I would guess that the reason you are not getting pregnant is because you are off your meds, and therefore are not ovulation! You probably will need to be on meds throughout pregnancy to stabilize your hormones. You will definitely need stress meds when you go into labor.

As for your sister’s facial discolorations, these are signs of CAH. Skin darkening is one of the symptoms of untreated CAH.

By the way Emla cream works wonders for blood test sticks.  Many of the moms of this board use it for their kids.
