Q: Did you know that cough syrup could help you fall pregnant?hello TTC friends, I found this on the babycentre website-thought those of you who did’nt know might find this information useful:Toni Weschler, fertility educator -While there’s not a lot of medical research to support this idea, anecdotal evidence suggests that it can help. But there are a few caveats, too. One ingredient in certain cough syrups — guaifenesin — can help you get pregnant by thinning your cervical fluid, which enables sperm to travel through your cervix and fertilize an egg. If you know from taking your temperature every morning that you’re ovulating, but you don’t seem to be producing much wet, slippery, cervical fluid, guaifenesin might be all the help you need to get pregnant. This is the paradox, though: You need to know when you’re approaching ovulation to take advantage of this recommendation, and the only way to know that is by checking your cervical fluid. So guaifenesin works best on women who do produce at least some cervical fluid.How does it work? Guaifenesin, a common ingredient in cough syrups, is an “expectorant.” That is, it relieves congestion by helping liquefy mucus in your lungs, allowing you to cough it up. And because it works systemically on all mucous membranes in your body, it can make your cervical fluid wetter, too.The trick is to find a cough syrup in which guaifenesin is the only active ingredient, so check labels carefully. Many cough and cold medicines contain antihistamines that also work systemically in your body but have the reverse effect: They dry up mucus and diminish wet cervical fluid. And while you’re trying to get pregnant, there’s no reason to expose yourself to any other drugs unnecessarily, so find a product that contains only guaifenesin and no other active ingredients, including dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant) and alcohol. Humibid LA — the pill form of guaifenesin, available by prescription — is a safe choice. Ask your healthcare provider to prescribe it for you.If you’re taking the liquid form of guaifenesin, take 2 teaspoons three times a day around the time of month you’re expecting to ovulate. If you’re taking the pill form (Humibid LA), take it as prescribed for a cold. Either way, I would encourage you to take it from the first day you notice any type of wetness through the day of your temperature shift. That may be about a week. (Editor’s note: If you’re not yet charting your basal body temperature, click here for more information on how to do it.)Guaifenesin may even work for women who’ve had abnormal cervical cells frozen off or who’ve had a cone biopsy — the removal of a cone-shaped wedge of the cervix to treat lesions that may be precancerous. This procedure destroys some of the cervical crypts that produce fluid. If this is what’s behind your low production of cervical fluid, taking guaifenesin might help you produce enough wet, slippery fluid through the remaining cervical crypts to help you get pregnant.Below are a few comments from the site about this:It worked for me! I had six cycles of BFN and my first cycle with the robi, I got pregnant!It worked for me too! I had five cycles of BFN and my first cycle with Mucinex, I got pregnant! I think if timing is good with ovulation and this, it improves your odds.posted 9/14/2008 by blue_rain2401 I stop taking my pills in March 2008, first two months I did not get pregnant. When it was around my time for ovulation in May I took 2 mucinex pills and I am now 16weeks pregnant. I decided to try it because I had abnormal cells frozen and wondered if it could help. I seen this article on here and thought it couldn’t help but it did! Just try it and who knows it could help. ANYONE ELSE TRIED THIS AND HAD SUCCESS???Baby dust to all my dear ttc friends, hope this helps some of youIm so glad hun, glad someone found this helpful! good luck and let me know how it goes!

A: yea I read this when trying to concieve my first…..I tried it and did get pregnant….don’t know if it was because of this though…..Im not into medicines this time around and am using the REAL eggwhites as a lube now….many have had success with it too.
