Does anybody know if allergy medicine can affect your CM ? This month I had less than usual and I think it might have something to do with me starting up my allergy medicine. I could of sworn I heard it someplace, and wanted to know if anybody else heard anything regarding this. Thanks for your help.

What allergy meds are safe while PG?
The info I found on Flonase says that in pregnancy, it's a Class C drug.
You hit on something that I have been trying to figure out....last cycle, I was confused by why I didn't seem to have very much CM. I was taking Claritin D on and off the week before and of O. I didn't get preggo last cycle and we baby danced at the right time. I was focusing on the CM issue and not having enough of it, but didn't know why.
I now think that the Claritin D had something to do with it. And it's not like I took it daily. maybe 3 days outta each week. Gosh I took one today and I'm on CD 6. I'm stopping immediately. If I only take the stuff a few times a week...then the way I see it, is that I can do without completely. I'll just take some tylenol for the sinus pain. Thanks again for your post. Marcy
