How much will Amoxicillin sway boy?

[kaseybaby]

So i am not really swaying per -se, but I would like another girl because my daughter was born with some health issues, I think her having a sister would be nice to confide in when she is older. So I am just sort of doing what I did when I conceived my DD. I am nursing twice a day, cardio 5 days a week, drinking some fertility teas, mag/cal, vitamin E, folic acid, acidophilus and fish oil . I have lost about 7 lbs but am not the weight I was when I conceived my DD yet.

Ovulation is coming up this week and I have an infection in my eyelid and need to be on amoxicillin. How much will that sway blue?

Huge congrats on the birth of your daughter!! :)

I personally do not think that the antibiotics have been shown to sway in any reliable way. It's all a bunch of anecdotes and supposition without any hard evidence.

We got really bad results with the acidophilus and now use it only for blue sways. I would have you drop that if you can get by without it.

I would definitely drop the vit e, fish oil, acidophilus. Those all sway blue. I'd drop everything except the folic.

I am only taking acidophilus since I am in an antibiotic. I really can't drop the other things, I have fertility issues and I don't want it to take 2 years to get pregnant again. I was on even more when I conceived my DD so I am hoping they will give me the same results. I was actually on nothing when I conceived my DS oddly enough

[kaseybaby]

I will drop the acidophilus. I was using it as a precaution

[kaseybaby]

I almost forgot I am on Vitex too

You could eat yogurt instead? That's what I do after antibiotics.

I wonder if you struggled with secondary IF if a dr would give you clomid? That would help your sway and get you pregnant faster, hopefully.

When on antibiotics the rules are different and you should take probiotics at that time and for a few days afterwards!!

[maidentomother]

While I can see the sense in that, I have not ever heard that or had it recommended to me! Is it a recent policy?

Though swaying-wise, a week of probiotics probably isn't a big deal anyway.

[atomic sagebrush]

It's what they're doing now in the US to prevent C difficile infections and just general tummy issues. When my son got bitten by a cat he had to go on antibiotics and they were very insistent that he had to take (horrifyingly expensive) probiotics the whole time and for a week after

[Mamato3?]

I work at a medical center and the doctors also insist that patients on antibiotics eat yogurt everyday until therapy is done.

I haven't ever had probiotics recommended either but I do usually eat yogurt and lately (when not swaying) I've been way into raw milk kefir.

I just ovulated last night, like clock work since I only ovulate on full moons, even though I was only CD 11, so weird how that works. I will begin yogurt and acidophilus tomorrow again. I have IBS so my stomach is easy messed up, and I don't want to take 3 weeks to recover.

I can actually get Clomid rather easily. My DD was a failed IVF converted to IUI baby. I am suppose to do IVF again in November if I don't get pregnant on my own, I was actually thinking about asking for Clomid for next cycle.

On another note about probiotics, my DD surgeon is studying probiotics and gut flora in one of the biggest research studies ever done on this topic. He fully supports the use of them after antibiotics. :)

Yogurt is good for upper digestive tract but does not always survive the stomach acid. when on antibiotics it is best to also take additional probiotic formulated to survive stomach acid :)
