So what does V-8 do? And does it work? Do you have to drink yucky V-8 or can you drink V-8 splash? Thanks for any help!

Hi Faith,

V-8 Splash (has to be the Splash kind, not the regular kind) has lots of Vitamin A, which is supposed to increase your fertile CM. I haven't really tried it for TTC purposes yet, so I don't know if it works personally. The Tropical Blend kind is yummy, though, and I guess it never hurts to try! :) Hope this helped! Good luck to you!

Hi,

Many women on this board are drinking V8 Splash to increase/thin their cm-including me. Many of us are also using robitussin (active ingredient is guafenesin), which does the same thing as V8 splash. Both are especially helpful if you are on clomid because clomid can cause a decrease/thickening of cm. Hope this helps!

How much V-8 and Robitussin do you have to take. Any other tips about everyday stuff that can help you in TTC?

Thanks Jennifer

Drink 2-3 large glasses of V8 Splash from the end of AF to "o". Also for Robi, take it from AF to "O" 2tsp 3x/day. If you have a long wait for "o" ( like me!) just start this about 7 days before "o" is expected.

HTH!
