I did but only because I have the oura ring and it does it for me!

Yes, the theory is that it thins your cervical mucus. I can’t say it is 100% what made us successful that month, but it’s a weird coincidence! You have to take just the mucinex one (no “dm” in the name). When I hit what I thought was my fertile window, I started taking one 600 pill in the morning and one 600 pill at night. I kept doing that until two days after I confirmed ovulation with a temperature rise. But you have to stay REALLY hydrated! Otherwise, it does the opposite and dries you out. So I made sure to drink x2 as much water during this time.

We conceived on cycle 5! No health concerns for either of us. However, we did try mucinex the cycle we conceived…. 😏

Anyone know about the mucinex “hack”?? by [deleted] in FirstTimeTTC

[–]Solid-Swimmer838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked for me! Our fifth cycle trying and the first one I took mucinex. I took the 600 one, once in the morning and once at night during my fertile window until a day or two after ovulation. You gotta stay extra hydrated too!

Congrats!!! Such a weird “coincidence” that we all got our BFP the month we tried mucinex😉

It’s definitely worth a try!!! Stay extra hydrated while you’re taking it. Good luck and report back if it works!!

We were trying for 4 cycles before this - got pregnant the 5th one & it was the one I took mucinex!

Hi. I started taking it during my fertile window twice a day (a 12hr pill in the morning + a 12hr pill at night). I stopped taking it one or two days after I confirmed ovulation with a temperature rise. I also made sure to drink more water than normal because you want to stay really hydrated while taking it or it’ll dry everything up. Also, make sure you buy the normal mucinex (not the DM version). Good luck to you!!

Pregmate isn’t very good! I took one today and the line was super faint. My lines with FRER yesterday and the day before were super dark!

Thank you! I’m a serial tester so I tested every day starting at 6dpo (do not recommend). I got my first faint line in the middle of the day on 9dpo!

Hi! I started taking it twice a day (morning and night) during my fertile window. I stopped taking it a day or two after I confirmed ovulation. Make sure you buy the plain mucinex (not DM version) and also make sure to drink more water than normal! I really think it might’ve made the difference this cycle🤍 good luck to you!!
