Dutchie and Sara, thanks for being there me...
BW, I totally agree with you about 'nothing to lose', I am all for the treatment. Given so far, I am still in the 'unexplained infertility' basket, I am not going to let anything slip through the crack.
Holly, thanks for making me feel better about his 'vagueness'. I realized afterward it might be one of those 'unsaid rules' within the industry...
I am seeing my FS next week, I do like him and he is really nice about anything I brought up (including tests did else where
) I do think he is very diligent and good for what he does. So I hope he can provide me some sounds plan of attack.
BTW, are you on Prednisone for the same reason or due to other issues? About side effect, yes, I've already have a nice tire wearing around my waist, so more padding will be lovely. Another loads of clothes on ebay then...
Melbel, thanks for the clarification and glad you mentioned there is some benefit after all for this horrid drug. At least it will help with the egg quality. Do you have to have a complete break from IVF when weaning off it? Like no overlap period between FSH and Pred.?
Sorry to hear your loss last November, I hope you find out the reason or is it due to the dosage of Pred.? (don't have to answer if you don't want to hun..)
Dusty, don't worry about crushing this thread. Your question is also helping me to understand all these. TBH, suddenly facing something completely new and knowing so little, I am even having trouble to form my questions to ask. So ask away hun!
The general recommendation Dr.S put through to me is "Immune Suppressive therapy", which involve Pred. So what BW and Mel explained perfectly. When I mentioned that 'I am going to take steroid' to
DH, he said its quite common, a friend he knows takes it for his sinus and his step father also takes it for his should pains.
I am not looking forward to add another drug to my list, but like some of you said, at least I will be doing something different this cycle and that gives me hope.
