Can any moms vouch for robitussin cough syrup helping conceive?

16.February, 2010

I read that robitussin cough syrup helps the cervical mucous more favorable for the sperm, are there any moms that have tried this? and what kind of robitussin do you use, is there only 1 kind?

Tink’s Mommy is right.

A friend told me the same. She had problems with her CM not being good quality. She said the porblems she had "wasn’t anything a few teaspoons of Robitussin couldn’t cure." I laughed and said "OK, teaspoon a day!"

Well, I did not have a chance to try it…I got pregnant that night. No medical intervention or other magical stuff…just the good old fashioned way.

Get your hands on the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It’s an awesome book.

    I havent tried it, and I have never heard of that logic. I am also trying to conceive so you let me know if it works.

    It is supposed to thin your cervical mucous similar to the way it thins the mucous when you have a cold. Supposedly its just the regular Robitussin that doesn’t treat any other symptoms. I have also heard that Baby Aspirin affects cervial mucous? I tried all kinds of these type of things, but we ended up using IUI to finally get pregnant. Good Luck :)

    It does thin your cervical mucous, making it more sperm-friendly. But, if that’s not the reason you’re not conceiving, then it won’t help you. It can’t really hurt to try, but don’t use it more than 4 or 5 days (the few days leading up to ovulation and ovulation day).

    i tried it once, i couldn’t take it when i didn’t need it for a cold,etc. It just tastes awful, reminds me of when I’m sick.
