anyone ttc on prednisone and progesterone

[Anonymous]

After 3 2nd trimester losses and two 1st trimester miscarriages, I finally saw an RE who recommended using prednisone and progesterone the next time I want to ttc. I am already taking Neevo DHA for an MTHFR blood clotting mutation I have and am also taking baby aspirin, one extra fish oil and a regular vitamin. I don't know what to expect from the prednisone and the progesterone. I think she mentioned taking it at ovulation but am not exactly sure of the timing. I've been on prednisone before after surgery and it was horrible. I was up all night and eating at all hours. Unfortunately, I gained 25 pounds in about a month when I was on it before. I'm hoping the dose will be lower than what I had before so I don't experience the same side effects. I certainly don't need to gain anymore weight, except necessary baby weight. I don't know what to expect from the progesterone since I have never taken it before. My luteal phase seems to only be about 10 days long, so that's one of the reason the RE wants me to take it. I would appreciate any experiences anyone would be willing to share if they have been on prednisone, progesterone or both while ttc.
