I saw someone on here post about pomegranate juice causing them to have more abundant EWCM. I tried it this cycle and I definitely saw a good amount of EWCM leading up to, the day of, and the day after my ovulation. I’m now 5DPO and I just saw more EWCM when I went to the bathroom, and I’m pretty confused. 2DPO I had no CM and 3 and 4DPO I had creamy CM, so I don’t think it’s leftover from ovulation. I also haven’t BD since ovulation, so I know it’s not sperm.

This is really not normal for me, so I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the pomegranate juice. Would appreciate any insights on this!

As an aside, my google and chatGPT research did not yield any information about pomegranate juice causing more fertile CM, but it did talk about how it has many fertility benefits (ie increased blood supply to uterus, helps improve endometrial lining and also it’s a strong antioxidant). Pretty interesting stuff!

I wanted to share an observation I had this morning because it filled me with a lot of hope and made me feel better during the awful TWW.

My home office has a window that looks at our neighbours house, which has had an abandoned bird’s nest ever since I moved into my home (2 years ago). I always stare out at the window and think how lovely it would be if there were birds in the nest, since I have such a special viewpoint to see them up close without scaring or disturbing them. I have NEVER seen a bird in this nest (and this nest is my direct viewpoint for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week).

Today, a mourning dove flew into the nest for a little visit and I couldn’t believe my eyes. It seemed like such a beautiful metaphor for how things can shift after long periods of quiet, and how even though you might not see visible signs of progress or expect something to happen anymore, you shouldn’t ever count anything out.
