Still so much Ewcm

[Ipadmad]

I'm 7 days aware from o and as usual, the Ewcm has started today and lots as usual.

I've been doing le diet for 10 weeks, started with antihistamines, drinking diet coke, aspirin and rephresh.

How can I reduce my Ewcm? I'm starting to think Ill never be able to conceive a girl.

Any ideas or suggestions very much appreciated.

Thankyou

Sounds like you've done everything you can! It's possible that even though you have lots of ewcm that the composition is different now.

I'm not sure you can do more than you have, just make sure you do FR so there's very little from DH coming in so it reduces the sperm per BD session.

From reading online about increasing Ewcm, I'm going to do the opposite, ie cut down on water and increase my caffeine a bit.

Did I read somewhere I can take Benadryl and zirtek together?

Is it worth me getting DH to take sudafed too?

Thanks for posting lace. I fell both times first cycle with DS 1 and DS 2. I've always had loads of Ewcm. I guess the diet would help. I though I'd escaped it, buts come with abundance today. V annoying.

I'm not sure about the Zyrtec, I've never taken it myself, I hope one of the other gals can chime in on that one.

You could try going with more coffee and less water! I'm drier then I used to be years ago and I drink a lot more coffee (yay 3 boys!) then I did years ago too, lol.

Don't drink green tea, that boosts ewcm.

No worries, I'm not drinking green tea. It's difficult enough to swallow down peppermint tea!

Hmm, I'm wondering if the vitex has had an effect, as it is the first cycle I'm using it.

I'm going to make sure I take Zirtek at the right time of day (i.e. 2 hours before BD), cut down on water, drink 1 - 2 cups of tea a day, BD once a day until ovulation, get DH to take Sudafed and keep my fingers crossed we are doing enough!

[LacePrincess]

Hmm, good question about the Vitex! It's certainly possible. I haven't noticed that, I would tend to think it would reduce ewcm if anything as it's supposed to increase progesterone and reduce estrogen dominance (and estrogen is what makes ewcm). Though since Vitex has different results for everyone it's hard to tell.

I feel like I have the same problem.. very interested to see what diet and antihistamines do come 3 weeks from now.. I also think I'm doomed to have boys - I say that, but I actually want another.. DH wants the girl :S

I have the same problem here too. I never was a big water drinker, but do drink a ton of diet coke.... I've even been taking sudafed this cycle b/c I have a cold that won't go away, but there is still a lot of EWCM.....

No you can't take Bendadryl and Zirtek together if you are in the UK, you can take diphendramine and ceterize together but in the uk both contain ceterzine. The only equivalent we have is dipenhydramine thats found in sleeping tablets such as night aid that can be taken with either antihistamine.

I do agree with Lace though that just cause the ewcm is there does not mean it is fertile like it used to be - the only thing i found that really got rid of mine was clomid. I always had it for a good week before o and swaying did reduce the time it was there but it always came.

not that i am recommending clomid to reduce it - just sharing my experiences!!!
