    Question Do I have to stop my allergy meds to sway for a boy?

    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.

    Atomic- would Preseed also help her? At least just during their attempt(s)??
    Proud Mom to my gorgeous 2008, and 2010. Lights of my life!!

    Pretesting "normal". FSH 7.5

    Cycle 1: HRC Feb 10 2012
    Started off slow on 225 Gonal F, 1 Meno; increased to 300 Gonal F and over responded. 27 eggs received, 19 mature, 15 fert, only 8 to GSN, all terrible quality- only one normal XY. NT. Boo.

    Cycle 2: HRC May 2012
    Took DHEA (only 25-50 mg/day), royal jelly, bee propolis, CoQ10. Antagonist cycle with growth hormone. Started off with 300 Gonal-F and quickly moved down to 150 Gonal-F and rode it out. 43 eggs, 35 mature, 30 fert, 9 to Day 5 GSN, 1 normal XY and two normal XX. Froze all.
    July 2012 - FET at HRC, transferred 1 XX expanding blast. ???

    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!

    Yes, I'd absolutely give it a go and see what happens. YOu want the kind with just guanefesin as active ingredient.

    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.
