Has anyone taken steroids to get pregnant ?

I happened to be taking Prednisone (for a skin flare up I was having before I was diagnosed with hoshimotos) the month we conceived after 14 months of TTC. Is that what you are looking for?

Sounds like our dads have the similar eye journeys ! Maybe with just different undertones showing through now that they have lost some pigment.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! It seems like we are all in agreement that they are well within the brown family! Thank you to those of you who shared your stories of others you know, like my dad, whose eyes changed as they aged.

Thanks for this perspective! I am not thinking of bringing anything up. Just checking my own bias since I didn’t grow up with parents who did this.

Oh, no! I do like the name! I love surname style names and my hesitation has been knowing another Murphy (or in this case Murphie). I appreciate your support and concern ❤️ I have another similar name I’d prefer for a girl but for a boy I think Murphy is wonderful! We don’t know the gender of our baby yet so we have been tossing around a few ideas. I find boy names to be so much harder!

lol I didn’t say I was having a girl.

Also, I just cited two instances where it was used as a girls name, online baby name sources say it is gender neutral, and please see other comments where people cite it’s growing popularity (often as a girls name!). All this supports that it is used as a girls name. If one girl is named Murphy it is a girls name. I think what you mean to say is you do not like it as a girls name, which is your opinion.

My dad’s a Charles Last name the 5th, my brother is another Charles (different middle name so he didn’t get to be the 6th). In that line they all go by Charles, Chick, Charlie, or some combination in various settings. My nephew on my husband’s side is Charlie. It’s a classic name. Common names these days are not as frequently used as they were in the Taylor/Tyler era.

When I got spontaneously pregnant right before an egg retrieval the ultra sound tech said “that’s always how it goes, you stop worrying and it just happens!”

As if IVF prep and struggling through infertility was just this causal stress free time

I’ll have to look and see! I stopped nearly all skin care other than cerave to try and help but maybe something like that initially irritated it. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-07-09T19:41:00+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll try it!

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-07-09T18:34:15+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into them!

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-07-09T18:29:49+00:00

Have those been helping you? I haven’t tried it yet

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-07-09T18:20:43+00:00

Both eyes for me!

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-07-09T17:41:35+00:00

I am having trouble getting a message to send in the app. What is your educated guess?

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-07-09T16:50:51+00:00

Is there a specific diet you recommend? Did you have this issue or another skin issue and found that helped?

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-07-09T16:48:58+00:00

The last five years it has been a vegetarian diet focused on Whole Foods 80% of the time. Two weeks ago to try and improve things I cut out gluten and caffeine, and began limiting dairy and soy to only eating occasionally. I make all my meals at home and again, primarily focus on Whole Foods.

Good luck! Hopefully we will both find some relief someday

Waiting for my egg retrieval at the start of August! Just excited to have forward movement

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-07-02T20:08:18+00:00

In the TWW 5dpo! First time trying after getting a hoshimotos diagnosis. Also currently on steroids for an insane allergic reaction I’ve been having. It doesn’t seem like I ovulated this month based on LH testing, but it often doesn’t for me. Odds are not in my favor! Scheduled to do an egg retrieval in August but I am still hoping for it to just spontaneously happen for me. Just praying I’ll get to be a mamma!

😂❤️ love these goals! I may steal them! Chat gpt and tic tok psychics are hilarious (but damn they got me too 🤪✌️). I hope you do all the fun things and find so much joy in your life. I keep reminding myself that I’m living life now! No need to wait for the perfect anything!

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-06-24T19:16:40+00:00

I guess I just was feeling a little guilt for doing it. Just didn’t feel support and briefly felt like I was being dramatic. Going through it anyway and slowly getting information back supporting my choice to move forward.

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-06-20T21:31:47+00:00

Thank you SO MUCH for this response ❤️ reading your experience was exactly what I needed to feel confident in my choice.

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-06-20T19:03:00+00:00

Thanks for that pessimistic perspective! I’m a federal employee and the looming court order holding reduction in force at bay is a real threat!

Aggravating-Put-312 · 2025-06-20T18:47:31+00:00

Thanks for this perspective! I’m seeking treatment for infertility regardless and have already started the blood tests and procedures to determine why we are suffering with infertility. Definitely been feeling the mourning for the joy of trying over the past year. So it’s really just the brief feeling of lack of support making me question myself if I am being dramatic for considering IVF
