MedHelp Member's Question

Mucinex D

by Itlyncutie87, Jun 12, 2008 02:39PM

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone has taken Mucinex D while TTC and got pregnant?
A girlfriend of mine told me to take Robitussin, so I went a bought some and it doesn't have guaifenesin in it while is suppose to help thin out your cervical mucus so I saw that I had Mucinex D left over so I was going to try and see if that works this month. I have 5 of them so I will start taking it on the 15 and stop taking it on the 19th. But if anyone has heard of Mucinex D working in helping get pregnant let me know! Thank you for your help.

Hello,

There is no literature supporting its use in the way you are attempting.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
