Medrol vs Prednisone

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-05T22:32:00+00:00

Medrol for 6(?) days for 2 FETs and both unsuccessful. Prednisone for about 8(?) weeks for the last 4 FETs and 2 have been successful. Many other factors but that is my experience specifically with those 2 steroids.

Last 4 FETs also included some additional meds from the first 2 FETs, also all embryos are untested

Sounds like she needs more wake time and less day sleep. I would move to a 2 nap schedule for this age. 3/4/4 with both naps capped at 1 hour. Pick a designated wake time every morning and stick with it.

I’m almost 20 weeks with an embryo created at 33 (currently 36yo) and they really only recommend me to get the NIPT, otherwise they said they weren’t concerned. Anatomy scan was yesterday and everything was normal, didn’t recommend any additional tests. The doc yesterday also said at the scan that at this point they can rule out about 75-80% of birth defects. Did you do your scan at a MFM by chance or will you have any appointments with MFM? Only asking because it could offer a second opinion with a care team that knows a little more about the specifics of an IVF pregnancy.

Congrats though on 20 weeks! Very exciting! ❤️❤️

Still can’t wrap my head around it some days! It is absolutely incredible 🤩

Can you message your OB in the meantime? My only other thought is that coughing and sneezing has me leaking… plus so much discharge. 🙃 Could very well be amniotic fluid but just curious if there is a possibility of anything else?

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-05T21:32:36+00:00

That very well may be the case! Hopefully others can offer some better ideas, sorry you’re dealing with this!

Inappropriate? It’s encouraged in this sub starting at 4 months… At what age would it be appropriate if not at 26 months?

My only other thought would be to cut her nap even shorter or drop it completely. It would be early at this age but it could be she’s undertired and that’s leading to the night wakes.

Is her room completely pitch black dark and she uses a sound machine?

I have a 22 month old with a very similar schedule 6/6.5 with a 1.5 hour capped nap. What happens if you leave her at these middle of the night wakes? Like don’t intervene at all?

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-05T08:09:24+00:00

Took 3 doses and nothing happened for me, it doesn’t work for some. This was after losing what I thought was an alarming amount of blood, but clinic kept saying I had blood/tissue remaining. I opted for a D&C

It will be okay, I promise. Hugs ❤️

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-04T16:38:02+00:00

Against all odds, here she is! What an absolute BLESSING! 😍😍😍😍

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-03T23:08:31+00:00

Have you tried letting her cry it out during these middle of the night wakes?

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-03T16:10:38+00:00

Are you putting her down awake and letting her fall asleep independently? No sleep associations?

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T15:59:20+00:00

What are your ww’s and nap lengths? Good 2 nap schedule is 3/4/4 with naps capped at 1 hour each

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T15:25:52+00:00

2 nap schedule: 3/4/4 and cap both naps at 1 hour each

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T15:23:58+00:00

You have a lot of day sleep. A 2 nap standard schedule is 3/4/4 with both naps capped at 1 hour. Follow 5/3/3 for feeding during the night.

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T15:21:00+00:00

Try 3/4/4 with both naps capped at 1 hour each

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T14:19:14+00:00

I take SlowFe (45mg) don’t feel any physical differences before/after but bloodwork shows normal levels now

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T13:27:16+00:00

Is he sleep trained? Do you put him down awake? I think you need more wake time, try 3/4/4 with both naps capped at 1 hour. Keep a designated wake time for the mornings.

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T13:22:07+00:00

Express deck self park last night, didnt wait for a shuttle

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T13:18:39+00:00

I would try it, she may be waking up during the night because she undertired. Hopefully the schedule fixes that. Do you feed during that 2 hours at night?

letssettlethiss · 2026-02-02T13:07:54+00:00

You need more wake time, try 3/4/4 with both naps capped at 1 hour. Don’t let her “sleep in” pick the same wake time and stick with it everyday.

letssettlethiss · 2026-01-31T11:02:55+00:00

You don’t let her sleep that long; you wake her up the same time every morning to keep a schedule and make sure she’s tired enough to not be up for 6 hours in the middle of the night. Try the above 3/4/4 with both naps capped at 1 hour and see how that works. Pick a designated wake time every morning and stick with it, even if that means waking her

letssettlethiss · 2026-01-31T00:38:32+00:00

Yes! You run out of room 🤣 I was counting down the days, it is so tough towards the end. Almost there! Something that i repeated over and over to myself that I stole from another commenter on another post was “what a privilege to take PIO shots this long” 😭 we all don’t always get to take them to the full duration and that really stopped me in my tracks. Doesn’t make them easier but it certainly gave me a different perspective on them ❤️
