robitussin cough syrup - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Hi everyone

Just read that robitussin cough syrup can help you conceive because it helps thin the mucus (normally in your lungs when you have a cough) but it can also help with cervical mucus making it thinner and easier for the sperm to travel through. Does anyone else know anything about this whether it works or not? Apparantly you take it a few days b4 ov.

Thanks 4 the advice

Yup, from what I've read you've got it right. It thins cm, doesn't make more. Can't remember the dosage or when to start.

I'd start when my cm turned fertile, otherwise, how do you know when 4 days before o is?

It's Guaifenesin only. There's other brands and even generics. You want the expectorant only.

Also-gross enough- you can use eggwhites. they are supposed to be separated from the yolk and allowed to warm to room temp, then you squirt them up yourself right before you BD. I hear most people use a turkey baster. I dont think I could ever do that but other people have!
