The LAZY Swayers

[atomic sagebrush]

So if I make an attempt at + opk when should I take Zyrtec? I plan on dtd that evening. I don't want to take it too close and blow my shot.

Take it 6 hours before your attempt or even a bit longer (10-12 hours). The Zyrtec is weird in that it takes a good 6 hours to really get rolling and then works for 24 hours after that. Don't take anything after pos OPK day.

Btw, how are you feeling? I see you have less than 3 weeks left. You and your family must be so excited. Great time of year to have a baby.

Oh thanks! I feel pretty good, things are weird around here right now because my FIL is really sick and my son left yesterday to move in with them and help so lots of activity going on and also I'm sad because my son isn't going to be here! So my attention was kind of divided for a couple weeks here and I really ahve to buckle down and finish getting ready for this baby!!

I have been taking Loratidine/Claritin everyday of the cycle because I do have allergies so killing the bird with one stone. How many days before O should I stop this? I actually think my OPK will turn positive real soon and having O pains. I definitely notice less EWCM at this point in my cycle than usual, but I still have some that I notice when wiping.

Absolutely! But just be aware that an attempt 48 hours after OPK has very low odds of success and you should stop any antihistamine, vitex BEFORE O - don't keep taking it because you're going to have another attempt, you will wreck your first attempt (with good odds of pg) for an attempt that has very low chances.

Well, if you're used to the antihistamine and you need them to get along, you have more leeway to continue them post-O than other people do, that is as long as you attempt before O and allow the sperm plenty of time to get to the egg. It you're going to attempt after O, it is best to take at least 1-2 days off. I'd stop them at pos. OPK and resume them as far afterwards as you can - if you can make it 3 days, ok 5 even better, 7-10 is best because most eggs will be implanted by then.

I can't stick to the diet :/ I suck at it. I love broccli and mashed potatoes and salsa...haha. I think the only thing good I can do to sway girl is CL, reducing my red meat intake, I don't add salt to any of my meals anymore. Oh and of course rephresh. Still waiting to O. Looks like it will be another 5 or 6 days.

Christa, you can have broccoli, potatoes, and salsa on the LE Diet. I ate potatoes 4 times a week!!

[bigchrista]

Really!?! Oh nice! So I don't have to feel guilty anymore. Lol

I don't think you can do a lazy sway. All you can do is your best.

I think I screwd up :/ just a blarring pos on an opk. I'm a bit early. We bd last night this morning I put in a full applicator. Of rephresh. Thinking I was getting things ready for ovulation in 4 or 5 days. Oh well. Only time will tell.

[atomic sagebrush]

Well, if you DTD last night and put in RepHresh this morning, any sperm was long gone by this morning anyway. And that's plenty of time if you want to attempt tonight! REally, it's perfect.
