guaifenesin for pregnant women

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. Any expectorant that contains guaifenesin as the only active ingredient is fine to use. What kind of Robitussin is used to improve cervical mucus? One should buy the plain kind with no letters after it. The only active ingredient is guaifenesin, and it contains 100 mg per teaspoon.

But the fact is that this expectorant is used to loosen and thin mucus of a different kind too, called cervical mucus, in women. Robitussin is only a specific brand and any expectorant that contains guaifenesin as the only active ingredient can be used in its place. Generic versions are most likely available as well. Be sure to carefully inspect the ingredients list to make sure the ONLY active ingredient as guaifenesin. Any other ingredients can diminish the effect you are looking for.

but everyone is diffrent hop it dont take that long for you . I got pregnant on my own 5 times after that with only 1 m/c .

Be sure to carefully inspect the ingredients list to make sure the ONLY active ingredient as guaifenesin. Any other ingredients can diminish the effect you are looking for. What is the recommended dose of Robitussin? The recommended dose for improving cervical mucus is two teaspoons (200 mg) taken orally three times per day. Recommended dosage is two teaspoons (200 mg) taken orally three times per day.

I just started taking clomid and i read to start the guaifenesin on day 10 till ovulation. On a website for fertility i read that you need to take 200mg three times a day!

Has anyone ever gotten guaifenesin with codeine prescribe. Want to know feed back on it I'm 12+4 days. Help please trying to get rid of this plhuem I had still. But kinda un sure.

Hi Everyone, Somewhere along the line I think I came across an article suggesting the some types of cough mixtures are also good for improving cervical mucus production. Am I mis-remembering this? My CM got very scarce towards the end of my 6mths of clomid. I am not sure why and am wondering if there is any way to reverse this. I would love to know if the cough mixture story in my head has any basis in fact. I had always thought that cough mixtures were to dry up mucus and stop runny noses!

So I am on to my third round of clomid. I have been pregnant 4 times in 12 months on my own, but my Dr. started me on clomid after two cycles of a shortened luteal phase. It has corrected that problem. Also, with a history of m/c, he wanted me on it to boost progesterone (I take prometrium and baby asprin after ovulation as well.) I was obviously ovulating on my own, and as far as I know that hasn't changed. Periods are normal.

Guaifenesin, an expectorant (Hytuss, Mucinex, Naldecon Senior EX, Robitussin) Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant (Benylin Adult, Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough, Scot-Tussin DM, Vicks 44 Cough Relief) Guaifenesin plus dextromethorphan (Benylin Expectorant, Robitussin DM, Vicks 44E) Cough drops Vicks VapoRub But I would recommend going to the doctor for them to prescribe u it so ur 100% sure it's safe to take while pregnant

I have a stuffy nose, major headache & throat hurts. I'm 35 weeks pregnant & doctors office is closed till tomorrow morning what medication can I take that will be safe for me & my baby?

Make sure the only active ingredient is guaifenesin! It helped me get more CM! I hadn't had ANY for a year and then I used Mucinex (KIDS) and I had CM!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't get pregnant but it did make me hopeful!

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?

30-8pm prior to not drinking fluids for 3-4 hrs. if you hav 30 day cycle, u can start from CD 12-20. also for CM- i tried it on one month just to see if its work or not, its drinking ruby red grapfruit juice. regular grapfruit juice will work too, but ruby is sweeter. however, drinlk every 2-4 hrs then u will see very good amount of CM on the same day.

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.

However, on page 7 you recommend guaifenesin, an ingredient in Robitussin cough syrup, as a potential remedy for women who are having fertility problems because of overly short cervical fluid patches. A recent study has shown that another ingredient in Robitussin, Dextromethorphan, causessevere birth defects in chicken embryos. These include neural tube defects such as spinobifita and craniofacial anomalies including cleft lip and palate defects.

NOT Mucinex DM, ect) only Mucinex (or store brand) with the only active ingredient is guaifenesin, and it contains 100 mg per teaspoon. I hear there is new product that is specially designed for women with cm issues... I thinnk it is Fertile CM. But I do not know anything about it... maybe the internet? It doesnt hep create cervical mucus, it just thins it.

hey you guys, this is helpfull, i had a cyst last year removed, and another recently, ive been telling my doctor now, for 5 years, that ive been trying for a baby, he is just interested in removing cysts!!

its more like an egg white if ovulation is near... any ways i've read that robitussin (guaifenesin), you should buy the plain one with no letters after it... robitussin can help loosen up cervical mucus... hope it helps....

Guaifenesin, how much is an Overdose? My daughter 11 years old 100 lbs (big for her age), took (the correct dose) 5mL cough and cold medicine that had the following in that dose. Guaifenesin, USP 100 mg, Dextromethorpan HBr, USP 10 mL. Phenylephedrine HCI, USB 5mg. But then she also took (the correct dose) 10 mg of a prescription medicine Guaifenesin-Codeine syrup (generic for Robitussin AC syrup). It doesn't state on the label the quantity of Guaifenesin mg in the 5mL dose.

One side effect of Mucolytics is bronchospasm and is therefore contraindicated for asthma patients. Guaifenesin, aka Robitussin, is an expectorant, and should be safe for asthma patients as long as is it is taken as directed. I am a nursing student and this is what I have learned on the subject so far. I stumbled on this question while I was researching the subject.

The alternative is guaifenesin, which you can buy over-the-counter. Mucinex contains guaifenesin, but I would get the plain guaifenesin. It works very well.

and this time im also going to have Robitussin to ensure there is no problem with my CM...now i know the dosage and all that..but for how long should i take the medicine?? till the ovulation day?? im going to start taking it the day after i'll take the last clomid pill...anyone who've used robitussin???

Just read somewhere about Guaifenesin helping in getting you pregnant by thinning your cervical fluid, which enables sperm to travel through your cervix and fertilize an egg.
