Antibiotics :(

[honeybee37]

We are due to have our first attempt next month, it will be in around three weeks. I've been ill all week and saw the doctor today who prescribed me 7 days' antibiotics for a chest infection. I was surprised to read they sway blue (I thought being run down might sway pink). Should we postpone the attempt until March or will two weeks be enough to get them out of my system? Also I've not done any cardio since Sunday due to being ill which is something else to consider... I had been doing 65 min daily. Part of me thinks all the sway factors have made me very run down (this is the first chest infection I have ever had in my whole life!) and maybe we should just get on with it. Does anyone have any opinions? Thanks in advance!

I'm not at all convinced ABs sway blue, being sick sways pink, and I'd definitely not delay attempting. Proceed!

Thanks, maidentomother! What do you think about the break in cardio? Is it worth starting up again in a couple of days for 2.5 weeks or will this do more harm than good? I really wanted to include cardio in my sway so I'm a bit gutted to go ahead without it when I've been doing it for four weeks pretty much daily :-/

[maidentomother]

I'd definitely resume cardio as soon as you feel well. The break is not a big deal. Plus you may not get pregnant for a while.

I got bronchitis too this month. Agh! Annoying. Feel better!

It's rubbish, Amandaj001 isn't it! Hope you're better soon too!

I had to take antibiotics twice during my sway. Last time was on the BFP cycle before ovulation. I was also concerned about it but Atomic said she thinks it doesn't sway blue. So I definitely wouldn't postpone attempting. And start doing cardio again when you are feeling well.

Congratulations, 2xblue!

I have never seen any even remotely convincing evidence that they sway blue. And since we know that probiotics sway blue, I'd not be surprised if they even sway pink (and we believe being sick may sway pink as well)

I think you are fine to TTC next month. I hope you feel better soon!

[maidentomother]

I agree it makes sense that ABs could potentially sway pink if anything.

I had to take antbiotics in the month I conceived our girl. Had to take them on the beginnig of the cycle for 5 days. And I am pretty sure that being so sick (first throat infection, then a bad cold afterwards) swayed pink for me :-)

[honeybee37]

Well I am def sick... Been feeling dreadful for over a week - it has put paid to the cardio but I'm hoping my body fighting an infection will sway pink in itself. Not been so ill in years ��

Feel better soon, honeybee
