Sorry, if this is a stupid question, I'm new here. DH and I will be trying to sway for a boy soon. I have severe, and I do mean severe allergies, and have been taking prescription allergy medicine since I was 9 yrs old, and am currently 25. I cannot function without my allergy meds, and I'm a lawyer often in court so I would otherwise just sneeze and be congested the entire time! I believe this is why I have absolutely no CM to speak of? Am I ruining all chances of swaying blue?

Not a stupid question at all!!
We can do some things that will help make up for it. You need those meds to function so you can't just stop them, we have to work around it.
Yes, it's prob. why you have no CM. But that's ok - if you add in some Robitussin/Mucinex, it can help and even if you were just able to cut back a little bit, that may help as well.!!! Questions??

It looks like my post didn't go through. I'm currently on CD 9. Should I start taking mucinex today through CD 14 or so just to see if it produces some CM? We're not currently trying, but I'd love to see if this will help me get some cm!

I got the generic plain ole mucinex, and have taken 400mg twice a day, and have tried to increase my water intake. Today is my second full day taking it, and I've notice a drop of cm. Hopefully, it picks up! I'm on CD 10.
