Prednisolone - anyone taken this before?

[Daffodil1983]

As the title says. Has anyone taken the steroid Prednisolone after multiple losses? Been prescribed it by my consultant but now a bit scared about reading the care leaflet and all possible side effects. Would be good to hear from anyone who has actually taken it in real life x

@Daffodil1983 aw welcome Charlie, that’s lovely news. Hope you’re both doing really well xxx
I’m glad to get the update as I’m about to go again with IVF and I’ve persuaded the NHS clinic to give me prednisolone - but it’s only 10mg. Shehata suggested 20-25. Can I ask what dose you took and from when? Thank you! X

thank you. Im pretty sure I had 5mg tablets and had to take 5 each day from BFP so that would be 25mg. I did that for 4 weeks and then they slowly lowered the dose. I was also on blood thinning injections but consultant at Tommys isn’t convinced they do much.

I really hope you have some good news soon xxx

Thank you.
Yes that’s what my friend took too (she had a successful pregnancy after 6 losses and was sure it was the prednisolone). I’m going to ask to up the dose. I’ll be doing the blood thinning injections too. Fingers crossed xx

Yes definitely do ask. Got everything crossed for you x
