Follow doctor advice: It is not a good idea to conceive while you are going through allergic reaction. This will put the fetus of getting exposed to allergy in mother's womb. I would wait until the present symptoms subside and can try to conceive next month.

Listen: To your doctor, he is right, the edema and over reactive immune system could affect many body compartments.

No problem: Most hives can be controlled by antihistamines even in above average doses. Since many antihistamines are in category b pregnancy, you can take them throughout your pregnancy. There is often no cure for hives but an allergist can help you to control them. At your age, you should not wait any longer if you want to conceive. However do not get pregnant if you get choking from throat swelling.
