Does Prednisone always stop your bleeding? Do cortisone rectals irritate you?

I was in the hospital over New Years on IV steroids for 2 days. Flex sig showed moderate flare. Can't do full c-scope because I'm 29 weeks pregnant.

Left hospital on 40 mg taper along with other meds I was taking for maintenance but upped due to the flare - 4 Lialda, Rowasa nightly and Canasa daily.

Was on 40 mg for 7 days then tapering 5 mg every 5 days. Things have been good. Pain is gone, urgency almost gone, frequency down 1-3 times per day, formed stool. Mucus pretty much gone. These have been my symptoms since the end of 40 mg...so I was thinking that the the blood is not because of the taper since everything else seems to be getting better?

The only thing I seem to have is a tinge of bright red blood when I wipe. Nothing in toilet or on stool. So I switched the Canasa to Hydrocort supps for a few days thinking hemmies as the rectal inflammation has gone down they must be there (had horrendous tenemus during worst of flare). They seem to irritate me and make things sore and blood starts to mix with the oils that are left behind.

So 2 questions...

1. Does prednisone always stop your blood? Am I mistaking the taper? Last time I tapered (this is my second flare) the only thing that stopped the blood was Rowasa after like 6 weeks. It has only been 2 since I got out of the hospital.

2. Does anyone else get irritated from hydrocortisone rectals? I seem to get more blood with cort supps, enemas and even cortifoam.

Any input for me?
