TTC Girl and Fertility Doc advice

[atomic sagebrush]

I had a full 5 day period, seemed totally normal, in fact a bit heavier than normal, with cramps, and I was pg the whole entire time and had a healthy normal 8 lb baby 9 months later!!!! Please take another pg test before starting the Clomid - better safe than sorry and you may be surprised by a pos test

Thanks, I will. I am calling doc in am too. I did take one the day after the crazy faint pos and I couldn't see anything.

I'd still take one more in case your urine was just less concentrated the second day - it would be unlikely to get another false neg. at this point.

Hey Atomic,

I have had a bad cold/cough/sore throat the past few days. I have only been sucking on cough drops and taking ibuprofen since I know cough meds sway blue. Are there any herbal teas I can have that would not affect my sway? Just trying to figure something out to feel better.

P.S. I did take another preg test before popping the clomid yesterday, it was a bfn.

I have had a cold and have been drinking hot water with lemon and honey when I have really needed a hot drink. I have also had the odd cup of dandilion tea and the odd cup of camomile/honey tea.

I have stayed away from pep tea since I came off BCP in January although the odd cup of that would probably be fine.

Happy to be corrected on all of this by someone wiser

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Stephk! Good idea about the hot water with lemon and honey. I did have just one cup a day of the peppermint tea with some honey (I'm staying away from it now b/c of the clomid). This cold just won't go away, I might take sudafed for a couple days with hopes it won't hurt me too bad with the clomid since I am only CD 5 right now. The sinus pressure is just soo bad.

Is it stuffiness?? Would guanefesin help? The Sudafed is ok if you really have to, I don't like it because I don't think it's safe enough but one is prob. ok

I think any herb tea in moderation (as in, 1 cup) would be ok. I would stay away from any of the hormonal ones (pep tea, rasp. leaf tea, green tea) and while I know there are people out there who did use peppermint when on Clomid I don't recommend that. If it's an herb tea blend it is prob not enough mint to do anything. I also second the honey suggestion
