Did your sales drop for awhile after becoming a Fiverr Pro?

I got accepted to Fiverr Pro a few days ago (yay!) and raised my prices accordingly. The price increases were quite significant. I write blogs so it went from $65/85/$105 for varying word counts to $100/$140/$200. I notified my regular clients of my new Pro status and subsequent price increases. Not surprisingly, it sounds like I'm going to lose the majority of them. Did anyone else basically have to start over with a new customer base after becoming Pro? Did your sales drop after getting Pro, and did they eventually increase as you gained a new customer base? Not gonna lie, it's a little scary to lose all of my clients! I'd love to hear your experience.
