Graprfruit juice....WHY?

[vicki15]

Hiya
Could someone please explain to me why grapefruit juice is good to drink? Does it help conception? I've noticed a few of you guys talking about it?
Any advice or info would be great.
Thanks girls and good luck ttc! xx

Grapefruit juice can help the production of EWCM, which is what you need around ovulation to help his little swimmers get to their destination better!

If you're going to drink it only drink the pure juice and not from concentrate (Tesco normally have good offers) and drink from the first day of your cycle until ovulation then stop as it can hinder the sticking power of the egg after conception. Normally a glass a day is all you need, although some women swear by drinking it an hour before you bd too.

If you hate grapefruit juice, blood orange juice will do the trick as will evening primrose oil.

Good luck hun
