An excellent over-the-counter remedy for fertility Robitussin works to increase the fertile quality cervical fluid we produce. Also known as guaifenesin it comes in several generic names. Robitussin happens to be one of the original makers of it. For the purpose of this article I will refer to it as simply Robitussin. Primarily used for helping to loosen nasal and bronchial mucus it also helps to “loosen” the mucus all over the body.
If you take Robitussin around ovulation time it will help to loosen and increase the fertile quality cervical fluid, thus making it easier for the sperm to travel up through it to the fallopian tubes. Some women notice it makes their cervical mucus very watery. This over-the-counter remedy has helped many women who otherwise didn’t seem to have enough of the cervical fluid at the time of ovulation.
Robitussin or guaifenesin can be found in both liquid and in gel caps. The taste is horrible, so some may prefer the gel caps if you can find them.
I have heard many success stories about taking it for fertility. Robitussin has been shown to help increase the cervical fluid and thus made conception a reality for these women. Of course you should always clarify this with your healthcare provider first.
For best results you need to take one to two teaspoons of Robitussin a day until ovulation. Most women will start taking it after the menstrual bleeding has stopped. Make sure when you buy it that it only has guaifenesin in it. Many different formulas exist – many with a decongestant and / or antihistamine – which can adversely affect the cervical fluid by drying it up.
If you try the Robitussin, be sure to drink plenty of water. This helps to also produce more cervical fluid. A great aid for enhancing fertility Robitussin, whether you purchase it by name brand or generic, can be a tremendous help in producing fertile quality cervical fluid.
