Yep, the prednisone needs to be reduced gradually, whether you stop it after the TWW with a negative or continue it through pregnancy with a positive. Generally you'll be reducing the dose by 5mg per week and going from there. The longer you've been on it, the harder it can be to reduce the dosage... I'm having huge issues at the moment, but I think that relates more to my other health problems.
Honestly, regardless of how reliable the research may be, if this has come up as a problem, I'd be trying the treatment. I don't think you've got anything to lose by giving it a go, and you could very well have a lot to gain.
