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. Although cough medicine was not meant to help with fertility issues, 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.
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.
To further increase your chances of conceiving, you need to pinpoint your ovulation. There are many ways to do this, such as using manual OPKs (Wondfo is cheap and consistently gets good reviews and there's also Clear Blue Digital Ovulation Tests), digital OPKs, such as the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor (It's expensive, but many women swear by it), charting, or ferning (saliva ovulation tests).
