I'm on cd3 and am going to start Robittussin in a few days. Have already started Primrose Oil, Green Tea and extra salt and water.

I will post my finding later to let you know if this all results in more EWCM than last month (hardly any!).

Has anyone else been able to affect their EWCM by these methods?

I don't have any input to your post, just a question. I have heard of all your methods except salt- what's the theory with that one? I would have thought it would dry you up more.

Thanks,

I have been using Robitussin and drinking V8 Splash and I have noticed a BIG difference in my CM! I have had lots more days with EWCM than before.

The salt was a bit of an extrapolation on my part, and I could be wrong about it. I read about saliva and CM "ferning" during the fertile period, and that this was caused by a high salt content. When I started planning to drink a lot of water in the days leading up to ovulation, I knew that this would flush my system out and I would be going to the bathroom a lot. I suspected that this would mean I would be losing more salt than usual.

So I decided to increase my water AND salt intake, which should keep the whole body more hydrated.

Can anyone else shed any more light on the salt/water issue?

Thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad to hear it can work!

I'm in the UK and we don't have V8-Splash here. Is it carrot juice?
