I've seen a lot of people mention drinking green tea on here. What's so good about it? I drink it all the time anyway, but I'm just wondering how it's helping and why only drink it until I O? Thanks!
It is supposed to help produce more CM so you can see if you are having fertile CM or not. Women who do not get a lot of CM usually drink it.

Green tea helps to increase the amount of CM that you have. Drink 1-2 cups from CD1-Ovulation. Don?t drink green tea during the 2ww because it could cause uterine contractions which might impact implantation.

I do not get very much fertile CM so it helps give me watery CM, at the very least. I almost never get EWCM, even with green tea. Which reminds me, I haven't had my cup today. Off to boil some water...
Ok great! I drink it quite often so that's great. We're not charting or temping though so I really have no idea when I O. Hopefully all conditions will come together for us to get PG
Oh and if your Sonic carries it, try their Green Tea! It's so yummy! I drink the diet green tea because it's 0 pts on weight watchers.
