How to increase eggwhite CM

[Kias4]

My husband and I have been TTC for a few months now.  I am wondering if part of our issue is that I have very little CM, and only about one day of almost-eggwhite CM, if that.  I am looking for ways to increase it.  I have read to take evening primrose oil, take Robitussin, drink grapefruit juice, and use preseed.  Is anyone aware of any other methods? I'd really like this month to work out. :(

Thanks!

I only know about the methods you have already mentioned.  Have you tried any of them?  With the evening primrose oil, it is very important to know the day of ovulation, because taking it after that can inhibit pregnancy because it causes uterine contractions.
I did try the epo for a cycle, but I had bad mood swings with it.  The cycle I tried the preseed we successfully conceived.  Good luck!

Grapefruit juice was the one for me.I also never had much cm.but then started drinking that stuff yuk taste though,but it certainly did the trick,with evening primrose I took it till cycle 12 then stopped. preseed is also popular.oh and plenty of water.

what? how much grapefruit juice you need? can it be the one that is already bottled (and you can get it in 711) or does it has to be fresh??

I've actually heard (from doctors too) that you can use real egg whites to help. It may be a little messy and tricky, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I drank about 4-6 ounces of grapefruit juice twice a day, starting towards the end of my period and continuing through the end of ovulation.  It was 100% grapefruit juice NOT from concentrate, only found in the fresh juice section, NOT the cocktail- not sure if it made a difference, but it's what I did.  I also drank green tea occasionally and cut way down on caffeine.  I increased water consumption around the time of ovulation and a few days before it.  I tried these methods for one cycle, and it did increase EWCM a little bit.   Now, 2 weeks later, I just found out I'm pregnant, so it worked!  Good Luck!  I know it can be stressful.
