[Baby Dreamtime]

Hi CP, that is a hard one. I am by no means an expert on prednisone and am in fact sort of self treating my self without a diagnosis, though as I mentioned in the past my FS is happy for me to continue to take it on very low doses whilst not cycling, and as per the colorado protocol whilst I am cycling. I can't argue with your current FSs reasoning, there will always be differing opinions, however I am of the very big opinion that if something isn't working, change it. You have given it your best shot so far and plenty of tries with a 'conservative' treatment. Your reasoning is sound in that NK cells is the only thing you have discovered that is not 'right'. There also seems to be real examples, of where prednisone treatment has helped women in the same circumstance.

If you were on your 1st or 2nd or even 3rd cycle, I would be telling you that you may be too early in the ivf game to worry that this might be the issue, but that is not the case. If it was me with the same diagnosis I would refuse to do another cycle without treatment. That is just my humble opinion. As BW said, it is your body, and you have the right to investigate all options. And there is no reason why you can't try a cycle with Dr S, it might only take one. This game is so hard on us and our emotions and I find myself always looking for the next good reason as to why a cycle might work. In this case I think you have a very good reason for it work.

I hope you can come to a decision you are happy with. I saw your post re your follies, that is the best news, so glad the increased dose looks like it will do the trick. Sending you my best wishes. xx
