Hayfever when TTC - What to take?

[Incy Wincy]

I have been suffering with hayfever for the last couple of weeks. My symptoms were so bad I had to buy some medication in order to function properly.

I understand that most medicines are ok to take until you know you are actually pregnant but can anyone give advice on which products are best to take in the case of a possible pregnancy?

Thanks

From memory, I dont think there are many over the counter medicines for hayfever you can take whilst pregnant as they mostly contain psedoephedrine (sp) which is a no no during pregnancy.

I use this link a lot being pregnant myself. If you can find the main ingredients in the medication, this guide can help you. Having said that though, it is ONLY a guide and each pregnancy is different.

I feel your pain, Im a sufferer of hayfever and Ive just had 2 weeks of a terrible cold on top of it!
