View Full Version : Does clotrimazole sway? And how about antibiotics?

I got pregnant last cycle and am super happy about that :-)

We were swaying pink, but that particular cycle was very chaotic.
First I had a throat infection and had to take antibiotics from CD 5 to CD 9. Then I had a bad cold and right after that I found out that the antibiotic treatment had given me a candida fungus infection. So I had to treat this infection with clotrimazole, starting from CD 16. I had a positive OPK on CD 17, so we DTD and I think I ovulated on CD 18. I never thought I would get pregnant as I had read that clotrimazole creates a bad environment for sperm. Plus I had almost no CM on the day of +OPK and on the day after.
But some swimmers obviously made their way to the egg :-D

So I know that antibiotics are supposed to sway blue. I also noticed that I got a lot of CM while taking them. Is there any long time swaying effect of antibiotics?

And does anybody have a clue if clotrimazole sways?
I couldn't find anything searching this site.

The old school sway gurus claimed antibiotics swayed blue, but it was because of pH and I haven't really seen any evidence to indicate that it was accurate in any way and I chalk it up to OWT. (On IG they had blue swayers getting illicit antibiotics for blue sways, which firstly I really disagree with and secondly some of those women did get girls while taking them so I know it's possible to get girls while on abx)

Clotrimazole seems neutral to me and I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks Atomic :-)
Wow that sounds really crazy to take antibiotics for swaying reasons :-/

I agree totally and I found it extremely shocking that the authority figures on IG were encouraging it because that is a public health issue that may have dire effects on each and every one of us.
