Baby Aspirin + Mucinex = Baby?

[DSemcho]

So I've read on this page a lot that people use Baby Aspirin and even Mucinex to get pregnant... What days is it suggested they be taken?

Ive never heard of the asprin, but the mucinex is suggested you take 2 an hour before sex, on whatever days you have sex prior to ovulation

 

[DSemcho]

So what if you don't know what time you are going to have sex? We try to make it spontaneous, but we are going to have it for 7 - 10 days everyday.

In our case, this week we know i'll be ovulating, so i take the Mucinex when DH leaves work, he has about an hour commute, we go straight to the bedroom and then cook dinner etc. This is the only time we "schedule" sex. He knows he's gonna get it the minute he walks in the door, or soon there after, and he's ok with that and has the whole hour drive home to think about it

I have heard about the baby aspirin helping with TTC because I think it had something to do with better blood circulation or something but you were just supposed to take 1 a day everyday

I would definitely suggest not taking aspirin without first talking to your doctor, because it is a blood thinner.

The Mucinex, I was told, is supposed to be taken every day starting after the last day of your period. Or, if you are on Clomid, then start the day after the Clomid runs out.

what is the mucinex supposed to do to help?

Exactly what I was about to type!

Mucinex is an expectorant. It thins mucus secretions. So, in theory it is supposed to thin cervical fluid to be more sperm-friendly. IMHO, you are way better off drinking lots of water. I do know that certain fertility drugs can dry you out down there (clomid) and some women have 'hostile' cervical fluid. It is too thick for the sperm to swim through. If you are notice a wet or lubricated feeling around O, you probably don't need any help in that dept.

 

[DSemcho]

Well I am taking Clomid this cycle. And I'm going to be using EPO, Mucinex, and Conceive Plus so that I'm not dry.

Mucinex works immediately so i think taking it every day is overkill, as you dont really need to be thin prior to the week of Ovulation. BUT im not saying not to do it every day, by any means

Also the baby asprin COULD be taken but i'd certainly consult with a doctor first, you dont need your blood to be thinner to conceive.
