Has anyone tried Guaifenesin (Mucinex) and a baby asprin while TTC?

Has anyone tried Guaifenesin (Mucinex) and a baby asprin? This is my second month on Clomid (50 mg) days 4-8 this month; 5-9 last. I have read a lot about Guaifenesin and baby asprin... just wondering if anyone has had any luck with it? I am currently in the 2nd week of my 2ww... Baby dust to all.

I don't think in general baby aspirin is used to ttc.  Many women get put on it due to clotting disorders.  I had lab tests for multiple miscarriages and came back with high anticardiolipid antibodies and positive for lupas anticoagulant so I began taking baby aspirin.  

To be honest , just for the heck of it or in general it doesn't necessary help ensure successful pregnancy.  Nor does it ensure sucessful pregnancy if you have what I described.  

As far as guaifenesin works, i've heard you have to take a lot more than what's recommended on bottle and basically it thins out the cervical mucous (all your mucsous) that you already have.   It may give the appearance that there's more than what you're used to seeing, however, it doesn't make you have more than you normally would have, i.e. increase in the production of CM.

Yes. My RE put me on baby aspirin, one a day for our 3rd try at IVF but haven't heard of mucinex used.

Thanks for the information!! Guess I will see if it has helped at all in a few days... 5 more days until testing!!! I am just going to keep taking my baby asprin until then!

Mucinex is used to help with CM. It does not create more just thins out what you already have which could make it easier (in theory) for DH's swimmers to get to their target! I started taking 600 mg the day after I finished my cycle of Clomid until I o'd then I switched to baby asprin. Who knows... but at this point I would try almost anything.
