How will taking steroids for poison ivy affect my chances of conceiving a baby this month?

Question

I am hoping to get pregnant this month. I have about 5 days before I should be most fertile. I have poison ivy and was prescribed a steroid for the treatment. Can anyone let me know how this will affect my ovulation or chances of getting pregnant?

Answer 1

The steroid that was prescribed is probably a topical ointment with minimal amount of the steroid hormone.  It shouldn't affect anything with respect to fertility.

Good luck.
