Immune / natural killer cell treatment when ttc or pregnant (aka the 15th pred thread)

Rosa you are so so close. I'm wishing the next 2 1/2 weeks away for you. You've really helped me to be positive in the last few weeks, just seeing your progress encourages me. Keep strong.

Just had my scan. Heart still beating away and grown as it should. I can relax at least for the rest of the day before anxiety kicks in again! Another week until I see Dr S again - I pray that all continues as it is. Bloody hell this is stressful!

Really hope this is the beginning of a stream of luck and good news floor he rest of you ladies

Thanks Trying. We all get our bravery tested don't we - so tough. Hope you get answers .. I never went to a dietician - wish I had though.
Seeking - thinking of you too... Everything crossed xx

Seeking hand holding for today

Oh rosa, u choked me up. It's so overwhelming. Ur nearly there. Keep being brave

Sunny hope u got Louise!

Hula anyone who been to dietician. I take omega 3-it's from Holland and barrat 1200mg and has epa 648 and dha 432. Is this ok??

Thanks Hula, Seeking, Sunny, Trying. Feel a bit weepy tonight .. Was so scared tonight. I never let them switch the monitor on as still traumatised by images showing no heart beat .. Tonight I looked and my wee baby's hand waved at me .. I can't avoid crushing heartbreak now if things don't keep going well...
They said they could test for more things like extra or missing chromosomes if we found out the sex so said yes. Not sure will share that, but given it's taken me to 39 to get here, and given I don't know I could go through all this again no matter what, I think I do want to know. Years ago I never though I would but the last few years panned out very differently to how I imagined .. You have to do what feels right I guess.
It's amazing how great it feels to read good news for you guys too, and for positive steps and mind sets .. Will be over the moon if we can all start moving through the ranks this year towards our dream. Sorry I'm OTT emotional right now x

Excellent news Rosa!! You're sooo very close now! Keeping everything. Crossed for your harmony results. Are you finding out the sex of little one? Xx

Either ur results were wrong, or as my ivf guy said its all a game of chance and even if there one sperm in there u can get a BFP! Which was his explanation as to my 3 quick pregnancies followed by nothing for 10 months! It's such a strange bizzare world I think so much noone knows about fertility.... when it's meant to happen I think maybe it just does and it all fits into place. My acupunctre lady told me today of a woman who had pred intralipds etc twice it didn't work. So went solo on nothing and has a baby?!! How bizzare!?

I have a great feeling for u. Yay! Let's hope we have another bFp very soon! This thread was a bit depressing a few months ago! And now it's all go ??

Rosa fantastic ! A good scan at 10 wks is a REALLY good sign. I had planned on having the harmony test with my mc last year and it sounded very accurate for picking up the trisomy esp downs. Your odds are still far far more likely everything will be fine. Keeping everything crossed for you (and sunny and seeking) for happy and healthy LOs. Go ladies !!

Oh my! Don't check the board for a bit and we have another bfp! Amazing congrats sunny. Don't worry about not being on the drugs, ur on hydroxy and u will get the others in u soon. So exciting! No ivf after all! I hope this thread is finally picking up and getting some good news after all the crap we have all been through! Whoopy!
And rosa excellent news re scan, so close to 1st trimester ending!
Seeking hope ur ok re tmrw x

YAY Sunny!! Congrats !!
The momentum is finally building - so excited. I had super faint results too at the start.

My scan tonight put me at exactly 10 weeks. The blood was taken for Harmony and I now need to wait 2 weeks for results and 2 1/2 for my dating scan. So nervous about Harmony results .. Has anyone out there ever had it?
X

Oh and try not to worry about the flight, i found out i was pg with ds the day after we arrived in canada so had two long haul flights b4 6wks. The relaxation of being on hol should cancel out any negatives.

Great news Sunny ! Sooooooo pleased for you.

Rosa hope your scan went well.

Wow trying that s loads of drugs to try and remember, good idea getting an app. Really hope this works for you 1st go.

I asked DrS about the flight, he said it's fine. Just get some flight socks!

Sunny....
First off CONGRATULATIONS!!
Secondly - it always happens when you're not 'trying'. I got my bfp on my second month 'off'! Bloody typical! As a result had to wait to get drugs (4 days to be precise). I also did a tesco test which was faint and the exact same worries. I also ha a holiday a week after my bfp, just stay out of the sun when you can and make sure you drink loads to stay hydrated.

Sounds like you're in a good position meds wise, sunny. As you know, loads of people start pred later. Currently I'm not taking pred after ovulation either!

If you're interested you could call the company to ask for sensitivity... I did that once lol. It took like 2 minutes! I think digital is 50 sensitivity?

Wow, sunny, so excited for you!! The supermarket ones always came up as faint for me too at the start and I'm now 30 weeks. How many days past ovulation are you?

Wow really interesting about the advice you got, Sunny. So no prenatals either? Good call staying on the hydroxy though! I've read it can take a longggg time before it's properly in your system so no point in stopping whatsoever.

Weird the digi came out but then the other was faint. Which brand was the faint one?

I think a while ago you had mentioned not being convinced your husband had low sperm count? I think this substantiates that!
