Hi Ladies! I was wondering if you were planning on doing BOTH antihistamines before TTC? I know I will take zyrtec. And I feel like i can't really check ewcm a few hours before to know if i should take the benadryl bc I will be doing an applicator of rephresh 8 or 9 hours before. Make sense? Any thoughts would be so appreciated :-)

I used both today. (Tmi but..) I'm extremely nervous bc hubby said I had a lot & was wet. (I guess he can tell) I took them both an hour before attempt.

You can take both but it may be too much of a good thing and stop all the swimmers so you get a bfn. If you're ok with that then go for it! I'm not using rephresh as I did so with my last (failed) sway. I don't think the rephresh had anything to do with conceiving an opposite, I'm just trying to keep it as simple as possible this time.

Thank you ladies! I don't mind a bfn except for the exercising!!!! I'm so over it haha! But I think I might still do both :-) and then if I get a negative I will drop the benadryl

I'd play it by ear, do Z and see how it works and you can always add in the B at the last minute 1-2 hours before attempt if you have a lot of CM

Is there another name for Zyrtec? Do any antihistamines work for this?

cetirizine

any antihistamine sways pink, but only cetirizine and benadryl (diphenhydramine) are ok to be used together (as confirmed to me by doctors and pharmacists) I would not combine any other antihistamines because I do not know if it's ok to do that.

I say don't use the rePhresh! I had a militant sway the first time. I used rePhresh, a tiny bit of Aci Jel and I took Zyrtec for 4 or 5 days (one a day) and Benedryl the day of and got a BFN. I am VERY fertile too and it even stopped me. I would say ax the rePhresh for sure! That's what I'm doing this time. I'm only taking the Zyrtec because I have a lot of ewcm this go round.

Jellies have gotten crap results too - same for people using and not using them, indicating that they aren't doing a whole lot for swaying.
