Refresh my memory

I want to use the robitussen and grapefruit juice trick, but I forgot how much to use for next cycle (just in case). The very first cycle that I used these I got pregnant with Brennan. Help me out girls, because my mommy brain isn't working!

I can't remember exactly on the robi, hopefully someone else will know.

But i drank a big glass of grapefruit juice every morning from cycle day 1 through ovulating the last few months i ttc'd the first time and i really believe it did help my cm and therefore getting pregnant.

Good Luck!

Here's what I had saved for the Robi http://members.tripod.com/~ttcfaq/herb.html#Robitussin1

Which kind to get?
mfs says:
Get the kind that had Guifenesin as the ONLY active ingredient! Any other ingredients will dry up cervical mucus.

How much to use?
mfs says:
1-2 tsps / once in morning, once in evening

mfs says:
Start 4-5 days before expected ovulation, and continue until ovulation has occurred.

funny thing is I didn't take Robi, I hated the stuff but I had it all saved

I did try grapefruit juice and didn't notice a difference. I loved the green tea.
