effects? I'm just curious as we are trying for #3 and I worry about the effects of Lomotil (occasionally I take it) and all the Immodium I use. (at least 2x a week). I wondered if anyone did conceive while on medication. Did you continue to take it while pregnant.
Thanks,
Sandy

I am also trying to conceive #2 and my ob told me it was safe to use Immodium. She said it was ok to use Bentyl also, but I prefer not to use any meds if possible. So I just stick to immodium, tums and rolaids.

I'm C so have no clue on the immodium but I was told not to take the anti-spasm drugs while pregnant.

... I have two children and fell pregnant with the second while on anti-depressants. I felt terrible as I did not know I was pregnant (why would I be after 3 years of infertility and 7 IVF attempts!), and was on them a while before found out. I then had to wean off them.
I worried about it a lot but Will was born perfect.
I would just try to limit any meds as much as possible and only take them if you really have to.
