I have been TTC since November. I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing seems to increase my EWCM. I tried Mucinex, but it didn't seem to affect me much. Same with the Evening Primrose Oil...I have been on that since January and nothing has changed. I drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. I have tried grapefruit juice and green tea, too. I am taking one baby aspirin a day (just started this last month). Taking prenatals. Temping. Using an OPK which has positive results so I know I'm O'ing.

Hey did you know that you can actually USE egg white to simulate EWCM if you don't have any - read a study where they say it's a miracle - you have to use a glass 1-5 cc syring and just inject a little in before you Chat Icon and it's supposed to make the little guys just swim up in there! I've never done it but. . ..

Obviously, timing is a key factor in TTC, but I honestly think the ONLY other thing that will help you with TTC is to RELAX and completely eliminate all of these things from your diet. The more you think about it, the more stress you put on yourself. I am on month 7 of TTC and hoping for a BFP next week!!! If not, I'm going to eliminate everything (except prenatals) and just try it the old fashioned way.



What things do you think you need to completely eliminate from your diet?



I think all of these things do help you TTC, but...if you are thinking too much about taking this vitamin and that pill and this juice and that tea, it gets a little crazy. That's all I meant. I am just going to take the prenatal and forget about all the other stuff. It's causing me too much stress to plan on what to take each day.

I understand totally, but for me sometimes doing less causes more stress because I have no idea what's going on.
