Brief Answer:
Ovulation can be inhibited.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Triamcinolone can lead to inhibition of ovulation, as it is a steroid and disturbs the pituitary hormone levels, which lead to ovulation.

I will suggest you to track your ovulation is next cycle so that appropriate dose and medicine adjustments can be made to maintain the ovulation in the menstrual cycle.

so I might not ovulate?

Looking at my periods above do you think I can conceive naturally. Triamcinolone has never interacted with me before and I have always ovulated

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (21 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Ovulation is possible.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If you have ovulated earlier on triamcinolone, then you are likely to ovulate on the same dose of the drug.

Natural conception can always be a possibility of ovulation is proper.
