What is the difference between primerose oil and mucinex? Do I take them both? I took clomid this month for the first time and it's left me with little cm. Isn't good cm good for the little swimmers? Thanks for everything!!

Hi BabyFever, the Evening Primrose Oil comes in gel-capsules, usually of either 500 or 1,000mg each. The dose is 1,500mg to 3,000mg per day from cycle day 1 until ovulation. Once you have ovulated, you stop taking it for the rest of that cycle.
The Mucinex (Guaifenesin) tablets are 600mg each * you take one every 12 hours (2 a day) starting one week before ovulation * stopping once you ovulate. For liquid Robitussin, you take it on the same days, but you have to take it every four hours * it tastes awful!!! I say go with the tablets twice a day!
I hope this will help....I am on my 3 round of clomid days 1-5 & i am taking primerose oil 3000mg.

I am doing the evening primrose oil and mucinex this month too. I think I should have started the mucinex sooner but we'll see. I am still waiting to ovulate. I am on cd 12 and starting to notice more cm.

The mucinex thins mucus. Primrose oil is supposed to help with mucus production.

Wow, ya'll are so helpful! I am on cd 16 and I think I may have ovulated today. I did the robitussin for a little bit this month, you're right Neuza it is awful! I've just heard about primerose, mucinex, and the baby aspirin just a few days ago, so I guess I'll do all that next month - hope I want have 2 though :)
