Do taking inhaled asthma steroids increase your likelihood for conceiving or pregnancy?

No : There is no data that would support or refute the statement that inhaled steroids effect the ability to get pregnant.

No: Very little of the inhaled steroid dose gets absorbed, so there is little to no effect on the rest of the body. I would not expect any effect on fertility, and I have never seen any studies or other evidence that there is any effect.
