Mucinex (guaifenesin) is well-known for its use in relieving chest congestion, but it also has a surprising off-label benefit for women trying to conceive. Its active ingredient thins mucus in the body, including cervical mucus, which is crucial for fertility.
When it comes to fertility, some women use Mucinex to increase cervical mucus around ovulation. By thinning cervical mucus, it may help sperm travel more easily to the egg, potentially boosting conception chances.
