Hey pebbles .. yes, it's just thrown us another curveball. It seems we really are fighting hopeless odds - even if my eggs are chromosomally wonderful (which they can't be at my age), 50% of them are pretty much doomed anyway.
I'm not sure of the exact cost of the test as we had all three tests done at the same time, but looking it up it seems to be about £250 for the DQa test alone. Mr S hasn't commented yet, I just emailed Cheryl this morning to ask if the results had come through yet and she mailed them to me, which was kind. I don't believe Mr S offers LIT anyway, and since he doesn't test for DQa matching as standard, I presume he probably doesn't hold much store by it, so I'm expecting he'll just say we carry on surpressing my immune system. But by all accounts if you already have v high NKCs, even before a 50% DQa match, then standard intralipids/prednisolone treatment won't be strong enough.
How I feel about it .. truthfully like we're really up sh*t creek without a paddle. It just seems there are so many obstacles in our way, I just don't see how we can ever get a healthy baby out of this. I suspect once I tell OH he will say that's that then, there are just too many factors that weigh against us. And I guess he wouldn't be wrong. There are just too many IFs .. IF we manage to get a chromosomally ok egg (my age), and IF it's in the 50% that isn't a match with me, and IF we can surpress my NK cells enough, then it might work. They're very slim odds, by anyone's standards :( I don't know what we do next, to be honest.
