Allergy meds while TTC

Allergy meds while TTC

Did anyone here take allergy meds while TTC? I've been TTC for some time now with no luck. I was wondering if my allergy meds are interfering with my body's ability to conceive. I was on allegra, now on zyrtec.

When I told my gyno I was ttc, she told me that allegra was safe during pregnancy but I never thought of asking her if it would affect my ability to conceive.

So did anyone here get pregnant while taking allergy meds or heard anything about the combination?

TIA

Re: Allergy meds while TTC

I had taken zyrtec, allegra, claritin...all of them periodically while TTC. Then, since none of them worked, I went on Veramyst Nasal Spray which was amazing. I got pregnant while I was on that and my doc switched me to a different spray after we found out. She said there aren't many sprays that are tested with pregnant women so I went on the one of the only ones that were.

There was never any concern though that any allergy meds would affect getting pregnant or really needed to be stopped while pregnant.

I've always been on singulair and zyrtec and never had a problem getting pregnant.

I was on Zyrtec while pregnant with DS 2 and Claritin with DS 1. I had a hard time getting pregnant with DS 1 but, it was related to poor ovulation.
