The Robitussin/fertility connection is fascinating. I had heard cold medicines could affect cervical mucus, but for some reason I thought it negatively impacted fertility. I’m not trying for kids yet, but this is great info to keep in mind for the future.

If guaifenesin helps fertility, I’ll bet going off dairy does too.

Very surprised to see this reported as news. My niece, now 25, was conceived after my sister’s doctor recommended Robitussin.
