Zyrtec - TTC Girl - Tamara?

Hi, I am noticing more ladies are using Zyrtec, not Sudafed to dry up CM. I realise Sudafed is difficult to buy in most countries now, and wondering if Zyrtec is a reliable medicine for TTC Girl? I can't see any info from Tamara in FAQ or the TTC e-book etc?? I am hoping it is because you get treated like a criminal when you ask for Sudafed in New Zealand! Also is there only one type of Zyrtec on the market? And liquid or tablets? Thanks for your help. See link: https://www.netpharmacy.co.nz/catalogsearch/result/?q=Zyrtec

Sedated is used for colds I am not sure about what hr talking about. Weird in Australia they treat bad for wanting it

Sudafed - main ingredient is psudoefedrine, which is used illegally to make methamphetamine for the illegal drug market. Therefore in NZ you need to either get it by prescription or sign for it at a pharmacy (and be treated like a crim)..

Interesting.

I went got put through the third degree to buy sudafed from my local pharmacy where I have known the guy for years. He took my license and checked the computer before he reluctantly sold to me. I think I'll buy Zyrtec next time.

It's bizarre - it may as well be a prescription only product, the hoops you have to jump through to get it!

sudafed (not pe)  is recomened because it is safe in pg, so it is safe for ttc.  I'm not sure if zyrtec is safe.  if it is then it would work at well

Ok : ) I have also noticed that in the US/EU there is 'ZYRTEC D' which is unavailable in New Zealand. This product contains psudoefedrine and Cetrizine. But the product that is available in New Zealand is just ZYRTEC which only contains Cetrizine.. Hope this is ok for pink sway? Thanks for your help X

I took zyrtec with my last pregnancy and he was still a boy.  I actually had a really good sway with him too.  I don't know if I would recommend it.

That's interesting, thank you. And so sorry for your recent loss, must be a tough time for you now. X

Last week my Asthma consultant told me Zyrtec is not safe when planning a pregnancy, so please be careful girls.

Thank you.  It's been really hard.  There was nothing wrong with him either.  The pathology report came back completely normal.  I guess we'll never know why he died.  I stopped taking the zyrtec once I knew I Oed.  I never took it beyond.  I have to take it for my horrid allergies in general so it wasn't so much of a plan for a sway.  i need that stuff and take 1 everyday....but I still produced another boy on it.  I did other things to sway too.  I guess I'm really surprised he was a boy.  My dd was conceived on much less.  Just a cut off with her.  Actually I think it was just luck or something.  I have conceived 4 boys and 1 girl.  I don't know the gender of the other losses.  I would guess they were boys as I swaying hard with them too...

It is a class B drug and no evidence it is harmful during pregnancy (based on testing on pregnant animals).  However, like any drug, you should consult with your doctor before taking it.  I think I read that it doesn't raise your ph as much as some of the other antihistamines so if you are trying to keep ph low ttc a girl that makes it appealing, plus you don't need to sign for it and can just buy it over the counter unlike Sudafed (see below)

Sudafed -- As of 9/30/06 – a new sudafed law took into effect.  Every single product containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) has to be either in a locked cabinet or behind the counter. Also all sales of PSE containing products need to be logged in a book with a drivers license number, address, reason for taking it and signature. This is to “Curb the production of Methamphetamine”. The daily limit is 3.6 grams of sudafed and the monthly limit is 9 grams of sudafed.

You have had a tough year definitely : ( I really hope things improve for you. Sounds like you have a lovely big family to keep you busy! I guess we will never really know how much of swaying is luck or? But have to give it a shot.. Allergies are such a pain! I have an on going sinus problem which I am trying to ignore, as I don't want to take any medication that will impair a sway or be dangerous to pregnancy.. Ignoring it is not working out very well though! Wishing you all the best for the future, hope it's a very happy one X

That's interesting. I think I am getting confused about antihistamines generally. I thought that they did lower PH, and steroids raise PH. Not sure where I read that now, so could be very wrong..
