Ok, so we all know, this TTC journey (and even the pregnancy journey) is ALL ABOUT WAITING...but I cant help but whine....Are we there yet????? Waiting, waiting, waiting! I've been waiting for my surgery, then waiting to get rid of the hyperplasia, all the while, I was waiting to TTC, and now that I am TTC, I'm waiting to O, and when I O, I will be in my 2 week wait!!! Ugh!
So, I still have no clue if I O'd. I dont think so, b/c my CM has not been fertile, but my CP and my temperatures are throwing me off. So, to be safe, me and the DH have been BDing like crazy...well, kinda.
My last two pregnancy cycles, I started eating carrots because I read that they may help increase your CM. I'm not sure if its working this cycle, but then again, a wonderful commenter did remind me that CM can change overnight, from sticky to EW, which is absolutely true in my case too. If the carrots dont work out this cycle (which I shouldn't even type b/c I'm operating on faith), does anyone have any suggestions to increase CM? I've heard of taking Mucinex or Robitussin, but when in the cycle would I take those? Are there any other natural alternatives?
I'm still working on keeping the faith. I believe I receive.
The two things I always did was a crap load of water and grapefruit juice. Man, I wish you were a neighbor. I have 3 unopened glass jars of it from Whole Foods.

I've taken Mucinex and/or robitussin. What I remember reading said to start taking it the week before you O. I think the goal was to take it at least five days prior. It was always tough for me because I am an irregular O'er.
ReplyDeleteI used to feel weird about posting about all my cycle signs and symptoms but it was nice being able to refer back to them. Then I found out other people liked to compare notes with mine. So document away!
Hey there! You might be able to increase your cm by taking cough syrup, but that won't mean you are ovulating. You'll know when you hit ovulation... remember, you just came of BC so things may be wonky for a short time. If you do want to use the syrup I think you take it about three days before you think you're going to ovulate. A teaspoon a day. We used PreSeed last cycle and got our BFP...
