I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant from ivf. Im on cyclogest twice a day, lubion injections, clexane injections and prednisolone steroids. Could the steroids be increasing my white cells meaning I don't really have an infection (go thinks I needs abx). My ovaries are still HUGE from the menopur stims so could them being inflamed be the reason for the high count, if so, does that require abx?
