    Will allergies and steroids affect my sway??

    Hello all,

    I have been hit with a bad case of allergies all over my skin and was just given steroids 60mg a day for the next couple days to help with them. We are ttc this coming cycle and I'm about 2 days away from AF coming, so I would ovulate around Aug 7-9. Will these meds affect anything?? I am also taking benedryl about twice a day. I hoping the allergies will subside in the next day or two and I can lay off the meds by the time AF begins.

    ALSO, my hubby has been complaining of pain on his left testicle due to heavy lifting. Will this have any affect on his swimmers??

    We are not in a rush and can definitely wait until next cycle but would like to try this coming cycle if our current situation will not affect our sway.


    thank you!!

    Please give me a few days before you bump posts, since I go from oldest to newest, if you bump too soon it just goes back to the top of rotation and actually takes me LONGER.

    As far as we know, the steroids should not sway blue and the Benadryl sways pink. If you feel ok about your sway otherwise I'd still try, but if you'll live a thousand years of regret TTC and getting a boy, you could skip it, but don't forget that for all we know this may have been the perfect month and we'd end up with worse odds in another month.

    I would have hubby go to the doctor because it sounds to me like he has a hernia. Should not affect sway but if it gets strangulated that is bad. Additionally a twisted testicle (men don't usually get this, only little boys, but it's still possible) is a medical emergency that can be very serious.

    Atomic, thanks for your response. Update :I've been on zyrtec the last couple weeks. Have stopped the steroids for about two weeks now as well. I've had ewcm the last couple days and while testing my opk today had a flashing smiley which means high fertility. Was not planning on ttc this month as I mentioned earlier but lo and behold we spontaneously dtd. I used preseed. My question is, should we dtd again in a couple days to full out go for it and try to get pregnant? Or just not do anything and hope I don't get pregnant!? I feel good about my diet and supplements I've been on the last several months. I just don't want my recent allergies/meds to affect my chances for a boy. My gut feeling is to go for it and dtd in a couple days... I feel like since I still had ewcm that zyrtec didn't hurt anything? Please help!

    A flashing smiley can mean you're still many days from O.

    It's totally up to you - I would have you go for it since you seem to ahve many days of EWCM in spite of the Zyrtec. It has been neutral for us in terms of results - does not seem to be working for pink sways anyway, and the reason it supposedly worked was by drying up EWCM. If your EWCM is there, I'd go for it. I would not just have one more attempt though, I'd try to sneak in as many as you can since at least 3 BD in the fertile window has swayed blue for us. If you prefer to stick with Shettles, I'd wait for positive OPK and then have one that night, again the next morning, and then again the following night if possible.
