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

[sunnyday01]

Continuing from 13th thread

Hi all! Happy new year to everyone :) I'm new to this thread... Haven't actually started treatment yet but am under Dr Shehata's care now, awaiting test results. Hope 2015 will be our year!!! x

Hi mackoo, glad u found us from my link! U can join our journeys and ask away anything u want to!

Welcome mackoo and good luck for your results :) x

Welcome mackoo - I found d waiting for my results a weird one - in one way I wanted him to find nothing, in another way I wanted him to find something!!

Evening ladies and thanks for all the welcomes.

Rosa - good to know someone on the same protocol as i m sure questions will come up that will be good to compare notes on.

LAlaker - thanks for sharing your inspiring story and congratulations on your daughter. So good to hear that it can and does happen. Very interesting about the omega 3 and reservatrol. How much and which supplements did you use ?

Hi Mackoo - good luck with the results. I have to say i was reeling a bit after mine. Like sunny said good to find some thing that can be done but also initially a bit overwhelming.

Good luck to all those ladies starting the tww. Af came for me today so onto cycle 2 !

When is next appt mackoo? I was same as sunny, and then when I was told they were slightly high I felt really sad-not sure why? But I suppose it means there's something the pred can hopefully do

My babymaking DTD has officially ended phew! And now in number 6 of 2ww...not taking the pred again this month...

Sorry af came hula. Hope ur not too pooped! Only one month into the prog though :)

Thanks trying. Actually was pleased she showed as had already been pooped by bfn and when u know ur out u just want get on with the next cycle. How many months did you take pred from ov ? Did it mess with your cycles at all ?

No it didn't mess with it at all. I am just being paranoid incase it were too! I took it for 2, had a month off, took it for one, now not taken it for 2. So will be 50/50.
Lets see what this month brings
Totally know re getting a bfn and knowing ur out, then u just want af to come and ovulation to hurry up!

Hi everyone - how are you all?

I'm not doing too bad - went to London today to see wicked ( which was excellent) and just on train home. Had a slight meltdown in prezzo beforehand as got a text from a good friend telling me she was expecting her second and it's due in June. I'm not too surprised as her little one is coming up for two but it still hits you a bit and the while it's unfair, why isn't it happening for us etc comes bubbling to he surface. I just about managed to hold it together after dabbing my eyes a bit with the napkin but it's now been on the back of my mind all afternoon!

It must be had for my friend to tell me though, she knows what I am going through and how hard it is so I guess it must be hard to tell me but I'm glad she did. I am happy for her but I am a bit jealous I must admit!

Also was wondering today where dies everyone live in the country - I can never keep track!

I'm near kettering in Northamptonshire

Sunny - i so know what you mean about it being difficult hearing of friends pregnancies and then it being there at the back of your mind. I had a similar text on new years eve and it definetly put a bit on a dampener on things and then it seemed everywhere i went the next day there was someone preg. The nursery drop of is the worst and around my would have been due date in nov there were at least three mums with newborns.

We ve just got to keep the faith it will be us one day (and hopefully soon!) .

Yep, after my friend told me everywhere I looked there were babies! I'm feeling better about it now, got to keep the faith!

Sunny I feel for you! Why text when your having nice time in London?
Still yes at least she has said and you didn't have to have tears in front of her!
Welcome new ladies , sorry to here about af arriving that's poop but as you say new cycle new mind, new dtd tricks?
I live in norwich , Norfolk ( very flat and lots of tractors )
We are on day 25 today (bfn this am) and I think you do just know when your out don't you. So wanting af to arrive nice and on time Thursday please and thanks
Xx

Also I have my next appt with dr s but in Epsom clinic on Saturday for our first check after starting pred. What can I expect? X

Hey girls.

Sunny, hope ur ok. Keep the faith! We will get there one way or another. I think we all react to preg news in the same way. I'm dreading seeing my SIL not just because of her bump but she manages to make me feel really insecure and inadequate that I don't already have a DH and really pity's me for this situation. I'm not sure how long I can avoid her for!

I'm starting to stress out as to why not preg yet. DH has also decided to go teetotal not that he had thatttt much but holidays and Xmas he can binge a bit! I'm worried about scarring post 2 ercps and his sperm. I'm giving it till month 8 and getting both theses investigated.

Dildoos I didn't go to that appt so sorry! But I think mainly will check any SE from the pred etc. it might be worthwhile asking him about our worry of the NK cells stopping us getting preg (I think we both have similar activity?)

I'm in Manchester! Used to live in London and moved here for a family life which still hasn't happened :(

That was DC not DH

Hope how r u???

Trying - blinking SIL they are great hey?

Will ask on Saturday for us! Does anyone else have any questions would rather use my 15 mins for answers than holiday talk

X

Bless dildoos! Thanks, only ask if ur interested I would want u to use ur precious minutes on that!

I never had one either but think as I'm doing SO we had a quick chat when I went for my second scan

Sunny that's so hard...I find it such a bitter sweet feeling as you are genuinely happy but also want it to be you after all the losses...I always feel it should be my turn now, gone through enough...I hope you are ok today?

Dildoos - my appointment was relatively quick...He asked how i was feeling on the meds, checked nothing odd happening but then not long after all of that i started super ov as my ov was really late. Anyway, I always try and chuck as many questions at him to understand more about what is going on and go in with a list even if it is a follow up or super ov...(try and get my moneys worth

TWW's good luck hope you are not to anxious and fingers crossed and for those in a new cycle!

I live in Sunny Swindon by the way...it seems like we are all spread out pretty far away from Dr S!!

Thank you determind That's easy enough.

Trying I am interested but last time went with no questions and he filed my slot with holiday chat it was a tad expensive chat lol, lovely guy. So truly any questions anyone has that I hadn't mentioned please add on at least feel like get monies worth xx

Haha! Thanks dildoos! I did ask him myself but I was quite nervous in the appt for some reason and forgot what he said! I'm not sure if its the same or different subset of NK cells. Gosh this is a long journey we r
On!

Determined I totally agree. We have been through so much and it should be our turns soon?!

Yes we very spread out indeed! Lets hope mr s magic works for us all!

Does anyone else find looking at photos u can't help but think,
That's when we were first ttc
That's when I was preg no 1
That's just after miscarriage 1
That's when I was preg 2
Etc etc
All my photos over the last 2 years remind me of where in my journey I was.
Pants !

Not photos butt it's how I remember daughters milestones sometimes .
Ok have to be honest ladies past 2 days I have been horrid! Grumpy! Horrid I am never like this but feel irrational! What's happened to me? Is it the drugs? X
