[Jasmine_rose]

Allergies have been bothering me for the last 24 hours...in fact I've had really bad allergies since TTC - itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose, sinus headaches, plugged ears - usually comes on for a couple of days and then disappears for a couple of weeks. I'm taking Claritin b/c it is an approved drug if you are pregnant. Anyone know if allergies can cause problems while TTC?

I know a shot in the dark!

 

[Jennjenn]

So I am going to respond to my own post - Clairitin does cause issues...I had to google antihistamine and fertility. So I guess I'll have to stop using it all together and just stick with Tylenol and my netty pot.

 

[firstbaby25]

Jenn I just read this! Anti histamine does decrease your chances of pregnancy - it dries up your cm I think I take benadryll and I had to stop too, to be fair I haven't had much cm since...

 

[Jennjenn]

I haven't really noticed a difference in quantity, but maybe it affects quality too of the CM. I am thinking I can take it until about day 8 of my cycle if I really need it. And then once I ovulate...i think it should be fine. I just don't want to take it during my fertile window. But I'm using pre-seed as well...it did say it helped the man's fertility, so maybe I should give it to my DH...

I'm 12dpo so taking it today should not really hurt, but I'll use it as a last resort for the next couple of months.

 

[Jennjenn]

FB25 - I see you and I are both 12 dpo. Will you do a FRER or any type of test tomorrow or near future? I have no real symptons, so I'll keep my $$ in my pocket book for now. Plus my cycle is schedule to start on Wednesday, so I am pretty certain it's negative.

 

[firstbaby25]

I'm not gonna test unless I get a reason too since I'm due wednesday too that gives me a window of tomorrow for nature to do something and I doubt it. Plus I was spotting today, stopped now but it's probably too late to be ib or anything remotely linked to a

I have conceive plus for next cycle I'm really hoping that by the end of the bottle I have a and it proves to be the best £10 I've spent!

 

[katiekittykat]

We've been referred to a fertility specialist!! I didn't think it was that serious just yet - I thought maybe he'd give me Provera - but OH has got to hand in an SA at the lab tomorrow and I'm just waiting for an appointment.

He said due to my age, the amount of time we've been trying (since October), my wonky cycle, and the fact I haven't got any kids, I qualify for treatment under the PCT guidelines!

So although nothing has really happened, something has happened...if that makes sense!

 

[jacks mummy]

Oh katie I'm not quite sure if that's a type of good news or a type of bad news (if u no what I mean) its great they took u seriously! But a shame you've got to go thru this at all!! Well I hope they help loads and u get ur bfp sooner rather than later!!!
And girls that are ready to test I didn't really have any symptoms either tbh nothing that made me think oh I'm definitely pregnant! I just like to pee on sticks
Jasmine hope ur af shows up soon!!!! Shout at me if u think I'm being stupid.. But since ur mc have u taken a test? Just to rule out that maybe it was alittle early when u had the scan..
Lucy... How many dpo are u?????? I'm hoping the pre seed has helped u this month!!! Fingers crossed!!!
Anyway I'm ill got a bad cold and an eye infection in BOTH eyes now!! Need to go to the docs asap poor me lol pregnancy wise I've not been sick yet (just feel sick) but my boobs are now that sore I can barley touch them. And **TMI** I'm really constipated but there is nothing u can really take for that when pregnant so will just have to cope ah well Its just the joys of pregnancy hope everyone is well!! Xxx

 

[Jasmine_rose]

Hi stacey

I havent taken a test since the MC but I have had a scan since the MC to check everything was ok and I didnt need any intervention and there was nothing left of the pregnancy. Still no Af but I have polycystic ovarium syndrome so not unusual in the condition for AF to be all over the place although normally for me I have short cycles not long ones. Prob just being pregnant thrown me off track... maybe im going to miss this cycle completely and have a heavy one next month... depends went went on hormone wise after the MC I guess

 

[Jasmine_rose]

This might sound awful but I think Im ready to take Baby Jasmines ticker off. It really helped at first to see it there but since Baby Pip went Im just not sure about it being there I will never forget being pregnant with her ( even though I never knew she was a her) but Im ready to move on morning the loss of two pregnancies is just too much so its time.

 

[Jennjenn]

Well I'm 13 dpo and my cycle should start tomorrow. My temp this morning was at the coverline and my boobs are flat as pancakes. So I'm pretty sure it's a NO GO for this month. I don't feel like wasting my last FRER.

I just took medicine for my sinus headache b/c I can't function without it. But I'll definitely not take it next week when I'm back in fertility mode...

Jasmine - it took me a while to get over my MC. I still remember all the dates- when I conceived, when it happened, the due date, etc. It's not awful in the least, just part of the grieving process.

Katie - glad to hear you are moving forward. I hope they can get you in soon and have more definitive answers. It's the not knowing that drives me crazy...

Stacey - I thought you had symptons before you got your :BFP: I was going to go back through the posts to see what yours were...

 

[jacks mummy]

I can understand hun! I just read ur new signature and it made me cry alittle it must be soooo hard being in ur shoes at the moment but i do believe that u will get pregnant and carry the baby full term and be a fantastic mum all over again! The fear I'm carrying around with me at the moment is crippling and that's the first time I've admitted that on here I worry all the time sometimes I can feel my cm and I'm petrified of going to the toilet incase its blood. So I can't imagine how the prospect of trying again after 2 losses must feel but all I can say is we are all here for u our big virtual worldwide family!! xxx

 

[jacks mummy]

I did have "symptoms" but nothing that screamed PREGNANT I had symptoms every other month aswell so I started to ignore them tbh thinking it was all in my head lol x

 

[katiekittykat]

Hi girls!

Still waiting for OH to get his finger out and do what he needs to do in a cup.....

 

[jacks mummy]

Give him a helping hand xx

 

[mmdrago]

Jasmine whatever you need to do for yourself is fine. There is no need to justify anything to anyone but we are here for you. I hope that things get back on track for you soon!

Katie I'm (sort of) glad that you are finally getting somewhere. At least now SOMETHING can happen! Good luck on all the tests!

jacksmummy don't worry I still feel like that EVERY TIME I go to the bathroom. It's this little nagging worry inside of me that I will see blood. I have my first appointment on the 2nd and I am hoping that will knock all the fears out of me for good and I try to focus on being happy and excited.

Good luck to those still hopeful and lots of for those coming up! BFPs for all!!!

 

[KB38]

You girls will both be fine Jacks Mummy and mmdrago, I just know it.

Jennjenn, I don't know how you do it but I wish I had your secret. I've been pretty restrained with testing this month (I've only done 2 @ 9 and 11 DPO) but I couldn't stand the not knowing at all bit!

My temp has dipped well below the coverline today so that with 2 BFNs pretty much reassures me that I'm out for this month. AF is due tomorrow and I have a really bad back ache today so I guess its on its way. I am pretty disappointed but I'll get over it.

Has anyone heard from LucyLu for a while?
