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

Fab news hope! Hope the scan aids outing your mind at ease.
How are you today determined?

Thanks so much Trying. You are such a sweetie. Hospital didn't ring until 5.30pm and then I had dinner plans with the girls (just as well it was good news). I came up with various rubbish reasons for why I wasn't drinking! Then got I on mumsnet as soon as I was home. DH is wondering what I'm up to on my phone the whole time! Is it a week until you ovulate again? I think we were all in sync last month! So hoping for BFPs for you all this month! Xxx

Hope been waiting for
Update. So glad to hear about ur hcg. And hope scan goes well too :). I know it's still early days but its starting off well :)

Oops, sent to soon. Meant to say Dr S says I have high gliadin antibodies which are causing me to have an auto-immune response to any pregnancy. It can be variable though.
Sending you all lots of positive vibes for lots of BFPs this month. Thanks so much for the support this week too. It has meant a lot, xxxx

Thanks Sunny!
Hope you are ok Determined. Sending you a big hug. Life is so cruel sometimes but there will be happier times ahead.
My story is as follows...
I'm 38 and DH is 36. We have a three year old DS. We had three miscarriages before him and have had four since (one very late, another little boy when I was six months pregnant last year. The others ranged from six weeks to 10 weeks).
I am now five weeks pregnant again and on treatment for the first time. Had bloods taken today and they have gone up from 2017 to 3966 in 48 hours. They say that is good enough. I hope so! I am having a scan at epu on Monday to check if sac is developing or something along those lines I think.
Hope everyone is managing to keep spirits up. When we lost our little boy last year I thought I'd never feel happy again but time does help. I also know that miracles can happen because we have our DS, who was born a whopping 9lb 3oz after no treatment.
I am on prednisolone, cyclogest and intralipids at six weeks. Dr S says I have high gliafin

thanks Dildoos/Trying will deffo try and do that for peace of mind!! x

Here goes...(slightly long one)

Me 32, DH 36
TTC since July 2013. 2 miscarriages (Jan 14, 7 weeks, April 14, 6 weeks) and then of course whatever is happening now (at only 5 weeks!).

Have PCOS, borderline NK cell levels (but I think the activity is high!?) MTHFR and very high thyroid anti-bodies. After my second miscarriage I was exhausted for weeks which I didn't think was just the upset of it all so I knew something which wasn't quite right and found Dr S after then.

Treatment wise I am on metformin for the pcos, (and aspirin and vits etc)pred after Ov and prog and this month was my second doing super ovulation. Due to the PCOS I was ovulating really late (day 20+ on a 30-32 day cycle so luteal phase too short). Oh and also have to have intralipids from BFP.

As I type I am feeling ok ish (considering)...i am sure i will be up and down over the next couple of days but i am trying to stay positive that i got pregnant so it will happen again and it will be successful!!! :)

Sending positive vibes :)

Determined so sorry :(....Yes can u go for bloods or early scan? I would keep going with pred and progesterone till u know for sure? Some
People say the progesterone can delay the bleeding side of things though...but I'm sure ur epau will do hcg/scan and let u know either way. :(

Determined can you get in for a scan soon to see what's going on or bloods? X

Thanks for sorting Sunny :)

Following on from thread 13, Dildoos yes same type of test (although cheapy one and did a repeat this morning, same result :() and thanks Rosa/Trying still not 100% sure what to do so will prob stay on the pred/prog although started to spot ever so slightly so its pretty clear what is happening - oh joy!

Dildoos - yes you can drink on pred (thankfully!). Be careful if you are on metformin though (not sure if you are? I am for PCOS) as it can make you quite poorly if you over indulge.

Will put a summary on the next post x

Thanks trying! You have made for a happy lady :-)

Ok here goes

I am 34 dp 32
DD6 from previous relationship took 3 years to conceive had a constant period bleed throughout pregnancy. Ended small for dates and heart defect.

Been TTC for 42 months started June 2011.
7 mc later and just even diagnosed with high functioning NK cells which may have been my first pregnancy issue.

DP is the only daddy in my little ladies life and it's an amazing bond they have so I realise how lucky and blessed I am already.

Just hoping for a longed sibling for DD and a biological child for myself and dp to share also.

Long story really! Sorry!

Glad to be a part of this thread x

Oh and thanks sunny!

Me - 30. DH - 34
Ttc since April 2013.
3 miscarriages. June 2013 6 weeks. Sept 2013 9 weeks after seeing heartbeat needed ercp. May 2014 at 6 weeks needed ercp.

Have slightly raised nk activity but normal levels. For pred/intralipds/progesterone combo.

Currently feeling ok/maybe in denial as brain tired from worrying EVERYDAY. On cycle 5 of TTC this time and hoping it happens soon.

Hi guys! Had a lovely time away. All relaxed and refreshed
Hope-how was ur hcg? I have my fingers and toes crossed
Determined I'm sorry to hear that-could it be that it's coz u tested late at night? Did u retest this am? Keep taking the pred I would say...hope ur ok....
