I was looking for the same question. Because I heard some rumours. On the net I discovered this: From the 'personal path to pregnancy'
"Ways to Increase Cervical Mucus: Robitussin – at first you may wonder what on earth a cough syrup has to do with fertility, but the logic is that it is an expectorant used to loosen and thin mucus in the lungs. Well, it happens to work elsewhere too!! It is critical that you only use the plain Robitussin, the one with no letters after the name. To be sure, check the ingredients and make sure it contains only one ingredient – guaifenesin. Take two teaspoons three times a day with water, starting about five days before ovulation and continuing through ovulation day."
I don't know if it is true..

More facts: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/482896 Guaifenesin has also been shown to have effects on the uterine cervix. Guaifenesin (200 mg) 3 times a day improves fertility. We hypothesized that guaifenesin alone, through its possible effects of analgesia, muscle relaxation, cervical dilation, and cervical mucous thinning, could be effective in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea.

But prescribed consumption of Guaifenesin can also help to overcome infertility. One can realize the effectiveness of this unique ingredient, when you understand that guaifenesin helps cervical mucus to become thinner, which assists the active sperm to enter into the cervix.

But who would think that guaifenesin, the active ingredient in Robitussin cough syrup, would work to thin out cervical mucus and aid fertility?
Make sure that you buy the plain guaifenesin, though, because there are many combination products.
So, I guess it might be true after all! :)
