    EWCM, antihistamine & rephresh

    I have always had a problem with lack of EWCM, in fact ive hardly ever seen it! I am ttc a girl, would you suggest to use an antihistamine and rephresh or flag it? I am taking vitex and aspirin. For DS1 we used pressed and I'm concerned if I use antihistamine and or rephresh it might make it to hard to conceive at all. Thanks for your help.

    I don't use Rephresh so someone else will have to chime in on that. For antihistamines, don't bother if you don't observe any EWCM, or even if there is a little bit of EWCM. The only point of antihistamines is to dry up EWCM but you don't want to dry it ALL up or you won't conceive at all.

    Most lubes are sway neutral but they do tend to block sperm, so in that way they *may* sway pink (though it's unproven). Preseed definitely sways blue though, so don't use Preseed. KY sensitive is a good one for pink swayers if you need lube.

    I agree! I would still use the rephresh but nix the antihistamine if you never see any watery or ewcm.
