1777912 tn?1314474892 iv been doing alot of looking on the internet about this sort of thing. there is a cough syrup called Robitussin (guaifenesin cough syrup) i know it sounds stupid because it is cough syrup, but as it has guaifenesin in it, it clears not only the mucas on your chest but also makes your cervical mucas thinner and runnier so the seman can swim through better. look it up on google. but make sure you get the one with guaifenesin in it as the other ones can dry up the cervical mucas .
Avatar n tn I know everything about that and other cough medicines and could tell you every thing and more. I will just tell you that it's the foulest taste of any cough medicine, narcotic or other wise. About how it get's you high.,sorry, this forum isn't an information cental for people who want to get high .
Avatar f tn Hi i can confirm that the cough syrup is robitussin chesty cough medicine that contains (guaifenesin) only.Its in a red and black box.I have never noticed my cervical mucus ever before and this was my first month on clomid.I took robitussin every morning and evening (5ml dose).You only take it after AF has ended and stop when you ovulate.I drank a glass of grapefruit juice every morning as its supposed to help CM too.
Avatar m tn The composition of the syrup is each 5ml contains 4mg Promethazine HCI, 9mg Codeine Phosphate and 8mg Ephedrine HCI. Each bottle of the syrup is 120 ml, I usually take one or two bottle of it. In my country, tablet with single composition is available. Which one/two of the tablet can replace the syrup?
682098 tn?1236908245 I was wondering if albterol cough syrup might help with my coughing and breathing. I am not a fan of inhalers nor do I like taking pills. Today has been horrible, everytime I open my mouth to talk I cough. I don't feel weezy it's a lot of coughing. I have been extremely busy so that bring about the coughing. I wanted to see if my doctor would call in a prescription for the cough syrup but I wanted to see if maybe someone could give me advise to what you think.
Avatar n tn It's all depends on what kind of cough medicine. Narcotic cough medicine or the DM type? I was hooked on narcotic cough medicine for years and got my addiction stated on it before there were even hydro pills. I had to drink some rough stuff like turpenhydrate and codeine and some other nasty stuff before I found the cleaner stuff but am not going to get into all that. There can be some problems from the other ingredients in cough medicine.
463575 tn?1211302688 Hi everyone, I'm back on the forum after a brief hiatus. I started AA 10 days ago, and haven't drank since. However, I came down with pneumonia 5 days ago, and the doc gave me cough syrup w/codeine to help with severe lung pain and sleep (I didn't ask for it.) I've never liked painkillers as they make me feel funky and cranky, so I've never felt the need to turn to them when in an emotional crisis.
1831920 tn?1320857757 I have never had a problem with cough syrup! You need it to sleep and get well. Use it two days or so and then get rid of it.
1047147 tn?1328906154 At first most people wonder what on earth a cough syrup has to do with fertility, but the logic is easily found in the fact that it is an expectorant and is being used to loosen and thin mucus - just in a different place than the lungs! The name Robitussin was used in the title of this FAQ as it is a common brand of cough syrup in the United States. It is used on the fertility boards and newsgroups in the same manner as saying Band-Aid for an adhesive strip used to cover a cut.
Avatar n tn drink plenty of fluids, if you feel worse go to the doc I just got over it and they gave me Azithromycin and codeine cough med..
Avatar n tn For OTC cough syrup, I use Delsym (Dextromethorphan polistirex) or Mucinex (Guaifenesin). I've never had a problem with either, and I'd consider myself fairly sensitive to cold medications. When I need the big guns, I get my PCP to prescribe Tussionex (chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone) aka. "Liquid Gold". I love this stuff. It's expensive, hence the name. But you WILL stop coughing, and you WILL sleep!

Avatar f tn 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?
1386765 tn?1451164337 I am not sure if this works or if this is a coincidence but I have to say the two times I used it I got pregnant. Try taking cough syrup. Just get the pain ole Robitussin with guaifenesin. Don't get it with any other active ingredients. The guaifenesin is the ingredient to loosen mucus. We generally use it for chest congerstion but it also loosens our lower region's mucus wich in turn help aid the sperm to its final goal...your egg.
1958049 tn?1325094006 It helps loosen mucus congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.The combination of codeine and guaifenesin is used to treat cough and to reduce chest congestion caused by upper respiratory infections or the common cold.
Avatar f tn Congrats on day 4! Definately share your concerns with your doctor! Stay away from the codeine cough syrup! But, you already know that. I'm sure there has to be alternatives. Take care, and I hope you feel better soon!
Avatar f tn So the dic put me on Symbicort inhaler 2 x a day for a month to start and a 15-day course of tapering Prednisone along with some cough syrup (guaifenesin and a little codeine) but only about three days worth of the syrup. None of it is really suppressing this cough. First couple of days I had a slight amount of blood in the urine from the prednisone. I guess I was dehydrated...and I do take a diuretic daily.
Avatar m tn I have been addicted to codeine phosphate cough syrup from last seven years and consuming three or four bottles daily(each 100 ml). I want to get rid of this, can anyone help me ? My age is 31.
683892 tn?1231212999 I went to the doctor and discovered that I have a sinus infection and bronchitis. Naturally, he prescribed cough syrup that contained codeine. I was a little hesitant at first but I easily justified taking some because I've been pretty miserable the last couple days. Now codeine has never really gotten me high(unless taken in massive doses)but I still feel a little guilty. Codeine's antitussive properties are great, but it's a narcotic all the same. So I have consumed narcotics.
Avatar m tn This leads to exaggerated effects or feeling of euphora and other symptoms. It may be harder for these people to get off the cough syrup because they are sort of absorb it more so to speak. There are genetic tests to see if you have this enzyme. But they are not covered by insurance and can be expensive. So, any medication that has opioids and drugs that are addictive you should use with caution. A lot of people get easily addicted to codeine in cough syrup as well and this drug is similar.
1662963 tn?1302827156 could taking cough syrup with codeine make a positive on a drug test for methamphetamine
