    info on antihistamines

    just found this so thought i would share.x
    Loratadine and Fertility

    apparently loratadine improves sperm quality for men,and as we already know decreases chances of getting pregnant when women take it

    Loratadine is claratin, not Zyrtec which is traditionally used in sways. Claritin does absolutely nothing for my CM but Zyrtec makes me quite dry.

    If you're using antihistamines to sway make sure you buy Zyrtec (cetirizine) or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) NOT Claritin/loratadine!!!

    The reason for that is because some men have cruddy sperm due to autoimmune disorders and for THEM it might help because antihistamines suppress the immune system and allow their bodies to make healthy sperm. It is NOT for the average guy at all whatsoever - most men do not have fertility issues involving their own immune systems attacking their sperm

    Claritin should work (if it works for you, that is) I just never have found it to do diddly squat for my allergies so I don't think it works very well.

    I have 10mg of Loratadine daily and have done for years so I don't know if it dries me up or not as I can't remember what my cm was like before. I noticed around ovulation its not creamy so maybe they're not working as well as they should. Do u think it would maybe be ok to take benadryl the day of attempt instead of my usual loratadin?

    Well hoping DH's daily Claritin-D doesn't increase his fertility and sway blue! He's been taking it for years now! Hopefully the LR and OLE will counteract any of that!

    I think if you've taken it a long time it may get less effective. not sure.

    It's fine to switch to benadryl for a day

    Unless he has issues with male infertility that has been investigated and found to be related to autoimmune disease, this has nothing to do with him.
