nearing 40 and considering ivf but with steroids,anyone had this treatment?

Hi ladies.
I am considering having Ivf very soon..
It will be 2 years in june since we first started ttc.
I had my amh level taken in November and it had plummetted from last june..

Getting pregnant last year actually wasnt hard. I managed 3 times with opks and cbfm, though I did have 3 very early miscarriages., all at 5 weeks.( i had been trying for 9 months before the first miscarriage).

I have hashimotos disease ( a pre thyroid condition.) with thyroid antibodies, which are known to attack a growing fetus at the early point of implantation. I probably also have natural killer cells as they are thought to be preseent in the blood and uterus if a person has thyroid antibodies.

So I have been advised by a fertility specialist( over the phone and without consultation) to have Ivf with prednisilone steroid.

I would dearly love to hear from anyone who has had steroid therapy along with their ivf as a preventative measure against misgarriage.


Thankyou ladies and I look forward to hearing some stories.

I havent any experience with this sorry but i wanted to say good luck and all the best.I do know of someone on here (over 35) who did go on to give birth to a heathy baby after beng on steroids during her pg as was hypo and had antibodies, so good luck!

May i ask what your AMH levels were? Mine were 4 so a low responder. Getting the full drug package and start downregging on 31st with a prostap injection.

Hi Omi,
Thankyou for letting me know about this success story., gives me some hope.
my amh which was taken in november was 4.8...I had another one taken about 3 weeks ago so I'm eagerly awaiting the results of that.
Where are you having your treatment? I was thinking of going to gcmru in Cardonald.
All the best for you honey, hope it all goes smoothly for you with a positive outcome..
