So I’ve heard loads and read loads about this with the guaifenesin in, it helps thin mucus and help the little swimmers out getting where they need to be 😂 anyone else used or heard of this! Could be a fad but I’ll try anything 😂

I heard this a lot and it’s a common comment in the USA. Never seen any data but I can see the logic. If it helps you feel better and more positive go for it!

I tried it this month - not pregnant but CM was deffo a lot more!! Will try again with it this month

CSSL7 · 15/09/2024 18:05

Oh also, I don’t think I took enough of it. I did like one swig everyday. I’m gonna do the actual recommended dose this month

I've been reading up loads on this over the weekend! My mum is in the states currently so I've asked her to pick me up some Mucinex, let's see how it goes 🤞🏼 keep us updated! Where are you in your cycle?

Kels21 · 15/09/2024 18:16

What’s the recommended dose for it? What it says on the bottle? Xx

This works the same I believe. I’m cycle day 14 due ovulation roughy in 5 days! Hopefully I’ve not left it to long x

There is it recommended dose because It's a cold treatment and no scientific study has proved anything in terms of helping fertility.
Good Luck :)

Kels21 · 16/09/2024 08:02

Yeah I just meant is the recommended dose what’s on the bottle or is it a different recommendation of dose for trying to conceive x

The active ingredient that has the necessary effect is guaifenesin, you can buy it online in capsule form for more precise dosing. I take 2x 400mg capsules a day from CD9 until confirmed ovulation, one morning and one night. Also helps with my chronic rhinitis which is a bonus!

Kels21 · 16/09/2024 19:03

Oh amazing thank you, was worried it could do more harm than good in some respects I hope that’s not the case? X

Hey, can I ask when you started getting your cm…how many days before ovulation? As I’m 3 days before ovulation currently and I don’t have any at all and I’ve been taking this 3 times a day. It wouldn’t do the opposite and dry it up would it 😫🫣

i just checked and cycle day 13 I had loads, like an insane egg white amount. I wish I could remember the cycle day I started taking it but if I was to guess I’d of probably started cycle day 10 cuz I entered my fertile window.

(I meant recommended dose as in what it says on the bottle too btw)

CSSL7 · 19/09/2024 17:33

Sorry to add - this would have been three days before peak on an ovulation stick

Hi, I’m just reading up on guaifenesin and found this thread. Did any of you ladies get your BFP?

I did the month I used this. But I sadly had a mmc. Been trying since and nothing yet. I’m currently in my fertile stage but I’ve missed ovulation I think. I’ve either not ovulated or I’ve ovulated earlier and possibly missed it. I’ve only dtd twice a couple days ago so I’m not hopefully for this month. Good luck x

I used this two months and did Get pregnant the second but I don’t believe it helped at all tbh. I took expensive vitamins for 6 weeks and got acupuncture the week before and after ovulation and I think those two things are what did it but I did so much ill never know lol they were just the two new things I added

gingerbiscuit24 · 16/01/2025 13:04

How much did you guys take, is it the recommended dose on the pack? Did you take from CD1 or just for the fertile window? Sorry for all the questions!

CSSL7 · 16/01/2025 20:47

I did just fertile window to increase the egg white discharge and then I took the recommend dose on the bottle.

Ok guys so I took a test tonight and I can definitely see a line. It’s vvvvf on the picture but it’s more visible in real life. Could be coincidence but taking this cough mixture is only thing different I done. Praying with everything it definitely worked 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I’ve just ordered guaifenesin in capsule form (thought there’s probably other stuff like sugar in the cough mixtures that isn’t great to have unnecessarily) so good to see it’s worked for some!

I brought another bottle of the cough syrup a few days ago to use next cycle if I’m not pregnant this cycle 😂
