For people that want to record what they are eating (to help be strict!)

I took both Zyrtec and Benedryl as O approached, and though it might have made the EWCM driy of very, very slightly...it didn't really make a huge difference. I say try benedryl and see what happens. Take it only at night, though - it knocks you out! We ended up BDing 6 nights in a row, and by the end we were both so tired of the nightly routine and ready for a break!

I was thinking along the lines of Zyrtec in the morning and Benadryl at night too. What's the ingredient in Benadryl? I noticed there was a one a day tablet which was made of the same stuff as Zyrtec and some other stuff which was different - began with an L I think.

Mine has Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride. Just make sure you buy the one ingredient kind - there are others with added ingredients for clogged sinuses, etc. Are you thinking Loratadine? I think that's another common antihistamine ingredient.

It's actually acrivastine - doesn't begin with an L at all! I'll start a separate post as it seems to be different here.

I don't think I've ever even heard of that one! Hopefully Atomic or someone else can help you!

I would not give that a second's worry or thought. If it is true, it's because ~some~ of the people who O late are Oing late for a specific reason (their hormones are screwed up due to health problems that then make them more likely to miscarry.)

People O late all the time for many reasons and most of them go onto have perfectly normal pregnancy.

You can take both of them together, that is fine. Take a Zyrtec once a day and then Benadryl at night.

Benedryl = diphenhydramine
Zyrtec = cetirizine

Other antihistamines are fine, I just don't find that they work as well for me.

Thank you! That is a relief! Does your temp only go up if you ov, if you don't will it just stay the same? Thanks!

Thanks ladies, I bought some benadyrl today. I have now run out of refresh as did not expect to go on this long!!!! Just have to go ahead without it as I can't get it from any shops -trying to remain calm!!!

Acrivastine is the name Benedryl goes by in the UK. It is also fine to take.
