Guaifenesin Tablets (Instead of Robitussin)
The cure for thick cervical mucus
Guaifenesin is found in many cough and cold remedies as an expectorant (which is a delicate way of saying it loosens mucus and phlegm so you can cough it out). How can it aid fertility? It can aid fertility because it affects the cervical mucus in the vagina, making it thinner and more watery. If the cervical mucus is too thick, sperm become trapped in it as they try to reach the egg. Thinner cervical mucus allows the sperm to slip through the fluid rather than getting stuck in it.
Guaifenesin tablets are now available over the counter, an inexpensive alternative to buying icky cough syrup.
Robitussin is often suggested, but please read why you should use Guaifenesin tablets instead of Robitussin for fertility.
Important: If you do buy guaifenesin in a cough syrup or cold remedy, check the label to make sure guaifenesin is only active ingredient, because other active ingredients may not be safe when trying to conceive.

Gender selection theory: Good quality cervical mucus improves the chances for all sperm, but if Y-sperm swim faster, conception of a boy is more likely.
Use: Take 200mg with a full glass of water, three times per day. If cervical mucus does not become thinner, increase dosage to maximum allowed on the label. Take during the 5 days before ovulation, and the day of ovulation.
When not to use: There is no advantage in taking guaifenesin during the rest of your cycle, because the quality of your cervical mucus is only important at the time of intercourse. In fact, your cervical mucus is supposed to be thick and sticky during the rest of your cycle (when you're not ovulating), as a defense against any organisms that may find their way into the vagina.
Check with your doctor before using.

yes, I've used mucinex and I don't know if it was the cause alone, but it did help cut down the cervical mucus also, i tried a prodeuct called ovulex through the internet and it seemed to help my uterine lining. but none of these remedies won't help if you don't know what the problem might be (if there is a problem). check with your gyno and see what they think, there are some tests you can take for them to pinpoint the problem..Good Luck!!

Prince Lahirl's answer has at a loss for words me gays bypass after adult males so there does no longer be any sex with women human beings Lot is defined as righteous with out doing something to earn that label, perhaps that is like god - they both get labels because they are defined as that and so the circle is going round
