Prednisone and FET (TW)

marcap123

Hello, I am hoping this is an appropriate place to post this. I am 16dp5dt and have good betas. Waiting for 6 week u/s now. This is my first clinical pregnancy (had one chemical before with an IUI). Other than that, I don't have recurring m/c or anything--just trouble conceiving. However, I have +ANAs and some autoimmune issues. So I was on prednisone for both the IUI cycle and now this FET. Obviously, the prednisone did not extend pregnancy last time. This time, I'm not sure if the prednisone has anything to do with the success of the FET. But my RE wants me to taper off after the 6 week u/s. I'm already having anxiety about this as I'm reading some people stay on much longer (i.e. through first trimester). Those individuals seem to have had extensive autoimmune workups and elevated NK cells (I never tested for that). They also seem to have histories of recurrent m/c, whereas my problem was getting pregnant in the first place. I'm hoping the prednisone has nothing to do with this so when I wean, it won't impact anything. Wondering if anyone else has experience with prednisone and tapering so soon, like 6 weeks?

Thanks!
