Clomid Question - about mucus

[Tanzibar83]

Hey girls,

I wonder if any of you LTTC'ers know of any natural remedies and suggestions to help increase mucus levels while on clomid? I'm on round 2, last day tomorrow, and am already thinking about what it'll be like this cycle. Last one there wasn't much there and spent several days doing lots of kegals.

Any suggestions? I know lots of liquid and grapefruit juice can help, any idea on quantities?

I've heard that Mucinex and Robitussin can help increase CM. Also, have you thought about giving PreSeed a try? It's a lubricant and doesn't help increase your natural CM but I've read lots of great things about it.

hey wanting

aren't mucinex and robitussin supplements or tablets? If not then I'm so up for it!

hubbys been using the preseed for several months now, it did cost a lot but there's still tonnes left so I think it's good value for money

Mucinex and Robitussin are cold meds. There is a med within it that can increase your CM. I'm not sure why your DH would be using preseed though. Its a female vaginal lubricant that is sperm friendly.

Fish Oil pills can help with CM, as well as green tea and grapefruit juice (not from concentrate and no sugar added).

Hi Dazed

I meant we both use it but hubby does all the work involved with it.

Yeah I know about the grapefruit and I was drinking green tea last cycle but had no "extra" cm so it's off the cards this cycle.

I'm not looking for any meds or supplements this cycle, as in my original post I want natural things to try (food wise mainly). Will keep on searching through google

I just wanted to say that I tried grapefruit juice last cycle (my 2nd clomid cycle). I've read a lot of stories of women who like it, but honestly I think it delayed my O. I might try the Robitussin this time. I am thinking of trying pre-seed but if I have to order from Amazon I'm afraid it won't get here in time :/ And this is my last clomid cycle that I'm trying for a while. The doctor said I could have 6 cycles, but I need a break.

Nevernormal - Did you know Walgreens and CVS sell preseed now? Try them!

I just found that out today when I checked the preseed website to see if they had a "where you can buy it" page! Definitely stopping at CVS on the way home today! Thanks!

I dont even get EWCM but from what I've read yeah Robitussin, PLENTY of water, so much that it's coming out of your ears.. lol no caffeine or vitamin C as this can dry it up as can dairy products (weird) yeah grapefruit juice and I use conceive plus, Evening Primrose Oil up to ovulation - I used the high strength vitamin tablets and I cant think of anything else off the top of my head, green tea supposed to be good too, try decaf xx

Good luck

Sorry Tanz, apparently I can't read, lol. Completely overlooked that you asked for natural remedies!!

 

[Tanzibar83]

thanks for the advice nevernormal about the grapefruit, I've only eaten half of 1 in total this cycle so I will make sure not to over do it.

sarahlou1985 - interesting one about the vitamin c, I take tablets daily so I will cut back to see if that makes any difference I had decaf green tea last cycle and it had no effect on me.

haha it's ok wanting, I think the girls on here are just keen to share all their TTC knowledge
