Hello,

I am doing my first IVF in the US starting medications today. We have done 1 fresh and 6 frozen cycles previously in Europe but so far the result has only been 3 miscarriages.

My UK reproductive immune expert has recommended me 25 mg of Prednisone from day 7 of stimms (as well as Humira, LIT, Clexane, ASA and Intralipids). But my US clinic has written Medrol from egg collection on my plan. They know my history of m/c but we have not discussed medications for it as I already have a plan from an expert on repro immunes.

Maybe it is just a different preference in different countries and I can use either, but I would really appreciate your advice as you are more familiar with US standards.

Thanks,
Anna

Both are completely fine, no concern they act the same.

Great thanks!

Would it also be ok to switch between them, I can take medrol for the time the us IVF clinic prescribes it (I think 10-14 days) and then switch to prednisone?

yes as long as the doses are calibrated.
