's been shaking here.

Skrimpy, nail biter! I am really hoping that your hormones are just being wackadoodle right now. But ya know what, it is what it is, and if this is another oops baby, he/she will be awesome and was meant to be. I did the NFP method for years, kept me un-pregnant for a good 2 years between my girls. I had a couple of scares also, when I would suddenly have ewcm out of the blue. Keep us updated!!!! FX just a scare for you!

Son4me- Welcome! I honestly don't think there is anything wrong with drinking grapefruit juice. We don't believe in avoiding calcium for swaying blue on this site (well, I speak for most of us), and I know gf juice is super nutritious- see here: WHFoods: Grapefruit. I personally think vitamin c is excellent when ttc and awesome when you are pg for keeping that old sac of waters nice and strong among other things.

Good to just go by this rule of thumb: everything healthy and whole (ie not artificial) is going to be good for you and sway blue. As many wholesome fruits and veggies as you can (including fresh gf juice) is excellent!
