MrsTurner, I see that you're in the UK, so I'm not sure what stores you have. Here in the US, you get get it anywhere that sells medication (WalMart, Walgreens, CVS, Target, etc.), but I honestly don't know what stores you have over there. The active ingredient in Mucinex is guaifenesin, so maybe if you don't have that exact brand name in the UK, you can still find another medication with that active ingredient. Just remember that they do make different types of Mucinex, so if you do find it, guaifenesin needs to be the only active ingredient. If there are other active ingredients in it, such as phenylephrine or psuedoephedrine, that means that it contains decongestants, which you don't want if you are just trying to thin your cervical mucus.
I hope that all made sense!
Also, I just take prenatal vitamins, which have folic acid in them but also ever other essential vitamin that you need. It's the norm over here in the US to take prenatal vitamins, not just folic acid, but again, not sure how it is over in the UK.
If you have a wide variety in your diet, then you probably don't have to worry about taking a vitamin, since you will be getting all your nutrients from your food.
Tristansmommy, good idea.
I'll be getting mine checked more often now as well.
How are you guys feeling today? I am exhausted. I couldn't sleep at all last night, and I also had to go to urgent care because I am sick. Turns out that I have bronchitis, so they put me on antibiotics and gave me an inhaler. I'm thinking that's why I was so wired last night.
CD3 and counting, ladies!
It's so hard when you get your period, but at least it's a good thing to know that there is another opportunity to get pregnant. How long have you been trying? How old is your baby?
