A member asked:
Will taking prednisone short term (for hives) affect my fertility?

No: A short course of corticosteroid would not affect your fertility. However, antihistamine should be used as the first therapy for hives and it is a much safer medication.

Possibly: Steroids can affect hormones and thus fertility.
