Prednisone Masking Symptoms?

Hi all. I posted on another board about my fear of weaning off prednisone too early, but a new week, a new worry. Now, I'm actually eager to wean because I think it's masking my pregnancy symptoms and driving me crazy. I had a FET last month and am about 5w6d now. Good betas (last week, none drawn since). I've been on 10 mg prednisone since 1 week prior to transfer. When I got my BFP, I started having some minor pregnancy symptoms and they progressed a little over the next two weeks. I feel like I'm having less symptoms this week. I know that prednisone can mask symptoms, and I'd feel better if I never had any at all. But I was on prednisone the whole time. I'm wondering if the longer I'm on the steroids, the more suppressive effect they're having? My symptoms aren't totally gone, but the main one--fatigue--is not as pronounced as before. I also feel jittery and anxious--a known prednisone side effect for me. I'll have a first ultrasound soon--but not soon enough! Anyone with experience on prednisone after FET?

    Not on that but my symptoms are like gone.  Never had nausea yet but others I had like breast pain left.  Freaking out myself!  Everything I've read says everyone is different and, since we are both early still, symptoms just haven't actually hit yet or never will.  
    Good luck to you. Praying it works out with whatever your doctor advises you to do

    I’m also 6 weeks and next week will be my first sonogram. Definitely super nervous. I’m also on prednisone and have not really had any pregnancy symptoms except for urinating very frequently and fatigue at times. I’ve also felt the anxiousness. It’s refreshing to hear others symptoms because the doctors haven’t explained this to me. I’ve been worried because my symptoms are so mild.

    Also on prednisone after my transfer. Had good Beta numbers but haven’t really had any symptoms. Tired, some light burping, a day or two of general ‘unease’ and some watery discharge but no sore boobs or true nausea. Never thought about prednisone masking symptoms before though. I’m 6w+6d today, had my first scan on 6w+2d and saw heartbeat.
