Infection or normal? Photos in comments
Hi all! 16 days post section. Not showered yet today but did yesterday.

Mucinex/benylin guaifenesin
Hi ladies, I have read a lot on mucinex and how it helps TTC. I have just ordered benylin guaifenesin, as that is the UK alternative to mucinex. How many days do I need to take this for and how many times a day? Is it just through the ovulation period? I am fertile from tomorrow. Tia, hoping for our rainbow 🌈
