TTC with a cold?

in TTC After a Loss

Good morning ladies,

My husband and I are both coming down with a cold. :( Do any of you know if a cold will affect his little swimmers, or my fertility at all? Will cold medicine do anything? I should be O'ing in the next few days, so I was a little concerned.

Hope all of you are having a wonderful day so far. Thanks!

~Melanie

    Nope you should both be fine. The only thing I would watch for is taking a med. that may dry you up (thus decreasing CM), like Sudafed or Benedryl...

    We've had the same issue this month.  I have been taking Mucinex which has helped and is supposed to be good for EWCM anyway!  I wouldn't worry about the swimmers but I'd try to stop the cold meds once you've O'd.

    Nope unless he was sick 72 days ago (that's how long it takes for his swimmers to mature).  You just keep on takin that mucinex and you guys will be fine!
