cough syrup for cm
Does anyone use decongestants (Guiefenesin found in cough syrup & cold meds) to help CM to be a good consistency? I heard it helps the sperm get through more easily. A friend of mine was TTC for five years and her husband had low motility. She started taking cough syrup and within 6-12 months, got pregnant and miscarried a few weeks in (in Nov.) & now is 5 weeks pregnant again and everything is looking good. I have been TTC for two years and am wondering if I should try it. Is it safe? I actually took Mucinex for sinus congestion for two days & today I have the egg white, stretchy, CM. That is what made me think of my friends situation. Any ideas?
Theres a lady on the 18-24 forum that used grape fruit juice and swears by it!!

Mucinex is fine to use. I am actually using it now for congestion and I have my IUI tomorrow. I have tons of CM right now but probably most if due to my injectable hormones.
I have used it (Guaifenesin) and it seems to work pretty well. Also, evening primrose oil and grapefruit juice are supposed to be really good!
