Mucinex for increasing cervical fluid

[Anonymous]

Anyone try this? When to start and how much?

Never heard of this, but I have heard of using Robitussin for the same purpose - I did it and it worked the first cycle I tried after TTC for 6+ months. I just used it after I got the positive on the OPK.

I don't know the answer to your question, but Mucinex did cause an increase in my cm. It was a week ago and I thought it was a sign of ovulation, but still have no rise in temps after a week.
I'm not sure it was the Mucinex or not, but there was a definite difference.

the active ingredient in mucinex is guaiafenisin (sorry about my spelling). It is the same ingredient in robutusin. (If you go the robutusin route, be sure to buy a variety w/ plenty of guaiafenisin).

The stuff has gotten pretty expensive, but they have it at cosco for a more reasonable price.

You can take a fair amount - I was perscribed 2400 mg per day for other reasons.

The drug is a mucus thinner. That's what it does. That is why it is an expectorant (thin the phlegm and you can cough it out). That is why it works down there.

did you get pregnant from the mucinex

This is OP. I did take the mucinex and got pregnant and, but I really don't think it had any impact. I didn't notice any increased cervical fluid (which is the point of the mucinex). I think it was just good timing.
