Come in if you took Mucinex while TTC

I am thinking of taking some this cycle (O approaching next week) because I don't seem to have what is described as EWCM. What was your experience with taking this? Did it help?

Thanks and hope you are all feeling well during your 1st trimester!

I took it and think it helped... I also had a friend who took it to get pregnant with both of her kids- she got pregnant in one month with each.  GL!

Great! Thanks for the info!

Yes it helped!  I tried for 11 months to get pregnant. The first month I took it (and that was really the only thing) I got pregnant.

I took it and I think it helped!

I happened to be on Mucinex in Oct and Dec while TTC.  We didnt conceive either of those months, we conceived in Jan (m/c in Feb) and again March 1.

It took 5 months for my hubby and I to conceive and the month we got our BFP I used Mucinex for 5 days before ovulating. It worked for us but we might have gotten pregnant without it too.... Who knows. Hope this helps.

I was actually taking it when DD was conceived... and DD was a surprise!!

Meh, I took it as part of my regular allergy regime for years.  I even tried going to only plain Mucinex during my fertile period to see if the other allergy meds were reducing my CM.  It still took us 10 months to conceive the first time and then we got lucky and conceived on the second cycle the next time.  I think using PreSeed (and really, charting) was much more likely to have helped than Mucinex.  We used it religiously during my fertile window when trying for this pregnancy and had much faster and better luck this time around.  A little does go a long way though.

It is an expectorant which means it loosens up the mucus in your body. It is meant for when you have a cold with a stuffy (not runny) nose so you can get the snot out!

I took it twice a day (once around 5 and again around 8, BD around 10) for the three days leading up to O because I don't have a lot of CM. We'll see if it made any difference...

ETA: I did feel like there was a difference in my CM while Oing this cycle!

It seemed to increase the EWCM for me, but I did not conceive during the months I took it.  I conceived during a month that I did not take it.

We had been TTC for 10 months with no success and no EWCM in sight. Finally I started taking b6 and b12 for an LPD and I did start to notice scant amounts of EWCM after being on the supplements for several cycles. The next cycle I started taking Mucinex and had a TON of EWCM for several weeks (it was a delayed ovulation cycle due to a ruptured cyst). I finally quit taking it once the cyst ruptured because I thought we were done with the cycle due to bleeding. Low and behold the day after the bleeding stopped I had a ton of EWCM still, we had sex and I got KU.

All of this is to say Im not sure if the b6/12 helped me more just in regulating my body out, but the Mucinex DEFINITELY had a positive affect on my CM. And Id tried EPO and green tea before that and neither helped at all. GL!
