Immune/NK issues - aka Pred Thread no.20!

Ah Harriet and poppy! Just your nice words have made me feel better- all be it probably short lived as my mood is so up and down lately! I didn't realise that poppy- I knew you'd had you're ovarian reserve checked, but had no idea, you'd been told it was low in the past.

Harriet I would be reading into everything too!

Hopefully scan can be booked for next Thursday - need this af to arrive before I can book. Due today. So now imaging signs of pregnancy and temp was still slightly raised this morning- but I know I am not, deep down. Will do a frer if it doesn't show by tomorrow and temp isn't still up.

Starshine, whatever the result of ovarian reserve, please try to keep an open mind. As I prob lamented on the other thread, I had a private fertility doc tell me six months ago when I had a scan after an incomplete MC that I had low "ovarian volume" (apparently small ovaries for my age), indicating very low ovarian reserve. He said I shouldn't even wait three months to TTC again. Then I had another scan to check MC was complete which showed my ovarian volume was bigger than he had said (6.8 ml vs his 4ml) and finally an AMH measurement with my NHS endocrinologist which said my reserve is "excellent" for my age. I was distraught for weeks and it was all codswallop. Also, the midwives who did my second scan said they knew nothing about ovarian volume and think a lot of the fertility terms are over complicated and serve only to scaremonger. So, fingers crossed for an encouraging result but please don't stake everything on it at this stage!

Hi all,
Thanks for starting the new thread Harriet!

I am hannah- soon to be 37!!
One MMC then my DS who is almost 4
TTC 2 years now with two MMC picked up at 12 weeks and then one at 10 weeks. Two 5 week miscarriages

Just finished 4th cycle MrS treatment for borderline nk cells.

Having the scan harriet and tests as fears over my ovarian reserve! Am petrified it's going to be bad news and last month the dates didn't work with my holiday so had to postpone. Have had two scans before, one at st Mary's and one at my local hospital, where the ovulation dates didn't match up with the scan images so mr s wanted to take a closer look. Trying to look at it that if it is ovarian reserve the sooner I know, then the sooner I will have to come up with a different plan! Not that I know what that is right now.

Accupuncture def helps with my relaxation poppy and it's nice to have some me time! Have heard reflexology is good too. Your commute to the clinics sounds bad too! Are you still able to work from home?

Welcome Luna! This is a lovely supportive board to be on. Sorry for your losses, but hopefully you'll be lucky now

Hi Harriet and Luna, is this a thread to replace the one we must have maxed out recently?!

How do we find all the gals who were on it, just hope they know to check the conception board?!

Anyway here's me:

TTC no1, aged 35, with mild CAH (endocrine condition that carries slightly higher MC risk)
1 chemical pregnancy at 4w1, 1 incomplete MC at 5w4
4th cycle on Pred
Excellent ovarian reserve for age
Negative for antiphosphilipid

Hi all! I've had a bit of a look through previous thread and I know that most of you are Dr S patients, but I was wondering whether anyone had had the testing done at Coventry? I'm thinking about it and had a couple of questions. Thanks!

Oh yeah and fed up and hate doctors
