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

Meant to say, good luck testing today Sunny!

Hi Trying, I was thinking I'd try SO if I wasn't pregnant after six months but mainly because of my age. I would probably give it a year at your age, especially as you know you can get pregnant. Are your AMH and FSH levels ok? Mine were on the verge of dodgy...if you haven't had them tested I'd probably do that before starting SO too. If they are fine, it is probably just a waiting game.
I know how horrible it is but it will probably happen next month and it really hasn't been long objectively. It takes me an average of four months to get pregnant, sometimes two months, sometimes six.
I haven't tried SO so I don't really know but for me a big factor was the extra expense. Obviously worth it when it works out but we've had to put so many things on hold for this and our credit cards are looking terrible! In some situations I'd say go for it right away - I suggested it to my good friend the other day - but it seems really likely you will get your BFP soon, if your AMH is good. If your AMH isn't good for some reason I might look into it.
Anyway, I bet your AF cramps are implantation cramps and you'll get your BFP in the next couple of days!

Err not sure.. I think I saw him after the 2/3 months and then after that on SO so every month.

Thanks girls. Not got one yet. I didn't see him after the usual 2
Months for various reasons. And since then not contacted him. I thought I would email Louise once 6
Months pass and then maybe arrange to see him?

When does he usually like to see u if not on SO? Is it just the 2
Month meeting?

Hey trying...as Dildoos says...it ain't over till it's over and you still have a chance until af starts! Also early preg and period synptoms can be so similar you never know where you stand! Am praying you get the result you want though.

Re: SO I went on it fairly quickly but for me because I have PCOS and had a luteal phase averaging 8 days (ovulate really late, like day 24 sometimes on a 30/32 cycle) so I was never going to implant in that short time. When I was on it i ovulated on day 14! I had to have some more blood tests before to check hormone levels etc before I started. When is your next appointment with Dr S?

Good luck for tomorrow sunny x

Trying - sometimes that feeling is just a feeling fx for you it doesn't arrive and you'll have us good news for Christmas! Not over til the fat lady sings and all? Or in our case af! X

Hey girls. I feel af on her way. I'm due wed/thurs. don't think I'll even bother early testing. I'm obv a bit pooped. I really thought and hoped it would happen this month. But no luck again. It's really hard to not let
It stress me out/get me down. I'm worrying I've not got to battle with infertility as well as miscarriage (I know I sound silly it's only been 5
Months right?)
I'm not sure when I should start thinking of SO I reckon dr S would be happy for me to try it soonish but I really would rather not...my dad says wait at least a yr of trying and likely it will happen by then (but
I'm not sure he's being objective!)

Girls on SO - when did u decide go down that route and did dr s day anything about when to?

Current plan is to keep trying get DH sperm tested at month 8 then I have no plan!

God this is hard work!
Sunny good luck for u tmrw. I have a good feeling hope im right x

It's such happy news hope ;) and here's hoping for a couple more early crimbo presents on here too! The last 2 times I found it I was pregnant I had no idea. My acu lady (2nd time) even said is there any chance you could be preg and I said no as dates were so wrong but I was!! Not a clue ;)
Fingers crossed for you xxx

Sounds like a good plan! I vaguely followed SMEP this month. DH not keen on me going back to sticks and me being a bit crazy. So I hope this way works for us!
Sunny ur testing tmrw right? I hope it's good news! I'm gonna test on Tuesday but maybe pop some
Pred tmrw.

Hope - that's my thoughts I mean if the big man himself can't help then no one can
How's everyone today?
I have been wide awake since five
So I bought lots of stuff I really don't need and perused mn!
Day 3 of cycle so def not the preds fault either.
I have decided if we dtd everyday from day 8 surely we are in for chance of bfp? Just got to woo dp now

Ha, ha! It's got to happen with Santa on side!

Ok peeps wishes put with Santa!! Watch this space ladies this thread is going to be all pregnant on pred! X

Here's hoping!

Hi Trying, I really didn't have any signs pre HPT. I only took the test because I was meant to be going out that night. In fact, I had told my acupuncturist I was out for that month the previous day. I was pretty surprised!

Hope did u have any signs pre hpt? Implantation bleed etc. I don't have any. But me and dh have it a good go doing day 10,12,14,15. Not sure when I ovulated but usually it's day 15. Fingers crossed!!

I think I'll stay of the pred. And then I'll contact Louise and ask what to do. But id rather not get into SO etc. I'm hoping that if I got preg before it will happen again. My dad keeps telling me it can take a year or more even if all ok. But I don't believe him!
I'm truely so happy for u. U must be so relieved. Hope this is the sister/brother your little one wants :))))

Thank you so much Dildoos and Determined! Honestly, I was a complete wreck! But today was a really good day for us after too much sadness!! Now, I'm sending all my positive and best vibes for your BFPs! Xxxx

Hope being. Little hormonal I had a little tear but pure pure happiness and joy for you! That's wonderful news xx

Ahhh Hope, that's amazing news I am so happy for you xxx

Thank you Trying!! Hopefully this will be your month. It took me six months the time before this to get pregnant which was majorly frustrating. Have you decided to take pred and aspirin again next month or just from BFP? Xx

That's wonderful news! So happy for u :) xxx

Meant to say, big and huge thank yous to all of you! You really did make the whole run up to the scan so much more bearable! I checked mumsnet before I went to see Dr S this morning and told DH about all of your lovely messages, xxxx

Hello all! Just back on the train to Edinburgh and wanted to update you. I could have combusted with happiness but we saw our little baby with strong heartbeat and measuring just right for seven weeks! I was a total mess yesterday as all of my pregnancy symptoms have gone and I was having stomach cramps so I couldn't believe it when Dr S asked if we'd like to see our baby! I am making a note to myself to remind you all when you get your BFPs and this happens to you! I had morning sickness, sore boobs and everything and now nothing but baby is just fine. I had been so sure I had miscarried it was the first thing I said to Dr S when I walked in. Luckily he was very calm and is obviously used to meltdown cases like me! I have another scan in two weeks so just hoping against hope our wee bean will hold on!
I'm also hoping big time for lots more BFPs for you girls! Honestly don't know how I would have got through the last few days without you!
I have been thinking about your post a lot, Rosa, too and if I hadn't been in meltdown mode I would have written before. There have been so many times over the last few years when I have gone through really low points and I really related to what you said. I have often wondered whether to give up trying but in the end I have carried on because, at the end of the day, that still made me feel better than calling it a day. I am sure it is different for everybody and only you can know what is best, but I wanted to say that there is nothing that you have told me that makes me think you will not have a baby. In fact, I absolutely think it will happen if you can possibly carry on trying. I know how completely horrible it is but we are all here to support each other and happy ending seem to come to most people in the end. I think you should concentrate on having fun this Christmas and not worry about being too good with wine and caffeine etc! I got preggers this time when my other half was just out of hospital with a serious chest infection and I was ovulating five days early! I thought I was definitely out so drank loads of wine and full caffeine cappuccinos and it worked out. I was also off the aspirin and pred until I got my BFP.
If you ever feel like a one to one chat I am about for a coffee too. I live in East Lothian but work in Edinburgh. Defo go and see my acupuncturist too! She is so lovely!
I am just heading back to the thread to check when you are all testing this month. My phone won't let me read and post at the same time! Here is to all of our dreams coming true this Christmas! Xxxx
