So I've been on prednisolone for some nasal issues for a week. Today is my Ovulation day, tests and symptoms are all positive. I have read that steroids actually helps with conception and pregnancy. Anyone have any experience with steroids from before O that lead upto bfp? If yes, did the ovulation and tww feel any different from other months? TIA

Mixed studies on it. However, I’m doing IVF and was given it (due to start it in a couple days) to take for a week prior to embryo implantation (along with hay fever tablets). The idea is to use this combination to reduce inflammation and make it easier for the embryo to implant. Some specialist use it and others don’t—again mixed studies.
