Mucinex d and zrytec
How to be more chill about this process?
2024.05.26 18:26 4R1ANNA How to be more chill about this process?
To start, I'm an anxious type A person so the idea that I could "go with the flow" was likely a pipe dream. I regret going straight from actively preventing to actively trying, I never even had a chance to have the "if it happens it happens" experience and now I'm stressed.
Cycle 1: OPKs, Clear Blue advance ovulation kit, BD every other day
Cycle 2: OPKs, Clear Blue Advanced Monitor, tempdrop, pre-seed, BD as much as possible in fertile window
Cycle 3: OPKs, CBAD Monitor, tempdrop, Coq-10, vitamin D (in addition to prenatals this whole time), pre-seed, Mucinex, trying to follow SMEP for BD
Cycle 4: all of the above plus letrozole day 3-7 for concern for low egg quality given low post O temps, tried myo-inositol which I think delayed ovulation and I'm now 7dpo when I thought I was 15dpo and missed the window of my true LH surge š
I bought an Inito for my next cycle so I don't miss a false/true LH surge again, but this process is starting to feel like too much. It's becoming all consuming at this point. I know many people have tried for much longer and I'm still early in the range of normal for a healthy couple but this is taking a toll on my mental health. Where can I trim some fat here in this process? Do I just need to change my mindset? If this is going to take several more months idk if I can handle "trying so hard" and "failing" again and again. I want to do less but does that mean it will take longer or is it all just luck? At the rate I'm going I'm going to have a daily 12 step conception routine š¤¦āāļø

2024.05.23 23:10 LittleMissKicks Miracle first pregnancy ended with 6 week miscarriage. Partner has low sperm count, motility, and poor morphology
Found out I was pregnant around 4.3 weeks. Was shocked and excited for the pregnancy as we hadnāt been trying and our timeline to TTC was to start in August. Partner mentioned then he was a bit surprised as he did an at home semen analysis a few years ago and had poor results. Curious, we asked the OB to order a semen analysis when I went to my confirmation of pregnancy appointment. At the appointment we saw a little gestational sack at 4.5 weeks, hcg was 530, progesterone 18, all signs pointed to this was working even though we were so early!
Partner got his semen analysis back with very low concentration 5 million/ml, 6% motility, 720k total motile, forward too low to even measure, morphology 2%. Needless to say we were amazed I even got pregnant and even more excited by the pregnancy. Partner and I had been traveling all month for work when we conceived and wound up with terrible food poisoning 3x between us that month so we only had sex once (highly unusual for us) and I apparently ovulated early as I track my cycle and was in a non fertile window according to my calendar. The pregnancy seemed like a miracle moonshot!
Went back for my hcg at 48h and it was 570. Doctor chalked it up to the fact we were traveling and used a different lab and told us to re test in another 48h. Retest came back at 470 so doctor told us to go to the ER to get an ultrasound to check for ectopic due to the roughly stagnating numbers. Returned at 6 weeks to find hcg at 225 and the pregnancy had moved to bottom of my uterus so I was miscarrying.
The whole process has been exhausting even though itās been about as easy as a miscarriage can be. Iām scared with his counts we had a super lucky one off and wonāt get pregnant again or if we do get pregnant, we will have continuous miscarriages. Weāve now gotten rid of the August timeline and are actively TTC now given his counts as Iām 34. Doctors office called first thing Monday after getting his results with a referral to the fertility center š
At least I miscarried quickly and it seems my hcg is dropping fast so we can start trying soon. He started on supplements for Vitamin B12, B6, Zinc, vitamin D, folate, CoQ10 400mg, Omega 3, lycopene, DHA and we are both taking 600mg Mucinex 2x a day. Weāre going to use the every other day sperm meets egg schedule ramping up to every day the day before, of, and after ovulation, and Iām going to use a cervical cap after to keep as many of his guys as we can up there longer. We also have an appointment to the fertility center scheduled for next week. I feel like weāre going nuclear, but I want to try everything possible to see if we can conceive again soon now that we know we might have a complicated road.

2024.05.22 20:41 tisagifttobesimple Mucinex D?
Hi all,
I have a nasty upper respiratory infection and the urgent care Dr. precribed me a cough medicine and told me to take Mucinex D. Well Iām slightly panicking because I took the Mucinex and then saw online that it can cause manic episodes.
Iām on Abilify and Trileptal. Am I okay?

2024.05.22 20:22 urbandit Feeling so discouraged
After 7 cycles of trying, Iām back at CD1. I just turned 31. Iām tracking all the things I can, LH and BBT. Weāre probably not BD as often as we should be but Iām trying not to take the fun out of it. We use preseed. I havenāt tried taking mucinex yet and maybe I will but Iām feeling hopeless. Itās becoming hard to feel excited for my friends who are announcing pregnancies. I donāt really feel like my partner is in it like I am and I donāt think heāll understand how Iām feeling. Iām looking into possibly getting an appointment for some fertility testing for me and him if heāll go for it. Iād love to hear any success stories or just commiserate with you guys. Iāve desperately wanted this for so long itās just hard to walk through especially feeling alone in it. Sending baby dust. āØā¤ļø

2024.05.17 23:33 why-am-I-awake-still I need someone to tell me it gets better
I had tinnitus when I was 14 following a concert. Lasted a week. After that, it became my biggest fear and I never went to another concert again, and I purposely avoided loud noises so Iād never hear that sound again.
Monday it started. Lasted a few hours and stopped. Tuesday I flipped on my left side in bed and it started immediately. It went away a few hours later. Wednesday, flipped over, happened again. This time I was extremely dizzy and experienced vertigo. It passed.
Last night, I wake up and itās piercing. Unbearable. I go to ER because I donāt know what to do.
Today I saw my doctor. He tells me itās likely pressure in the middle ear due to allergies. Prescribed oral and nasal steroids, mucinex and earwax softening drops (one ear is bad, the other is fine).
Itās been ringing non-stop for a full day now and Iām terrified itāll never stop. It switches from ear to ear, varies in intensity and certain head positions make it worse or a fraction softer.
Iām not a lucky person. Bad things happen to me. I want to hope so bad this is just an allergy thing and it will get better, but what if it doesnāt?
I canāt live with this sound constantly in my head. I just need someone to give me any semblance of hope.

2024.05.16 05:26 Suspicious-Tie-6602 Iāve had the urge do OD and canāt stop thinking about it at least once a day (I want to stop it before I get to hs)
My first time oding was from taking 4 Mucinex, I said it was on accident because I āmisheardā my mom and we were at the hospital where a nurse was asking me the question so I didnāt want to tell the truth wouldnāt even tell my mom(I was sick and had a lot of mucus) but I impulsively did research online to see how much pills would make me od and took that exact amount... It was probably a bad idea because I was at school and the ambulance came because I was stuck to the ground and couldnāt open my eyes.
After that experience I didnāt take it for like 2 weeks. But intrusive thoughts won and I started taking it every other day, increasing the dose because it got weaker the more I took it at the same amount.
Once I got to the point of taking 6 (i always did it before school and the oding would make me feel ālighterā in a sense and way more carefree) the 6 was probably the last time I took it in 2023, because I threw up horribly in the schools bathroom and felt horrible after. I didnāt want to go to the nurses even when my friends told me to because I was scared theyād find out what I did.
And Iām now Iām back, I donāt know why. I donāt necessarily want to die, like I donāt have a reason to. I just want to. I took it every Wednesday two weeks ago for three weeks. The last time I took it I couldnāt remember the amount I took, it was either between 7-9 bc my body rejected 1 or 2 before I could ingest it bc it would force me to like it out before I could swallow. I also puked that time but had enough consciences to go to the bathroom(I was at home). This last time was the most hardest time I had od and yet I still feel the need to do it, even more this time. I want to find a way to stop but oding seems like the only way I can escape my actual conscience and be comfortable around ppl.
I want to stop, I keep telling myself that. But in the back of my mind, thereās something telling me thatās not how I actually feel. I willingly oded and will willingly do it again, I just need something to escape, I really donāt know.

2024.05.14 21:40 Parfait_Live Fluid in ear, help please!
Hi there! I have fluid in my ear, it started several months ago and I feel like it's only gotten worse. I feel like I am popping my ears all the time from all the pressure build up.
I've tried allergy meds, prescribed mucinex D, ear drops, and nothing is working.
It's become so bad that I don't like going to places with a lot of background noise because I can feel the vibration of the fluid. Or from me talking sometimes from the same reason. I can't hear anyone else when I'm talking because of the muffled sounds and vibration.
I've thought about trying to see an ENT, but wanted to see if anyone had other suggestions before going down that route. Thanks in advanced!!

2024.05.14 17:33 Comfortable_Tiger674 I will never understand the logicā¦
They want us to lock up practically everything now. Almost all the allergy meds, the rogaine, the teeth whitening kits, mucinex. Christ, in my old store, we had to spider wrap the sex toys and enhancement pills. But when we try to order boxes so we can actually keep more than one or two products on the shelf they just will not send them (Iāve been ordering #20s for Flonase for three weeks now).
And then! Then theyāll turn around and scream about the copious amounts of overstock we have. Gee, I dunno, youāve sent us six of the same exact Zyrtec and Benadryl side panels (full) as well as a floor stand (full). My store only has twenty of the size alpha boxes that the Zyrtec fits in. Not to mention, the fact that we had to limit the amount on the shelves so they could be locked up. Why do you think my overstock cart is crammed full of Zyrtec???
Itās Vitamin D part two: electric boogaloo in my store. Either you want the stuff locked up or you want the stuff on the shelf. Canāt have it both ways.

2024.05.14 01:24 HuffPuff87 Frustrated, out of options and can't see a specialist for 2 months.
Apologies for the long post but I'm pretty much over medical personnel at the moment and I'm frustrated. I've had a severe cough that began in December. I've had it at least once a month since then. By severe I mean I have random coughing fits that result in me either urinating on myself or vomiting on myself. Lately it's been both. Seems to be brought on by the slightest cold. I have a daughter in daycare so while illness is not uncommon, this is a bit extreme. It's normally coupled with a sinus infection.
I went to urgent care in December and was told to ride it out and given an updated inhaler script. I eventually got better.
It came back in February and to urgent care I went again. My primary has retired and I didn't have another lined up so Urgent Care seemed an ok choic. Left with a script for promethazine. Nearly finished the bottle before I got better.
It came back in March to which I called my doctor's office and got the first available doctor for a consult since I knew urgent care wasn't gonna do anything for me. We spoke over the phone and he said I likey had pertussis so he prescribed a steroid and antibiotic. Worked within a day. I was much better instantly so I finished the round and figured we were good to go.
April was a let down as the cough returned. I quickly emailed the doctor and requested the same treatment. I had refills for the steroid so I just refilled but I needed him to prescribe the antibiotic. He refused. He said he can't prescribe it when the symptoms haven't been present that long. Uhm, what do you mean?! You knew my history already? He repeatedly told me there was nothing we could do, that I could try the steroid alone but it probably wouldn't do anything. I told him I refused to believe that there was nothing we could do and there had to be something, especially considering the antibiotic worked so quickly last time. He REFUSED to assist further and suggested if my symptoms were that bad to go to the ER for a chest X-ray. Fine.
Went to the ER and got a chest X-ray. Was there for literally 1.5 hours and walked away with a $2500 bill, a clear X-ray and a script for Tessalon Perles, a recommendation for Mucinex D, and oh look, the SAME ANTIBIOTICS I ASKED THE PRIMARY FOR, WHO SAID HE COULDN'T GIVE THEM TO ME. They knew my script history and had zero problem giving me the antibiotic. The ER doctor even laughed when I told him the primary said I had pertussis. His diagnosis- bronchitis. Told me to follow up with said doctor. No thank you.
The cocktail of antibiotics, Mucinex D and Tessalon Perles seemed to do the trick. For a while.
It's now May and the cough is back full force and more violent than ever. But instead of multiple coughing fits throughout the day, I get a few really violent ones with both vomiting and peeing. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
I called a pulmonologist today to get an appointment. I figured I'd start there. When the medical assistant asked me why I'm seeing the doctor, I ran down a TLDR of the above and was so very delighted to hear her response of, āSo a cough?ā Yeah girl. Put down a cough. I corrected her- āA severe cough.ā I doubt she added the adjective. The next available isn't for 2 months.
So here I sit, being asked to ride it out and ingesting a cocktail of Mucinex D and ibuprofen with a little snack of Tessalon Perles during bed time. I'm almost positive this is gonna cause some long term repercussions but I have a 1 year old, a husband and a job to think of today. I'm still blown away that when I brought this up to the primary, that he's telling me there nothing he can do when I'm telling him I get random coughing fits in the car while driving my toddler around, I get a āSorry. Try the ER.ā
As you can probably tell, I'm at a loss on what to do. When I think my cocktail is working, I'm reminded it's not. Any suggestions other than, see a pulmonologist, would be greatly appreciated. Any reassurance that the primary isn't a complete moron, also appreciated. I would hate to think that a doctor would be that careless for no reason.
TLDR: Intermittent (monthly) sever cough since December, accompanied by sinusitis, vomiting and incontinence. Antibiotics helps but Dr. won't prescribe more than one round. Currently taking Mucinex D, 400 ibuprofen and Tessalon Perles at night for sleep. Appt with pulmonologist in 2 months but what to do until then?
Thanks for reading.

2024.05.11 06:40 Broad-Ad1033 Antihistamine help
Are there any antihistamines that donāt cause drowsiness!? I became a zombie on Allegra, Claritin, and Zyrtec - even the D versions. Benadryl puts me out for 2 days. Azelastine nose spray is also exhausting.
I use Cromolyn Nose Spray, Mucinex & Flonase. I take Pepcid at night sometimes.
Whatās left? Prescription Clarinex? Xyzal and Singulair? Are they any better?
Are there other options? I follow a low histamine diet.

2024.05.10 20:33 LilSunshine__ Saw fertility specialist, still looking for 2nd opinion.
Hi all!
My husband and I are currently on cycle 9 of trying to conceive. We are both 28, no known health issues, no previous pregnancies.
My husband : doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, is taking Bird and Be prenatal vitamins. We did a Yo at home sperm kit and his scores are good and arecontinuously improving every time we test (we did tests month 1, 3 and 6 of TTC). I know these at home sperm tests aren't definitive but I'm confident that he has sperm in there. Our first score was a 2/9, then 4/9 then 6/9 for the Yo test.
Myself: I have 27 to 30 day cycles, have a peak LH test every month on CD16 or CD17 with a confirmed temp rise 1-2 days later. I'm taking Bird & Be prenatals plus vitamin B, B6 and D. I don't smoke or drink.
My concerns- 1) I have little to no cervical mucous and 2) I start to spot from 3 days before period onwards. I'm worried about low progesterone.
I had a hormone panel drawn and my estrogen was low on CD5 (even low for follicular range) and normal on CD21. I likely ovulated CD18 this cycle.
We met with a fertility expert yesterday and he isn't concerned about any of it- he said my progesterone was normal on CD21, which confirms that I did in fact ovulate. I would have liked to see what it is a bit later on in my cycle but they told me to go on CD21 regardless of my predicted ovulation day. I would have just liked to see if it's dropping close to my period and perhaps this is causing my spotting from 9DPO onwards.
He totally brushed everything off I was concerned about. He says he doesn't know why I'm not getting pregnant. My husband is going for an official SA at the end of the month, I'm having an ultrasound done for uterine shape and follicle count, then meeting with the expert again mid-June.
I live in Northern Ontario and we don't have an RE, just an OBGYN that specializes in fertility. If I wanted an RE referral it would have to be virtual or out of town (the closest one to me is a 16 hour drive away lol).
Should I be concerned about my lack of cervical mucous and spotting at the end of my cycle? Is this something to seek further assistance with?
I just feel down in the dumps. I don't want to wait months and months before I decide to have a virtual consult with an actual RE and have them say yes, this is abnormal. But I also don't want to overreact and feel like a dumb dumb. Lol.
Am I overreacting? Or is spotting and low estrogen and lack of cervical mucous TRULY not something to worry about?
Thanks for reading ā¤ļø
ETA: have tried seed cycling and Mucinex for 6 cycles with no changes!

2024.05.10 16:37 bigsourpatchkids What is your show day routine?
Myself (45/M), on show days I start warming up the voice first thing in the morning - lip trills, low and slow at first, then extending to the upper ranges here and there as the day progresses. I try to pound water most of the day (also super important for vocal recovery days). If I have any congestion, in order to have control of my head voice, I will take a maximum strength Mucinex D about 4-to-6 hours before showtime (actually I think of it more like 8-to-10 hours before the END of a show). I can't drink coffee anymore near showtime, because these days it tightens up my vocal cords so much as to affect my singing.
I like to show up for the gig early to start getting psyched and to feel the vibe of the room/crowd. Usually just shoot the shit with the bar staff, but sometimes I'll engage with some folks in the crowd. I am pretty low-key before getting on stage, so that's really more the exception than the rule! Most of my gigs allow drinking, so I will have a cocktail or a beer to cool the nerves beforehand, too.
After the show, I cool down the voice, again with low and slow lip trills for as long as I can. The more time you can spend cooling down the voice, the better it will be, come tomorrow. Don't skip cool-down!
I used to be able to just waltz in and go, but as I get older, I have needed to become more cognizant of my voice well in advance of showtime (and afterwards!).

2024.05.09 21:14 SodaPop788 Sinus headache medications
34 Female here
Hey everyone,
I take 10mg of Buspar 3x daily for anxiety along with 150mg of Zoloft daily for depression. Lately I have been having a lot of sinus pain and I have heard a variety of things regarding sinus medications. My psychiatrist says to absolutely not take things like sudafed or things with a decongestant, especially those beginning with the letters P and D. My PCP says that sudafed is fine and she can't find any interactions that would be dangerous. Although I know serotonin syndrome can be rare one time before I knew about the interactions I took some mucinex sinus and it made me feel very sick. Is there anything that I can take to help with sinus pressure, pain, and congestion? My psychiatrist and pcp are telling me different things.

2024.05.09 04:48 justanon011 should i go to er/urgent care/clinic?
iāve been feeling sick since sunday, the cough has been getting worse but since itās only been a few days maybe itās not a big deal.. the cough is pretty dry, and itās irritating my throat and chest. phlegm only comes out rarely and in small amounts if anything.
my sister got sick last week and when she went to the clinic i guess they tested her for strep, covid, and flu which all came back negative. assuming i got sick from her, but what could it be. i thought maybe it could still be covid just a different strain and maybe the emergency room or urgent care is better equipped than our clinic to see what the problem is? someone at work came back after a week long absence and said she had a lung infection, could that be going around?
starting yesterday early afternoon, i would experience a sharp pain in my left side whenever i tried to inhale so i could only breathe shallowly until a few minutes ago today. so iād say it lasted about 24 hours. iāve gotten that pain before in my side when inhaling but it usually goes away after a few minutes. i was gonna go to urgent care anyways until that pain subsided just now. should i still go?
i have health anxiety so not sure if iām overreacting but better safe than sorry i supposeā¦ the problem is my family hates going to the doctors so i donāt want to start any problems if itās not a good idea to go. no one else in our household feels sick yet but i do have asthma (and probably just a weak immune system as well) so i think this sickness is affecting me differently. sheās already back at school but i donāt wanna go back to work!
been taking mucinex and drinking water. i know seeing an actual doctor in person is probably a better idea than posting but iām just hesitant. thoughts?
extra info: 22F, 5ā3ā, 210 lbs, donāt take any medications regularly besides allergy pills bc my family has a cat, i smoke weed pretty often, aaaand i think thatās all.
tldr: symptoms include cough, headache, sweating, chest discomfort, sharp pain when inhaling, runny/stuffy nose, loss of apetite, wheezing i have asthma and allergies as well. see a doctor or wait it out? advice on getting better?

2024.05.07 08:52 dingoflannel vaped every day for a month- cough wonāt go away
Howdy, the title says most of it. Hereās more info tho: I had dabbled in vaping and smoking the occasional drunk cig, but nothing serious. I finally caved bought a vape in March to help me deal with stress, since I hate drinking and refuse to own weed. It was a big Lost Mary and Iād hit it at least once or twice a day, but there were a few days where Iād cheef it for a while. I threw it away after a month, after getting nic sick and growing tired of the body aches and headaches smoking left me with. I only had to charge it twice, and the battery only got to blue those two times. It tasted a little different than when it was new, but it definitely wasnāt burnt. Since I threw it out, I havenāt stopped coughing. Itās productive, Iām spitting shit up, Iām wheezing. Itās probably worth mentioning I had pneumonia or bronchitis or something as a small kid, and Iām not terribly active. Maybe I have some mild form of asthma or something. I seem to be pretty chronically dehydrated as well. I took mucinex for a bit but it didnāt really help. Do I have cancer? I donāt wanna see a doctor, for fear of my parents finding out I smoke, but my momās getting worried. Iāve been trying to hide it, but thereās only so much I can do. This doesnāt seem normal for someone who didnāt even finish a vape.

2024.05.07 06:52 Sea-Government-749 AITA for sending a friend who no longer wants to room with me because of how many times I got sick during the last school year explanations of why I keep contracting illnesses?
I (25f) live in a house with 11 other people (20s f) who all attend a university in the area. My old roommate who we can call Kate (22f) just moved out a few weeks ago, and one of the other girls who Iāll call Rachel (23f) was supposed to move in this week. However, that got pushed back due to me contracting the flu a few days ago. This morning when we spoke about it, Rachel still seemed excited to move into my room at a later point in time, once she would no longer be exposed to the flu; however, after a few hours, I texted her to ask her to pick up some Mucinex for me since I have had a fever and cannot drive, and in that conversation she told me that her mind had changed now that I have been sick for the 9th or 10th time in 12 months and that she no longer felt comfortable living with me if I was gonna be sick that often.
I felt blindsided and fairly upset by Rachel saying that, and since then I have messaged Rachel many different reasons for why Iāve been sick so many times (honestly, the most I have ever been sick in a year) including but not limited to that Kate only ever used hand sanitizer even after she went to the bathroom and never washed her hands, Kate never told me when she was sick and would constantly bring back illnesses that I would then catch because she would take no precautions to stop others getting sick, and almost every time I got that sick (excluding once over the summer), it was after I had been under an intense amount of stress due to my mother being in the hospital due to medical complications, and stress can effect your immune system.
I think I may be the asshole because I keep messaging Rachel when new reasons and explanations pop into my head, and it may seem like Iām trying to convince her even though her mindās already made up and Iām just being defensive because I feel upset.
ETA: changed letters to fake names
ETA to clarify after some comments: I am not trying to convince Rachel to change her mind back. If she isnāt comfortable then she isnāt comfortable and I wouldnāt want her to force herself to live with me if sheād be constantly worried about being sick. Iām mostly upset that she waited until Iād been sick for a couple days, during all of which she expressed excitement to move in with me, and the way that she was talking about it implied that I had done something to get sick repeatedly or it was somehow my fault.
ETA for further clarification: Either way, Rachel and I will still be sharing a bathroom and common areas. The only difference will be that we wonāt share the room where we sleep or a closet, etc.
ETA the next morning: Rachel and I talked this morning, and she apologized for wording everything the way she did, and I apologized for getting defensive.
(I also only messaged her two or three times with reasons why I kept getting sick and stopped when I realized I might have been being a jerk about it)

2024.05.04 02:12 Famous_Garbage_5127 Conceiving
Sooo me and my husband just started trying to conceive. This is month 2. I could swear I was pregnant but took a test and was negative and today I think I started my period. (I Wiped and was a little brown like when youāre about to start and Flo said i should be starting so yeah) Anyway I did a lot of research and I got prenatals the one a day brand that says you can take before, during and after pregnancy and has folic acid which I heard is good to conceive. Also I started maca root and I started ashwaganda and will be doing the mucinex trick this month. Any advice on the stuff Iām taking or any input?
*Also Iād like to add me and my husband have a high sex drive so we have sex everyday so I havenāt done the LH strips because if itās going to happen itās going to happen basically. I know it hasnāt been that long trying but I would like some input. (Were 30 and 31)

2024.05.01 15:18 HungryLab2630 Low AMH Road bump in our fertility journey
My husband and I are both 31 and have been trying to conceive naturally for 10 cycles. I've been using LH sticks, tracking CM, and tried the Mucinex trick twice. I've been taking supplements and recently switched to the Bird & Bees prenatal with coq10. I'm also starting to take additional vitamin D.
I do have endometriosis. We recently went to a fertility doctor to do testing. Everything for my husband came back great but my AMH came back at 4.70 amh pmol/l (0.6 ng/l) which is very very low. We had our consult with the fertility dr yesterday and they suggested moving right into IVF. Best case scenario we get pregnant and we have embryos to save for a second pregnancy at a later date. Worst case we are out $20,000 with nothing but we know we tried.
I 've been going through so many waves of emotions. Sandness, anger, resentment, frustrations, bursts of optimism, and then back to the tears.
I have been asking my gyno & family doctor about family planning for years. I've asked if I should freeze my eggs, should start trying right away (my husband and I have been together for five years) both of them said no I'll be fine!!! and of course, you listen to your doctor. I can't let myself focus on that but of course, it puts a burning rage in me that they didn't send me for testing sooner knowing my diagnosis of endo and a history of infertility. If only, if only, if only.
Also to note, this month I have to get a new rubella vaccine. My family dr tested me in Jan- told me I was fine, only to have the fertility clinic tell me I needed a new vaccine. My faith in the whole system is crumbling. I know can change my diet, try acupuncture, etc and I will do all those things but it's just a sense of overwhelmingness. I just feel so alone, lost and confused of what to do.
This month I will focus on my own health since we can't try naturally this month due to the vaccine. We are thinking we will try IVF in June (I am also a teacher and want to take advantage of benefits before my contract ends in June) for context we are in Ontario.
I know I have to be positive and that there is always a chance, but this feels like a huge road bump in my life with so many emotions attached to it and I'm turning to here to try and process.

2024.04.29 06:28 pawprinteresting Mucinex D messing with my supply :(
My baby and I both have horrible colds. I took mucinexD at 2pm yesterday and at 11pm tonight I still feel like my boobs are empty. Iāve let her nurse a lot still to not totally ruin my supply but my boobs just seem floppy and normally theyāre overfilled constantly. Sheās about to turn 6 months.
Iām so stressed and idk if itās still the mucinex at this point or just being sick. Should i just keep on nursing her a ton but then do a bottle of frozen breastmilk after 20 min of trying? I was gonna try the pink stork lactation sweets as well.š¢
