Talk to me about Robitussin, OPK's and other things...

I have not used OPK's ever. I feel like they are a bit confusing. I use CM as a fertility indicator (which is obviously not working). I purchased CBE Digital OPK's yesterday. I have an average 28 day cycle (give or take) I plan on starting them on CD 10 and testing until I get a smiley face. I am currently on CD 8. Should we wait to BD until I see the smiley face or start before? I have read alot about taking Robutissin on here as it helps thin out CM. When should I take that? During "O" time? I want to give this month a valiant attempt where as in the past it has been just BD'ing from day 11-16. Any other information would be greatly appreciated!!! I appreciate all of your advice!!

I would start bding before you get the smiley. Then when you get the smiley, rule of thumb is to do it that day and the next two days. I believe the Robitussin is to be taken the week of O. I follow lay in bed with a pillow under my butt for about 20 minutes after bding to try and help the swimmies find there way up. Remember all these things are just "old wives tales" I think the most important thing to do is stay relazed and not get crazy with it. When it is time, it will be time.
Good luck!
