Immune/NK cells pred thread #34

@Gizmo1983 yes I was nervous to wean off but Silvia Edge was so reassuring the entire time. I totally get the worry though. I was on hydroxy for basically my entire pregnancy - is that what they've recommended for you too?

@Newbeginnings22023 sorry for what you're going through, sending love x

Hi @Hopeandfaith1990 thanks so much for adding me. Hope everyone is ok. I’m still reading and following everyone’s news but I’m not as active as I would like due to my mum’s critical condition. Sadly she’s still in a coma and they found multiple strokes in her brain, so it was a good decision for me to pause this whole TTC process as I can’t mentally cope with all of this.

Hope everyone is doing ok xxx

Thank you for starting the thread and tagging me @Hopeandfaith1990, glad to have found you guys again!

And lovely to hear your positive stories @lozzmax and @kea1990, thank you for sharing!

I did feel a little nervous but I think I was actually more anxious when I stopped the progesterone as that was really the last bit of medication for me (except the intralipids). I found the regular scans at the clinic really reassuring and my husband used to say to me that we had no reason to doubt the plan and that we were in the best hands but I think it’s natural to be worried. Sending lots of love xxx

@Objectiontime have they decided when you are to start weaning the steroids? @lozzmax and @kea1990 were you nervous weaning from the steroids it’s like losing your safety blanket xxx

@Hopeandfaith1990 thank you and yes I am feeling very relieved, still cautious though:)

@Hopeandfaith1990 thanks so much for the new thread I wouldn’t have a clue how to do it 🤪. Those oestrogen tablets are yucky things
@Objectiontime woohoo that’s awesome news so pleased you still managed to get scanned ☺️.
hey @lozzmax massive congratulations how time flies doesn’t it. Im still very scared in my head I suppose im thinking if I lost one at 15 weeks what’s to say I wont loose one at 18 or 20 or 27 weeks but it’s something I just need to deal with and hope and pray this is our time 🤞🤞🤞
@kea1990 massive congratulations 🥳

@lozzmax@kea1990thank you so much for sharing your success, huge congrats to you both! I tested positive on Saturday on my first cycle with Dr S so I needed to hear this!! Feeling so scared and finding it hard to trust that the protocol is going to work.

Also feeling very overwhelmed with the thought of the road I have ahead of me 😂. Just generally over thinking everything as you can imagine so I needed to hear this today! Xxx

Hi everyone

Sorry for the radio silence but I wanted to let you all know that our miracle baby boy arrived in January following my sixth round of medication on Professor Shehata’s protocol and 3 previous losses.

I was genuinely worried that I would never be in this position and owe the CRP clinic everything. It was a physically and emotionally draining journey to get here but can honestly say it was worth it.

I am over the moon for anyone who has had positive news and am sending all my love and hope to anyone that is still on their journey, I truly hope that the CRP clinic work their magic for you and you get your miracles too.

All my love x

Hi ladies, thanks for including me in this thread. I'd kept meaning to check back in so it was nice to have the reminder. I have sat and cried at a lot of your messages, it brings it all back for me, I'm so sorry for what you're all going through, it was the hardest stage of my life. I'm pleased to report that my little girl Heidi arrived (a little early) on 5th March after four consecutive losses on Dr. S protocol (and two before our first daughter was born). She's perfect. It was the first pregnancy I tried steroids - not sure if that made a difference or not, but the pregnancy was ironically a little bit of an accident so I hadn't done ovulation intralipids that cycle and I also didn't start taking any meds other than hydroxy until I got a positive test.

@Gizmo1983 I was racing through the thread wanting to read good news from you and I am sat here crying happy tears to hear that you are currently 15 weeks pregnant. We met in the CRP clinic about a year ago I think. I have absolutely everything crossed for you and am praying you get your miracle.

The only other thing I wanted to say is that I'm taking part in something called marathon for miracles next year - an amazing man called Olly is running 39 marathons in 39 weeks to raise money for Tommy's. He's going to run one in each county with someone who has been through pregnancy loss and I will be doing the Berkshire one with him. Im still holding on to a lot of trauma from the losses (which I definitely realised when I started crying at this thread) and I'm hoping it will be healing for me. If you fancy, give it a follow on insta - it's @marathonsformiracles.

Sending love and hope to you all xxxx

@Hopeandfaith1990 Thank you so much for starting off the new thread, really appreciated 😃 Good to know your cycle is moving forward well. Sorry you are feeling a bit drunk without the fun though.

@TammyinCork, ooh that’s a lot of money but worth it if you get your answer and know the best way forwards.

i nearly missed my scan! For some reason I thought it was today but it was actually yesterday. All went well, measuring 12 plus 4.

@tammyincork sounds like the appointment went really well and yes that is a chunk of the money at the start. Hoping you get your answers soon. I have found the meds ok tbh, it’s a lot to take and the steroids are the worst bit - in terms of moon face for me 🌝

Thanks for sorting my love @Hopeandfaith1990

hope everything went well @objectiontime today! Xx
