a Bit of Interesting Info.... Posted: 02-12-05 21:28pm
I was talking to the dr I was working with
and asking of things to do to increase the
chances of getting pregnant, I had heard
that robotussin and baby asprin
helps.........When I asked that, she said
that taking robotussin if u do get
pregnant and not know can cause a hole in
the heart, I just thought id let everyone
know.

Oh wow. I haven't heard that. That's
scary. The docs in america have
recommended robitussin in the past, I
wonder if they stopped.

I have a hole in my heart, but I don't
think it was caused by robitussin. I
never heard that about robitussin or baby
asprin though. I'll keep that in mind

I looked up the robitussin on the
internet. And this what I found. Plus
some more methods not to follow.
The following methods will not, and we
repeat, will not help you get pregnant.
Taking robitussin® cough syrup before
trying to conceive.
Taking the herb wild yam.
Not urinating after sex.
Lying with your feet over your head after
sex.
Standing on your head after sex.
Making love during the day with the lights
on.
Having sex every day instead of every
other day.
Sitting in the same chair a pregnant woman
has sat in.
Staring into the eyes of a pregnant
woman.
Putting ice packs on your partner’s
testicles. (ouch!)
but I couldn't find the side effects of
it. But I guess it is just like
everything else that you are not suppose
to take while pregnant.
