Mucinex, like
Robitussin, is an expectorant and as such can help aid thin mucus so it comes out. Some women have tacky CM and
cough medicine can help turn it into EWCM.
Cough medicines are commonly suggested to women who don't have a lot of EWCM.
Cough medicine
was not meant to do this, but some women have found that, although it's
not licensed to help with EWCM, it does. Other women are not comfortable
using medicines for things that they're not supposed to do. If you decide to take it, make sure you are drinking lots of water and are well-hydrated.
Toni Wescheler, the author of
Taking Charge of Your Fertility recommends taking Robitussin. Doctors in the article,
Improvement of Cervial Factors with Guaifensein, recommend taking
guaifenesin.
There are many posts about
Mucinex and EWCM. Below are just a few. Do your research and decide if you think it's right for you. It
cannot create mucus if you don't have any to begin with. Drinking lots of water can help you make mucus. If you do
decide to take
Mucinex, look at the ingredients. You want it to have
Guaifenesin, which is the expectorant that will thin mucus. You just want to buy regular
Mucinex, not the DM version.
If you're going to take it, women usually take 2 teaspoons (200
mg) 2-3 times a day with a max of 4 teaspoons 4 times a day. If you're taking the pill format, take 400-600mg. Women typically start 5 days before ovulation and take it through ovulation.
