cough medicine (robitissun) - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Hi ladies
i just wondered if any of you have tried robitissun or a similar cough medicine to help with TTC? i know its suppose to help both increase and thin CM. I only ever notice one lot of EWCM each month and thinking about it, its always quite thick and lumpy (sorry tmi) so wondering if that could be making things hard for me too.
Im from the uk so we dont have robitissun as i know its a us brand but ive bought the equivalent which contains the active ingredient (cant remember the name but know it begins with a G!) I decided to get it as have a very bad chesty cough at the moment so thought i might aswell get something which helps with TTC!
just wondered if anyone has tried this and conceived with it or noticed any improvements with CM?

I've tried it. It does increase the amount of CM, but not nearly as much as Vitex. I have 4 full day of tons of EWCM with Vitex and only had moderately more for a couple of with the Robitussin.

Good luck!

I tried Guifenesin and didn't notice a lot of EWCM. I also bought pill form of guifenesin and didn't notice either. Then I tried vitex, and like Goldenmom, I noticed more CM. Not as much as I'd like, but more than my usual.

Hope you get over your cold soon.

Hey fallen ! I gotta tell you that i used it for the first time when i saw the opk test turn positive and took it then and the day after. It obviously worked for me !!! My dr. recomended it so, she knows what she is talking about

Spreading lots of dust for you ! I look on this site everyday hoping that you or Goldenmom and others finally get that BFP !!!

Hi ladies,
thank you for all of your replies!
im also taking vitex this month, no CM to report yet but am only on CD10. I really needed this cough stuff for my cough so thought i may aswell get one that would be beneficial to TTC too! so will see what happens!
whatishappening, thats great that you got your BFP when you took this stuff! maybe it will be worth the horrible taste afterall!thank you for the dust!!
