Hi everyone,
I am new on this. I am currently going through my first IVF cycle.
A bit of history:
I was naturally pregnant 1.5 years ago and MMC at around 9 weeks. All tests came back normal, with no sign of thyroid or antibodies. I got pregnant again 3 months later, ectopic and resulted in emergency removal of left tube.
We started TTC after 3 months of my surgery and had no luck for 5 months. I had some recurrent miscarriage tests done 3 months after my surgery and my thyroid antibodies came back high and positive (Tg 232 and TPO 0) and normal TSH. Last month, as part of the IVF procedure, had my thyroid panel tested again and I had Tg at 490 and TPO 150, TSH also 3.11.
Doctor put me on Levothyroxine that reduced in my TSH to 1.11. And after commencing my IVF, he recommended Prednisolone (steroids) 20mg from the day of EC and intra Lipids infusion before my ET.
My question is - has anyone been on prednisone and/or intra Lipids with high thyroid anti bodies? How long were you on it for? Did you do anything in particular to combat the side effects of Pred? I am getting really worked up by the oral cleft defects and other issues. What is safe and when to ideally wean off? And what dosage is regarded too high?
Any feedback from anyone would be highly appreciated! Thank you in advance. :)
