Have anybody been on...

Prednisone before starting Clomid?

I was Dx with PCOS back in 2006 and started actively TTC in Jan. 08 so my RE put me on Prednisone (an steroid) to lower my Testosterone levels...But I've been reading threads and more threads and I have not seen anyone do this...

Anyone have try this protocol?

I have been on Prednisone since before our ET, though as a prevention for miscarriage... Unsure if that helps. Good luck to you!

That's so interesting, I didn't know that Prednisone can also be use for that. Thanks for replying and good luck with your ...

My RE said after my blood work came back that my (and many pcos patients) high testosterone comes from an adrenal gland malfunction and he put me on Dexametasone for that. I take .5 mg every other day. It can cause hip problems in rare cases, though.

Haven't heard of prednisone for it though, sorry.
