    I've bought grapefruit juice this week too! I love it though!

    Really? Is it just the normal one or the pink one?

    though I realise that on the other side of the world, that doesn't really help you ;)
    There's an equivalent of a pound shop over here too:cool:
    Morrison's bakery's own are so fit. It's hard not to eat the whole pack! :o
    I used to get one of those Krispy Kreme ones from Krispy Kreme or Tecos. I don't any more, I'm on a diet:o

    Just tasted the juice, quite an acquired taste isn't it lol!
    I always loved it since I was little:cool:
    DH and I are on cycle 3 of trying (I'm at CD13 today), and we've decided that for at least the next 3 months (or until I get fed up) we're going to use a laid back, relaxed attitude to trying.
    Welcome:wave:
    Would you like to be listed on the first page?
    Would something like this be OK?

    Sa-ra-ra-ra (age? not compulsory:p) TTC#1 since 05/11
    I'm currently suffering extreme paranoia that someone from work will a) realise that I'm spending my time on this website and b) find out we're trying. So that's fun.
    People only seem to notice that it's a Money Saving forum, so they'll think you are being wise with money:money:

    Hi 2522Laura, Hi QQ :)

    Yes please about being on the front page - I'm 26. It's #1 for me, not for DH (who, I have been reliably informed by my MIL, is ridiculously fertile. The mind boggles...) It took both my Mum and G'ma a while to conceive, so we're getting on it earlier than they did. Plus, you know... I want!

    Grapefruit juice is rancid. I'm not sure I could cope; I'm bad enough at taking the horse-sized pills of folic acid and other vitamins that I was suckered into buying (not the folic acid. Folic acid = essential, OBVIOUSLY. I'm just a bit dubious about how much I need the other ones as I have a relatively balanced diet).

    I posted to introduce myself on the waiting to ttc thread, and then went quiet... and now I'm over here!

    I'm not incredibly struck by KKs - I like them, but I actually prefer Morrisons ones - I think it's the powdered sugar on them....mmmmmmmmmm
    Anyway, I'm not on a diet. I'm on a lifestyle change - and sometimes life requires donuts! yes.gifth_bubblesmiley.gificon_shifty.gif

    Do you think you have enough ewcm? In which case you won't need them. Good thing about grapefruit juice is that it makes you insides more sperm friendly:cool:
    Other than that, there are things like Green Tea or cough syrups (without decongestant) you can try:)

    Hmm. Actually, that's a good question. I had loads yesterday, but I've not really noticed any today - is that something I should be concerned about? I *think* I usually get it for a couple of days, but I don't really remember. And how much is 'enough'?

    Calling my fellow PCOSers - roughly how long are your cycles? Also what impact did Metformin have on your cycle length?

    I'm on CD48 now :(. Ah well it's quite an improvment on 8 months :D

    Spermies can't fly, they swim. So they need something to swim in:cool:
    Semen helps as well.

    My longest was about 54 days:o I was never prescribed Metformin.
