Of course this close to TTC....

So Monday morning hubby woke up with this crazy hive rash all over his legs. 24hrs later 90% of his legs were red and turning purple. Day 2 he went to the Dr and it turns out he had this very rare reaction to Ibeprofin and is now considered allergic to something he takes maybe once or twice a month for pain..... So much fun :sad:

I am wondering if the Triamcinolone Acetinide Ointment for his legs, arms, stomach, and back will help a girl sway... I believe the Bendryl every 4 hours is good. The Ointment has petrolatum, mineral oil, lanolin, and steroids. Would it affect his sperm count? Sperm hyperactivity? Sperm ph? Or would it increase the odds of unhealthy sperm-baby?????

Today is CD2 and I am due to Ov right around the New Moon July 1st.

What bad luck! I don't have any answers for you, but I hope your dh feels better soon!

Steroids would tend to sway blue BUT this close to your attempt and in such a small amount, I'm sure it will be fine.

The Benadryl is what will work best anyway - speaking from frequent experience, it's the antihistamines that work on the rashes and the creams are only to stop the itchiness until the antihistamine kicks in.

Well he has to use a lot of the ointment... about 2tbsps 2x's a day. He is thinking of stopping it because he is having insomnia problems.

We started our TBM today so I am hoping the lowering the ph is enough.
