I have never had this much EWCM - even before I was on clomid...
My friend Erika just got a BFP In December and I followed what she did. It increased my EWCM by a TON and I got a BFP!
If any of you want to try it here is Erika's plan:
I drank decaf green tea only because 1. caffeine keeps me up and 2. caffeine isn't good for a baby so I figure it's not good
for the egg. People have told me that regular green tea has more of the properties that create EWCM but decaf has it too.
Make 2 pitchers of decaf green tea. Keep them in your fridge so you will always have tea available. When one runs out make
a new pitcher. If it is already made you will drink more. Green tea is really good as ice tea. I sweeten it with splenda (White
sugar isn't good for TTC but I would suggest honey to sweeten because of it's really good for you and has properties to create
a healthy egg.) I hear a lot of women complaining that green tea is gross - if you add enough sweetener it's no longer gross.
I also seep my tea extra long so that it's really strong. Usually I'll let it seep for several hours!
Start on CD 1 and drink at least two 8oz glasses everyday. Once you hit about CD 8 (depending on the day you O) BD every other
day. I suggest every other day for everyone even if your significant others sperm count is fine because it keeps a little
more excitement and isn't over kill - the day off allows time for the little guys to build up.
**On the days you BD take the maximum dose of Robitussin (it has a green label and the only ingredient is Guaifenesin) four
teaspoons every four hours follow each dose of Robitussen with a full 8 oz glass of green tea.
And that's what we did - and we are now both pregnant. I had gobs of EWCM. I was really strict with myself to follow this...
**Some women actually dry up using green tea - in that case try EPO - 500-1000 mg three times a day with tons of water.**
I also suggest trying something new every few months until you find the thing that works for you
