1047147 tn?1328906154 It would only make sense to take guaifenesin if one is planning to have intercourse in addition to doing IUI. Those doing donor insemination, for example, wouldn't benefit. Will taking guaifenesin cause any problems if it isn't needed? Probably not. Since fertile mucus can be watery, there is probably no harm in taking guaifenesin and thinning it out. What are some other possible ways to improve cervical mucus?
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar f tn Well I am old enough to take Geritol!!!!
Avatar f tn ve heard about taking Robitussin or Mucinex (guaifenesin) as and OTC aide and was wondering if anyone has had any success with it? Also, I've heard great reviews for Daily Wellness FertilityBlend from GNC. Is that one any good or is just a standard Prenatal vitamin a better choice?
Avatar f tn 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?
377493 tn?1356502149 Also if you do not do well with elixirs you may want to take Mucinex instead. It is Guaifenesin as well in an oral tablet form. You are supposed to use this before you ovulate and not after because Guaifenesin is thought to cross the placental barrier which means your fetus would be exposed to it. I have no clue what affect it has on the fetus. My body has always produced alot of EWCM, but I noticed when I used Guaifenesin, it increased my cervical mucus even more. I hope this helps friend.
Avatar f tn Good afternoon! I have been tracking my period and mucus for a few months now and this month we decided to TTC I used an OPK test and we had sex the day it was positive(12th) I have been eating like usual and past few days I have been feeling nauseous and a little more tired. I am 8 days (next Wednesday the 27th) from when my next expected period should be. Should I take a PT on Sunday or wait til day of missed period?
359295 tn?1285952394 I am just looking for natural ways to help increase fertility. I miscarried for a reason and would do anything to prevent it from happening again. Not sure if there is much to do, i know it is all left in Gods hands, but its nice to know i could be helping it along. just figure may i haven't gotten preggo yet is because the sperm is not swimming in enough cm, and so it has less chances to reach the egg. Just taking a wild guess here. Or maybe i do not have enough progesterone.
Avatar n tn Antibiotics for infections and bronchodilators for bronchospasm. And of course avoidance of smoking to prevent further damage to the lungs. If the inhalers are inadequate consult your doctor for alternate ones. Talk to your GP regarding this in the meantime you could try warm salt water gargles, steam inhalations and breathing exercises. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
1777912 tn?1314474892 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.
631676 tn?1333718203 This helps provide the optimal environment to help the sperm survive and get to where they need to go.If you take Clomid, waiting until the day after the last Clomid pill is taken before starting Robitussin is suggested. Is Robitussin available in pill form? Guaifenesin is also available in pill format, but this format usually requires a Doctor’s prescription.
2023091 tn?1334024905 ) well we havent been to the doctor at all, isnt to expensive for that? Even though it costs alot $$$ were going when i finish with my period.But i also tried the first response one month and nothing.thats why i think we need to see the doctor. AND for ttc on my fertile days we do the missionary one, sometimes DS! But most the other so i can put a pillow down in my hips. My hopes are still cuz i know god has that little miracle awaiting for us.:) any more tips. Did u do anything else?
Avatar n tn Yeah yesterday I tested negative with two home pregnancy tests. Sunday the dr said I have to go for blood tests.. was so hopefull for a positive home test... so scared the blood test will also say negative then I have to go through all the injections and sonars to check if I am ovulating. .
Avatar f tn ) mentions a protocol that he himself uses, and that he also tells all of his fibro patients to try. It requires you to take upto, but not limited to 2400mg of guaifenesin (Mucinex) daily. He says that with this protocol, you will notice that your symptoms will at first become worse, but will gradually disappear. He swears this is the way to reverse fibro. Now, when I heard this, I was obviously a little skepticle (who wouldn't be when you are told that Mucinex is the cure for fibro!
1106767 tn?1315050974 But if you take robitussin that contains the ingredient (guaifenesin) only and take 1 teaspoon morning and night its supposed to help.But you only take it after your period ends and stop when you ovulate.Drinking a daily glass of grapefruit juice also helps as does eating sweet potato or yams.I am using conceive plus also which is a lubricant similar to preseed.
Avatar n tn I've had asthma since I was little, and as far as I've gathered, expectorant is for non-asthmatic cough sufferers while mucolytics are for asthmatics. Is this true? What's confusing me though is why "guaifenesin", a component in one asthma pill I used to take, is used as an "expectorant", and the only OTC drug available for the purpose of easing the removal of phlegm here in the U.S.
Avatar n tn Robitussin is a brand name of a product that is based on guaifenesin, an expectorant. There are other guaifenesin based cough syrups also . It is used while TTC to thin the CM to make it more sperm-friendly. 1-2 tsp. twice daily about six days before suspected ovulation day until the thermal shift. Make sure the product only contains guaifenesin without added decongestants or antihistamines, which could dry your CM. good luck i hope you'll get BFP soon......

927769 tn?1275932602 The product you need to look for as the ONLY ACTIVE INGREDIENT IS GUAIFENESIN. Any other kind of mucous loosening med. with this and other stuff in it you SHOULDN'T TAKE. I've started on the generic of mucinex and it only has 400 MG of ONLY GUAIFENESIN. I would say ask your doctor and if they say you shouldn't take it because of birth defects then don't. Also, remember you're only supposed to take it 5 days before O and some doc's say you can take it the day after O.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Have your ob/gyne schedule and ultrasound to make sure all is ok. Its very common for women our age to have fibroids which are known to block tubes or make it harder for implantation. I have fibroids but thankfully they are on the outside of the uterus (which doesnt affect fertility). If all looks ok, you may not be ovulating every month. Doc can give you fertility meds like clomid to stimulate ovulation.
Avatar f tn They are more sensitive and accurate compared to urine tests. It is best to wait for your periods and take up the test if you miss your periods. The diagnosis of pregnancy can be made only after a complete history and physical examination, laboratory evaluation, and ultrasonography. Consult a gynecologist for more queries. Do keep us posted. Take care and regards!
1187113 tn?1320691496 You can have a period without having ovulated. A sure sign of ovulation is having your progesterone tested. If it is elevated it means you did ovulate. I would ask for a referral to a fertility specialist. It doesn't sound like your doctor is doing all that s/he can in order to help you achieve pregnancy. Sending a woman home with Clomid and telling her to have sex just isn't responsible enough for her and you're paying them a lot. :-( Hope you do get pregnant regardless of no CM!
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn After the cough subside I started to have throat pain again when I wake up then it would proceed to get better during the day and then towards the end of the day it's uncomfortable to say the least . I have fibromyalgia so and am in grad school and working so fatigue is my middle name . I wear a mouth guard and washed real good thinking maybe there was some bacteria on it or something .
