Guaifenesin for increasing EWCM?

[Muddysocks1]

Or mucinex as it seems to be sold as in the states. Has anyone tried this for increasing cervical mucus?

I’ve not tried it but literally been googling and researching this today 😅 i’ve seen some positive stories but i don’t think it works for everyone.

Hopefully you get some more responses on here ☺️

This is sooo interesting! A while back I read it had the opposite effect and to avoid it. So I'd be really interested to hear other people's perspectives!

At the moment, I find taking evening primrose oil tablets from CD1 up to ovulation helps. Ita noticeably different for me. Have you tried it?

I’ve been considering it but didn’t take it last cycle just in case it actually hindered things.
And taking a supplement with vitamin e in had helped my excm quality a lot. I might try the guaifenesin next cycle if this isn’t the one.

Oh really! Maybe I need to do more research.
Ive taken starflower oil (I think it’s got higher GLA than evening primrose but both do the same) and I think that helped in the past, but stopped for a while as got lax with supplements so just starting it again

Ah interesting! I’ve just started vitamin e too. A full handful of tablets at the moment 🙈

Just update, I’ve taken guaifenesin and starflower oil every day since period ended this cycle and I’ve definitely been seeing EWCM earlier and more consistently so far - CD10,11,12 which is unusual for me. Not sure if it’s the starflower or guaifenesin or something else though!

That’s really good to know, thank you for the update and everything crossed for you this month ☺️🤞

This is really helpful to know as I have just started Mucinex this cycle! I see you wrote these in January, how have you gotten on?? 🩷
