i've seen posts where mucinex is used while TTC, either the man or woman...how do you know if you "need" to use it? do YOU just use it..is it to thin out CM or semen so sperm can "swim" thru easier??...sorry, i know it may sound like a dumb question..just asking! :) thanks ladies!

    It's to thicken your CM. But I'm not a fan of using meds for other than their intended purpose. Use at your own risk.

    I agree. I've never used Mucinex for CM, but after having a bad reaction to EPO, I decided self-medicating is not a good idea. Billions of women get pregnant without using Mucinex, EPO, or any of that other stuff.

    I took a generic version of Robutussin this cycle (testing wednesday) to help make the EWCM more runny.  I've heard it is recommended for men whose semen is too thick (I think you need a test for that) but I don't think it could hurt to have your guy take it too!

    I've heard that it works for many women. ?I tried last cycle and wound up with a bad cold. ?I don't know that the two were related, but the timing seemed odd to not be.?
