CD16
My CM is terrible. WTIF!
I've now taken two bottles of Fertile.CM, have started on my third. I eat (I think) super healthy. I drink plenty of water and green tea (decaf - no caffeine for me) (Internet has suggested that). What gives? Any further CM tips out there?
I didn't see any EWCM this month at all. Poot. Normally I don't have a ton of CM, but I at least see a little bit when I go looking.
I guess I will go back to Royal Jelly. Ugh. I really hate that stuff - I think it tastes like death. I didn't think it was doing much, but maybe...? And Dr Nora had me on a herbal tincture to improve lung phelgm, maybe that did help a bit?
I also haven't tried guaifenesin (cough syrup) yet, I guess I can try that next month. Can't hurt.
Maybe I will try Evening Primrose Oil? It is also supposed to help with breast soreness, which Goodness knows I have (and will have in about 3 days). And maybe grapefruit juice? Seems a bit crazy, but can't hurt. I can mix it with my Kombucha. :)
Ah...back to actively trying. So much to do!

In other news - I checked LH with test strips this month - haven't done that in a while. CD14 - nothing. CD15 - faint line. Today - super faint line. What gives? I used to have a VERY solid line.
Whine, whine, whine.... sorry ladies!

We're off to visit my Dad this weekend in my hometown. Should be fun. And we're visiting our most optimal couple friends - I am high school friends with her, and her husband and DH are good friends, so it is optimal for everyone. And their kids are cute, and call me Auntie CS. :)
I hope you have a nice trip!!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Fertile CM before. Do you know what all is in it?
I used to drink a lot of green tea (and it helped), but I heard it can block absorption of Folic Acid so I stopped drinking it.
I have used the cough syrup/tablets, and it seemed to help. Lots of water with that.
Currently, I'm taking Evening Primrose Oil. This is my 3rd cycle. I started at 500mg the first cycle, then bumped it up to 1,000 mg the 2nd cycle and this cycle. I think you can take even more, but I'm hesitant to take too much of anything. I have a lots of watery CM & EWCM this cycle!! It's a natural cycle, and I have more CM than on a medicated cycle!
We also use pre-seed for those dry times. Sometimes I have just a little CM and then it dries up while I'm ovulating...boo!
Oh, and it's weird you mentioned that about your OPKs because that happened to me this cycle. I took one and there was like no other line!! So I just gave up on them for this cycle LOL, especially because we're mostly on a "break".
Aww, don't feel like you're whining :-) I'm excited for you!! Good luck!
Thanks LisaBttc! That's it - I am going out and getting EPO for next cycle. Good - I like a plan.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that you're still healing! My CM was strange for a couple of months before it got back to normal.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip home!
I take B6 extended release, Mucinex 1200mg extended release, and FertileCM. In addition Keefe has me on Amoxicillin for a few cycles and that stuff kicked the CM into high gear!
ReplyDeleteTry not to stress about it (easier said than done, I know)...LOTS of women get pregnant with NO CM....I say, buy some Pre-Seed if you don't already have it and use that...AND GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK!!! <3
