Steroids.. Advice ❤

[Littlepeax]

I am due to have my FET soon and wanted to try steroids after reading SO MANY positive stories on here. I've seen people say it was the only thing that made a difference after so many failing. My clinic however are not keen to pursue this as they say there is not enough 'evidence' with regards to NK cells/steroids.

I have endometriosis and awful sinus issues which have both been linked with auto immune issues. I have never been pregnant after trying for 7 years in March (straight after we got married).

I really want to take a low dose steroid to improve my chances and make me feel better. No harm right? I have no faith in my body and any help will make me feel better. I am going to try and get a prescription to put me on them and speak to my GP too. I literally want to do all I can as this might be my last try with these little embies. I'm a little fixated on steroids and basically anything that will improve my chances 🙈 any advice would be so helpful xxx ❤

Not enough evidence just kills me, I am a living proof, steroids worked for me even though my NK cells weren't elevated. I had 3 chemicals in the past so decided to test my NK cells and results came back normal. My doctor put me on steroids and immunosuppresants and we been successful, I have 3 months old twins from that cycle. You have to try it also, there is no harm in it. Good luck 🤞♥️

Thank you so much ❤ I really think it makes all the difference. Do you need steroids and intralipids together? Or just steroids lol 🙈 I'm going to transfer 2 I think 🥰 twins how amazing xxx

I was only on low dose steroids, didn't use intralipids ... Twins is nice but is damn hard job 🤣😂

Hi Littlepea.I think those that take low dose steroids, do so in te hope that they dampen down the immune system so that hopefully it doesn't see the embryo as a foreign body. One of the latest ones that are being tried is azathioprine which commonly used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients - just something I heard about. Diane
