IVF with Prednisolone symptoms

Hi,
im 8dp5dt, on predisolone and fragmin. I tested this morning as I’ve been tired the last few days and got the faintest line. I’ve still technically got 3’more days until my official test.
Today I feel completely fine, not even remotely tired.
I haven’t had any other symptoms in the slightest and now worried that the faint line is a chemical pregnancy.
Has anyone been on predisolone with no symptoms and had a successful pregnancy?
I had a chemical back in March so now paranoid the lack of symptoms means this could be another one.

any advice or support would be appreciated

I had a succsssful FET in May with prednisolone, had no symptoms in the TWW or after i got the positive result (aside from standard side effects from the progesterone) and didn't have any real pregnancy symptoms until I started feeling sick in week 6 or so. I'm now almost 19 weeks, have come off the prednisolone, and things seem to be going well!

I tested 10 days post transfer and got a positive in a digital test, but at the same time did a different kind of test with lines and it was super super faint. I tested again 2 days later in a digital and then left it at that as I knew I'd send myself mad on analysing tests!

It's so hard not to analyse every little thing, but lack of symptoms at this early stage doesn't seem to mean much if anything. Hope it's a sticky one and works out for you!

Thank you. Congratulations to you!!!
This sounds really reassuring… I’ve had 3 failed transfers and this is my last nhs one (and embryo) so I’ve literally got all my eggs in one basket! 😂
ive been good at not testing up until yesterday. I’ve been in an awful mood all week so was convinced it hadn’t worked.

Its horrible waiting for test day, I was OK at first and then as it got closer it was terrible counting down! Hope all good on your official test day

Good news here too! I’m now 10 weeks and taking prednisolone, aspirin, fragmin, intralipid, prontogest on top of the usual FET oestrogen and cyclogest. I will be weaning off them all in a few weeks time.

I had maybe 2-3 instances of nausea for 15-20 mins in week 7-8. I had no symptoms in the two week wait, bit bloated and the odd twinge.

If any help, before this successful FET I had a failed transfer in October, and the feelings were the same both times. Try really hard not to over analyse as I can say from experience that it feels the same. I was convinced it had once again failed as I felt the same.
