Swaying boy - How much Guaifenesin?

[skuba]

Hi,

How much guaifenesin is recommended for saying blue? And is it to take everyday or is it ok just a few days prior to fertile window?

As far as supplements for DW, of the big list recommended here, which ones are known to be more successful? She is already on prenatal and I believe folic acid.

Thanks

For women it is recommended 200mg three times daily starting 5 days before ovulation for a total of 6 days. If mucus is still thick she can take up to 1200-1600mg daily.
The same dosage for men if sperm is thick for the same period of time.

I think you really only need the guan for like 3-5 days coming into ovulation. Some people like to take it daily starting after AF ends and going 3 days past ovulation - no one really knows how much is "enough" or if there even is such a thing as enough. Guanefesin is believed to be quite safe and we've never had a single report of any adverse reaction to it so it's ok to take longer if you want to hedge your bets.

I think a good prenatal, extra Vit. D, and folate up to 2000 mcg a day are the best. You can also add in a DHA supp like the type designed for pregnancy, or a fish oil type product (I think she'd be more open to the DHA supp because she can just continue with it during pregnancy)
