Prednisone/Pregnancy Caused PCOSFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 23 Mar 2002 17:55:27 -0600 (CST)
I have Lupus and took prednisone throughout my pregancy (my son is 18 months old) and after it for about a year. During pregnancy I had GD that had to be controlled with insulin, but my blood sugars returned to normal after pregnancy. I have been completely off prednisone for 5 months and a 2 hr gtt showed elevated insulin levels and I have polycystic ovaries and have only o'd once on my own since my pregancy. When I asked my RE whether or not I had PCOS, he said "I think you just have Lupus" but my Rheumatologist said plainly that LUPUS DOES NOT CAUSE ANOVULATION. Before I got pregnant I had mostly normal cycles (7-8)/year, but since then nothing. Could the prednisone have done permenant damage to my endocrine system? Could it have made turned a little anovulation into PCOS? Or could the pregnancy itself caused my PCOS or chronic anovulation? What do you all think?
