Can I take anything for allergies while doing stim meds? I am on day 7 of my ivf cycle. Today I am sneezing up a storm and have a sinus headache. Can I take anything and what? Thanks!

    I am on Zyrtec. I had informed my RE and the night before my 3 procedures and the morning of (Dilapan, ER, & ET- yes I was under for that, too) they had me take Visteril.
    Let your RE know, and see what he/she recommends.

    Benedryl is probably the most benign drug around. I have to take it daily and my RE has never had an issue with it. But if you have to take something daily clear it with your RE first because all of them are so different. :)

    My RE said that Claratin is fine :) I figure the allergy meds would be less harmful than getting a sinus infection, which happens every time I miss taking my allergy meds for more than a day at a time during allergy season.
