Steroid dosage…

hi everyone

Quick question heading into our FET in a few weeks and thought I’d get others experiences of steroid dosage if you didn’t mind sharing….previous fresh transfer which was negative I was on 10mg then dropped to 5mg (just before transfer) of prednisolone. I had read previously that someone’s consultant said anything less than 25mg wasn’t of any benefit. I just want to make sure we get everything right.

Thank you in advance lovelies ❤️

Hello,

I’m on 20mg of Prednisolone ahead of my FET, & I believe I’ll be staying on that dose throughout.

All the best for your FET, & hope this is your time ✨ xx

I was on 25 mg from a week before transfer until 12 weeks when I weaned off 5mg every 5 days.

Morning, I was on 10mg for the first week then that went up to 20mg ahead of transfer this week - and will stay at that thought pregnancy if we get a positive.

Hi, I didn't start my prednisolone until my embryos were transferred (my one and only frozen transfer). It was 20mg. I now have a beautiful 7 week old little baby boy.

hi

Wishing you lots of love and luck for the fet ( you won't need it hopefully)

I was on 20 mcg of steroids with my embryos and IVIG drip.

Are your clinic recommending just steroids or the ivig or intralipids alongside?

Hi I’m also on 25g steroids with intralipid drip and clexane and aspirin. We had a failed FET in July so hoping this makes a difference! Had the transfer on Thursday so in the 2WW and trying to not think about it but also get excited too! Sending dust to you! X

Thank you so much everyone for sharing your protocols!

I should have mentioned clexane, aspirin & Intralipids are also part of my protocol but i definitely think I’m going to request a higher dose of steroid.

Thanks again, wishing you all so much luck & love on your journeys ❤️
