TTC after 35

Talk to me about green tea, pineapple core, Mucinex

How do these work? When should they be taken? I haven't been on much lately because I was trying to not think about this whole pregnancy thing. But, AF came today, so it's time to get serious again!

    Hi... new here but wanted to answer.

    You should eat the pineapple, and its core, for the 5 days after ovulation.  This I have done.  I usually make a smoothie as the core is rough to get down.

    Mucinex you should take to help thin out your CM... just make sure to drink plenty of water .  This I have not tried.  

    GL!

  • Pineapple core is the nastiest thing ever!  I tried for sever months and it did nothing.  Mucinex thins your cervical mucus to allow for easier fertilization.  I have read that you should take it daily from when AF ends until 2-3 days after you O.  I am not convinced that either did much for me.

  • Thanks! I thought AF was here yesterday, but I had just a little brown spot. I feel like AF is on the way so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I am going to try these.
  • I have tried the Mucinex...thought I read to start it like 5 days before O...it mostly gives me a runny nose Sad
  • I haven't tried the pineapple core, but may.

    I have drank green tea occasionally and had to take mucinex a lot lately as I had a cold - ironically while I was supposed to be O'ing. 

    I'm in the 2WW so not sure if it helped or what.  We'll see!!!

    GL!!

  • I tried all sorts of things while TTC but the month we conceived I drank a wheatgrass shot every night up until ovulation. It was the only month that I did not have spotting before AF and then of course no AF! I HIGHLY recommend it. Its supposed to help with egg quality.
