Immune/natural killer cell treatment when TTC or pregnant (aka the 14th pred thread)

A HSG is a test where the inject dye into u and X-ray ur pelvis. It can look for polyps etc but also that your tubes are clear and that the egg your releasing is getting to the sperm. Obviously a blockage means they can't meet etc.

If u get a lh surge doesn't mean u ovulate. But if ur getting ur temp changes then that shows u r. You could ask ur gp for a day 21 progesterone-if over 30 u ovulated.

What has mr s advised?

I'm just in a bit off a tizz right now.
I'm not sure if informed is the right one! My dad is trying his best to keep Me grounded but I don't believe him!

I know wot u mean 8 had 3 preg in a year too. And now I've stopped?! Don't get it at all.

I hope ur ok rosa, it's so hard.

Thanks Trying.. You're right and I'll be 39 this year so very aware of the clock. What's HSG?
I assume I am ovulating as sticks, monitors and temp check indicates - not to mention 3 pregnancies in a year, though last was last May. I believe SO just creates more eggs so more chances. But I heard can take 5 months to work usually. So not sure I shouldn't have conceived by then anyway therefor what's the point as that's £1500. Hmmm

Sounds like you're super informed and really good you have a plan - definitely helps to stay positive and calm. I also had the view you had about Mr S being my only hope.. I guess I still feel that given my age.

I will probably do option C but very open to being influenced by other views. X

So I vote c! Second place b! (But what do I know!

Hi rosa! I think go for SO and acu. I'm in a bit of a agressive mood at the moment though and want things to happen fast! But I think it's sensible given ur over 35 (not that ur at all old and hundreds on women on the miscarriage thread in late 30 and early 40s sorry if that sounds rude) but they do try to be more agressive in the over 35? Did u see mr shehata what did he advice? Was this Month 6 of trying? Are u going to retest the sperm?-get him on some multivitamins with high vit c and zinc and seliumum. Sorry lots
Of questions!

Have u had a HSG? Good to check tubes all clear? if not clear then SO won't work anyway.

I know wot u mean what if u do it all, and it doesn't work. But better to get to that point sooner rather than later? (And I'm sure it will
Work) but I've thought the same before. When I was planning to see mr s I thought well if I miscarry under him I'm doomed. (Which isn't true at all but we all think the worst sometimes!)

I've spent some time today looking up ivf clinics . I prob sound mad but I'm so worried I'm never going to naturally get preg again. I rang mr
Lower secretary and have decided to see him after month 7 if no luck-sperm at month 7 too. Then after
Month 9 a HSG to check tubes. Feel better with a plan. Then give it a year and then go for SO (although I'm not sure about that if I'm ovulating?).

Let us know wot u decide rosa, I hope ur bfp is coming soon x

Ps meant throw, not through

Hi everyone
Dildoos.. My total time is almost same as yours.. I've also just got my AF today .. 100% knew it was coming days ago so disappointment not fresh!

I'm struggling to decide what to do next. I want to start accu again but also have prescriptions to start the SO thing and to be honest worried about it all adding up and that making me more low if not successful and months roll on. I should just through everything at it though right?
A- I try accu only for a month or so
B- I do SO only for 4/5 months
C- scrimp & save to do both

Please vote! I have until tomorrow morning to decide before take letroze and seem incapable of making decisions. Just got FSH etc blood done today too so will have results next week. My DH had his sperm count results yesterday and were slightly low side of normal- think 1800? So it's sport, no hot baths and red veg for him!

Be great to hear from Hope?
Sunny - hope you're doing ok and thanks for info again.
Trying - sorry you've been feeling it more lately.. Try take as much time as you can to look after yourself. It's the one thing we can control a bit.. And it can make the difference between a sigh and big cry!
Happy weekend people when it comes x

I usually test for ovulation at 12-4pm. Not used a monitor. Glad af didn't take forever to come-I rem one month I was 3 days late which never happens and took 10000 tests. So mean!

Oh yes didn't think that about my cold. Here's hoping. 8dpo and no symtpms or cramping or bleeding. I'm feeling mainly out but hoping I'm wrong this month!

Oh no trying for virus, but oh yes at same time as your immune system will be low right now so may bring good news for you!
Determind how are things?

Good luck sunny for testing!

Af arrived here, feel fine about it ! I usually reset monitor in am but think will do tonight as have heard best to test for ovulation in evenings?

Any ways if don't tge back on here have a good weekend everyone! Back Sunday night will update on the visit xx

Morning girls!

Good luck for sat dildoos. And sunday for u sunny. I've got a virus :( luckily not at work today so gonna spend most of it in bed with tissues!

Determined any bleeding? Have u got a scan lined up? Things might be ok???

That's what I thought too.

Biscuits are such a feel good food especially when dunked in tea! Nom nom nom !
My favourites have to be the classic bourbon or a pink wafer biscuit.

Seeing dr s Saturday so was hoping my new cycle would start and it would give me a positive to start on seeing him and also the acupuncture !

Come on af show your dirty face!

Things again!
I hope the acu helps u! I not been in a while need to go again soon.
Just ate a lot of biscuits. Whoops.

Could be the pred? Now u know when u ovulate just take it day after? Hope it comes and hurries up so u can get on with thin

Trying I really hope your dream comes true x

Trying af due today but no sight of her but also got another BFN tonight. Last mc was July but in total been trying 43 months 7 mc in total. However , this coming cycle is going to be the first that I will have tried acupuncture ( so going to start my counting again as the saying 43 months sounds and feels like FOREVER!

Been trying this time around?

I'm not having any preg symptoms :( Had a dream last night I got a bfp and it was so realistic. I dreamt I went to have my intralipid infusion etc! I wish I had dreams which come true but I don't usually!

I'm thinking of waiting till month 7 over and then having a HSG (blacked tubes) and a 3d uss scan (for ashermans) and my DH sperm checked (he's had an undescended testicle not operated till 18) . It's prob a bit ott but I have gotten preg fairly quickly before on 3 occasions. Plus I have had 2 ErCPs and both were for failed Medical Management 2 Weeks after.

Bleugh! Still secretly hoping all will be well and I won't need above! But also don't want to keep waiting and then be told no way I could get preg with xyz.

Determined any bleeding? U musnt give up hope it might be ok?! Can u organise a scan soon? They usually do at 5/6 weeks?

Anyone heard from hope? I hope she's ok x

Hi guys.
Sorry af came dildoos :(. How many months have u been trying for this

Sunny yes she is zita west accredited it was talking to her I got the NK cell info :-) go for it, she said at different times of month she will work on different areas xx

I googled fertility acupuncturist in my area and struck lucky. Try it Sunny xx

Oh forgot to say I have my first acupuncture appointment on Monday, the lat ha worked on 2 of dr s patient before who have gone on to successful pregnancies and her passion is in fertility and dealing with NK cells! Woohoo here goes! She knew a lot of stuff and chatted on phone for about 40 minutes she seems really nice and surely that's the half of it? Find someone you like? X

Determind I found with frer tests they never darkened for me. I took comfort in a good old clearblue tell me how many weeks test! I have everything crossed for you!
X

Hi guys, no real update from me today...cramping loads like AF and lots of weird twinges on my left side still (had them last time wonder if there is something odd inside that's not been seen on scans?!?). Did a FRER and still had a line although I would have it expected it darker by now (according to all those who see Dr Google!!) ever wish you could see inside and know what's going on? (Weird thought!)

Like that thought trying! Glad you and sunny are staying positive!! So close now!

Sorry you got Bfn Dildoos :( good timing with a nice date night though to keep busy (or jiggy ;))...Oh I know a guy like that...eventually cracked when it came to having a family...err I think I let down my side of the deal there-ha ha.

Have a lovely well deserved evening

Evening all.

Determind how you doing?

Sunny and trying everything crossed for you lovelys for weekend and Monday.

I feel better again! Must be the pred on my last few days as been of now 3 days and feeling better!

Af due tomorrow , bfn tonight but feel at ease with it. I wonder if af will be late as ovulated later than normal as took pred 3 days early by accident as didn't know to do on a moderate on fertility monitor or a high? So here's to waiting.
Trying dp not into marriage but hunk as parents have recently divorced ( he is a rather protected from real world type guy which can be sweet but also very naive ! )

Tonight we are having a date night! Hoping it may lead to dtd jut via we can!

Xx

Determined update? Hope ur ok
