IVF and Steroids

[Me1010]

Hello 👋🏼

I am about to start my second FET after my first ending in miscarriage. I have an autoimmune condition, very high white blood cells, and I can’t help thinking that it might be playing a part. I’m in pain a lot of the time and I just wonder if my immune response is too high and my body is working against me getting pregnant! I’ve spoken to the clinic who said they could put me on a low dose of steroids for this cycle. I have tried them before in the past just as a treatment for my pain; they made a negligible difference so I didn’t think it was worth staying on them. My gut is saying try the steroids, at 10mg they’re unlikely to have a negative effect. I would love to hear from anyone else with experience on this - positive or negative!!

Thank you 🙏🏻
