Okay, so. I had a miscarriage on October 28th. Got my first period on November 25th (right on time). I usually ovulate 10-12 days into my cycle. Right now I'm very sick. Sore throat, ear ache, tired, chills, etc. I was this same sick the two weeks prior to finding out that I was pregnant the last time. My fiancee went out to get me feel better medicine and now I'm scared to take it because *what if* I'm pregnant again and it hurts the baby. I'm freaking out. So, I didn't take it. I know it's silly because I probably am just sick this time around but, I don't know. He's also been going out and getting me food that I want and he comes home and I don't want it. ***. So, needless to say, I'm extremely nervous. The only thing is that I haven't had the CM I normally get yet. It started a little yesterday which makes me think I haven't ovulated yet but will be in the next few days. I don't use OPK's or anything. Just go off of my body. So, I don't know. I guess the reason I'm posting this is for someone to tell me it's okay to take the sudafed meds. I really just want to feel better. I feel like absolute **** but did the last time I was pregnant too, so I'm a bundle of nerves. And I hate taking meds as it is, pregnant or not. So this isn't helping. Any advice is welcome!

And if you read all that, THANK YOU!

Just don't take the meds. But hey you got your period already, that's great!!! It's so hard to tell when you might be sick or pg. I was sick when I conceived my son. I didn't think I had a chance! I didn't take anything cuz we were TTC.

I THINK that my doctor told me I could take tylenol cold when I was sick and pregnant...so maybe take that instead?

[mlyster]

Tylenol is safe to take if/when pregnant. I don't think I would worry too much if you take cold medication right now. If you are pregnant you probably have not implanted and it would be very unlikely to have harmful effects this early on. Think about all the women who don't even know they "might" be pregnant this early and there are healthy babies born every day.

If you are that concerned talk to your doctor and perhaps they can recommend something you can take that is pregnancy safe.

Ditto to Michelle!

Sudafed in the red box that says PE on it is safe to take while pregnant. But only that one not the others.

[dancefever]

This one is in an orangy/redish box but doesn't say PE. And I know tylenol is safe, I just don't think tylenol is going to cut it right now, lol.


Thanks for all the input though ladies! I didn't take it last night. But, I might end up taking it today if I can't do this anymore. I'm not sure that I ovulated yet because of the CM so that's kind of pushing my decision. Plus you're right that even if I did, it probably hasn't implanted yet.

[.:Shortcake:.]

This is the one my doctor told me I could take while pregnant. Hope this helps hun.
