Hi atomic or anyone who has insight!

We are wanting to try to conceive a boy starting to try in August about 2 weeks from now.
My seasonal allergies/hay fever started today.

I am wondering how bad taking medication is and will it sway girl. Is there a medication that is better or can I use it up till we start trying or try bare with the runny nose wattery eyes.

I have tried before:

Also Reactine or Claritin

But I'm willing to try something better if there is or not take anything if its a deal breaker :)

Than you so much in advance!

I’m currently swaying pink but just figured I would chime in—

I have to take Allegra (fexofenadine) 180mg once daily, year round. I have been doing so since my late teens.

I also have two boys. [emoji4] And I also always have plenty (usually copious amounts lol) of EWCM, even with taking the Allegra daily.

Hope that helps!

We used to think these swayed pink, but got the same number of boys and girls with them. Go ahead and use them!!

Yes, I have taken the Allegra daily since my teens including through both of my pregnancies [emoji4] it’s a pregnancy category C in the US. I think some of the other allergy meds are class A or B. It’s something you can discuss with your provider though!

Since Allegra is the only one that works for me, the benefit outweighed the risk — if I didn’t take the Allegra or used a different med, I would have constant postnasal drip which would then trigger my asthma and I would be in a constant cycle of using my inhaler. My midwife decided that it made more sense to keep up the Allegra use rather than me ending up using an inhaler multiple times a day.

If one of the other allergy meds that’s not category C works for you then even better! But either way when you end up pregnant I would def discuss with your provider [emoji4]

I took zyrtec with my younger three and some other old school one I don't even remember the name of...maybe chlortrimeton? But they have newer better ones now and some are Class A/B

I can't manage without allergy meds sometimes, even when pregnant!
