Antihistamine and miscarriage
Took for 1week 5mg desloratadine after my ivf. transfer. Started the antihistamine day 6 after embryo transfer without thinking or consulting the dr.(i always took it during pregnancy and thought its safe but never at such an early stage of pregnancy). Tested positive BHCG day8 after transfer +hcg22 day11+hcg53 day16 hcg56 day18 dropped hcg36. Can the reason of miscarriage be the use of antihistamine ? can antihistamine stop implantation from continuing ?
Hello, I don't know if you ever found the answer for this but for anyone coming across this desloratadine could potentially be problematic for pregnancy. There have been animal studies showing it can be harmful to the fetus and could potentially influence the mother to be not as fit to bear the child. There haven't been any human studies done but this is warned against.
