I'm dealing with chronic urticaria and I'm wondering if its okay for me to take Allegra or Cetirizine on the day of my embryo transfer and afterwards. Can you advise? I'm kinda anxious about how these meds might affect the process or the embryo itself. What do you suggest I do?

For chronic urticaria, you can take Allegra (Fexofenadine) or Cetirizine. On the day of embryo transfer, you can take Allegra 180mg once daily or Cetirizine 10mg once daily. After embryo transfer, you can continue taking Allegra 180mg once daily or Cetirizine 10mg once daily as needed for your chronic urticaria.
