Has anybody tried cough syrup?

[Corinna N]

The other day a friend of mine suggested taking cough syrup around ovulation time to increase my chances of conceiving because it thins the mucus. Has anyone tried this and had it work? I TTC'd for 14 months, finally got my bfp, then mc'd at 6 1/2 weeks. I'm now in my second month trying after the mc and am hoping that I don't have another long wait so I'm trying do whatever I can to support the cause!

I've not tried it myself, but I have heard that some woman take Robbitusin to thicken CM if they don't have too much around ovulation. It must be popular because when I buy my OPKs and Preseed from amazon, they always recommend it to me

Cm is not an issue for me, but if it becomes an issue after I start clomid then I def will try it. It's meant to be effective at increasing cm

I was all ready to buy some whilst taking clomid, but if anything clomid has had the opposite affect on me
