Stuffy Nose & Sudafed...Insider's Tip!

Adults:
There is a secret out there, and I wish more of you knew about it.
The secret, is Sudafed.
But, there are imposters and its a little difficult to get the real thing because of all of the "meth" drama.
But, if you have a stuffy or runny nose, and you need some immediate clearing up, follow these steps. We swear by the stuff.

Sudafed is "PseudoEphedrine" and it is the real deal. It is the one ingredient you are looking for. It will dry up your nose like no other, and fast. People will not even know you are sick.
It does comes in Generic Form (fabulous), it is usually red pills, 30mg, and it is cheap. However, you have to know what you are asking for. You will not find Sudafed on the regular shelves, because it is controlled.

Sudafed PE, is not what you are looking for. You will find Sudafed PE on the regular shopper shelves. Avoid this imposter. It is not the same! Also, many cough & cold syrups may try to replicate its effect, but unless it says "PseduEphedrine" in the ingredients...I wouldn't bother.

To get real, plain old Sudafed...
1. Go to a Pharmacy (Walgreens, Wal-Mart etc.)
2. Approach the "Ask" window
3. Tell the tech/pharmacist you would like to buy Sudafed.
They can usually tell by your terrible voice and stuffy nose, "Soo-daa-fet" is how you'll sound.
4. They will get a box or two from behind their counter, and ask to see your Driver's License. Note how many are in the box, cause you will need to take 2 at a time, every 4-6hrs to stay clear. Its worth it to get two boxes if you can, to avoid this hassle next time.
5. You will have to show your ID to them, they will document your name (its okay, really), and you may have to sign something. They have to do this, to be sure the same people are not coming in, buying Sudafed in bulk and using it to make drugs. *If thats what you wanna do, I can't help ya there.
6. Purchase your magic Sudafed (its like $3-$5 per box) and walk away knowing you got the insider's tip, and will be breathing normally again in no time.

To keep your sinus' clear, you will need to take 2 pills every 4-6hrs
(be sure to follow directions on your box, and when 4-6hrs rolls around, your snot will return unless you take the next dose) while you are awake. For some people, it can keep you awake, so maybe avoid it before bed.

READ Labels and Ingredients carefully...and check back soon as I tell you more about Cough and other common Medicines.

Ahem, Ladies....

Its good to know just when you are ovulating. Let me tell ya how to know when that is....

Good for you if you track your period. Not everyone does, so its hard to predict ovulation. However, you do realize that your periods starts, and that is the first clue.

About 7-10 days after your period starts ("starts" as in, the first brown tinge), you can watch for a few subtle signs you are ovulating.

1. Some women feel a little light cramping or twinging on one side, as the egg is relased from the ovary on that side.
2. More obvious, is the change in your cervical mucous. When you notice that the mucous gliding out is clear, slippery, and can do tricks, you are ovulating. The trick you can try, is to stretch the mucous between your thumb and finger, and if it stretches a ways (inches), you will know it is time. I mean, this stuff is springy. It is like that, because it is preparing to carry any sperm to the queen egg.

When you make this discovery, head to the bedroom in the next 12hrs or so!
OR...avoid the bedroom for the next 12hrs at least! (Depending on your family planning :)

But either way, its good to know when that time comes.
