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

[sunnyday01]

Continuing from 13th thread

Yeah I think aggression / activity stays same...just levels vary. Mine were taken just as period ended! Wondering if my levels would have been high too if taken another time
Oh well I suppose I just wait and see if I get preg again

Quite probable , I know prof q likes you to be 10 days past ovulation for a uterine scrap for nk cell level as she was our alternative however something about Mr s drew me to use him x

Just watching 17 kids and counting feel so sad for her , I really don't think MC are any better with 0 child or 16 broke my heart to the family broken x

HI everyone! Sorry I haven't been very active, work has been a bit manic over the past couple of weeks and I have been working long hours so not had much time for anything else!!

Need to catch up with all the other posts, but its ovulation time for me too this week - got my scan today to see how my follicles are doing - fingers crossed for some good eggs this month after i had to up my dose of the letrozole. This will be round 4 for me, so getting in to the time when most people who do SO get pregnant! I am having to get my scan done locally again as Mr s is away - would have liked to seen him as didn't see him last month and won't see him next month as my scan falls just after xmas so will have to go locally again. I am assuming i will ovulate at the weekend.

Hope everyone is ok!

Good luck with ur scan sunny!
I'm ovulating in a few days too. Happy DTD to us both!
Have booked in for weekly acu this
Month...broken the bank balance. I hope it does something for me though!

Ps I kept to my word and am not doing ov sticks this month!

Good luck Sunny, Trying, Mel, and Rosa too, I think! Hopefully this is the month. The law of averages makes me think there should be at least one other BFP before Christmas.

Good luck to all ovulating! I agree hope I think we needs some bfp's for crimbo would be lovely and you ovulating ones are well times for that

Scan was good - have 2 really good sized follicles! One is so big that louise think it might pop any second so has advised to DTD tonight just incase!! Lol!

Also got to do injection tonight but hasn't collected it from the chemist so had to drive 20 miles in the other direction to go and get it, so ovulation will be Friday and back on the pred from Friday too!

Well done for not using the ov sticks this month trying!

That's great news sunny! I hope this is ur month :) .

Hope-how u holding up? Hope ur boobs are hurting and ur feeling sick! (In the nicest possible way! )

Sunny that's fab news woohoo get going girl !!

How is everyone else today? X

Hello! Some of you may remember me from the earlier threads ? I have a 2 year old that was the result of intralipid treatment after VHigh NKC diagnosis. I am now 12 weeks along with another, having had intralipids again since BFP.
Free - great to see you are 35 weeks along now! Has Ari had her twins yet?

Charlie! Great to hear from you. I was only asking about you on here the other week as I thought you might be pregnant again. You had another miscarriage previously didn't you? So good to hear you're over the first trimester danger zone with this one! Have you had a scan?

Yep I'm 35 weeks and really feeling it. It's hard being pregnant and looking after a toddler as I am sure you are finding/will find! This Sunday I will take my last hydroxy, the final bit of medication for nkc. Hurrah! And I am booked in for another cs on 23rd December. Half can't wait until it's all over with but also terrified of a) anything going wrong and b) having two little ones to deal with!

Yes Ari has had her twin boys and all well (well, apart from never sleeping again etc etc...) and Duggs has also had her little boy very recently. Here's to more BFPs and babies soon!

wow - twin boys! Have you found out your baby's gender yet Free? I had a Harmony type test the other day so will find out in a couple of weeks. Yes had the NT scan and looked good from there. Phew so far.
Yes I had another MC (on treatment) in Jan but it wasn't looking good from early on. By 7 weeks it was only measuring 6 weeks even though it had a heartbeat and it was all over by 8 weeks. I don't know for sure but I tend to think that one might have been a chromosomal one.
I will go ELCS this time too as advised by doc. 23rd Dec is a cool date to have for a birthday - what a perfect Christmas present. How on earth people cope with a toddler and a newborn I have no idea. My boy is rather lively to say the least so no idea how it works. Perhaps it's best just not to leave the house for 3 years....

I haven't found out yet no, I was so tempted this time - even as far as we have it written in a sealed envelope from the 20w scan! But we haven't opened it so far. It's the sort of thing I would love to open if we had had a couple of glasses of wine and a lovely night out when on holiday...but that wasn't going to happen (although I have of course had the holidays just not enough wine :) ). You will let us know though when you know won't you!

Yes your last pregnancy sounds just like my last one which is the only I've ever managed to have tested and was indeed chromosomal. It's strangely comforting to know it's 'just one of those things'.

I too am the owner of one very lively toddler who doesn't like to sleep. So the next few months are going to be awful interesting.

cheerful Fab news, so pleased to see it! A can't believe your LO is 2 though, where on earth have the last 2 years gone. My Dad's birthday was 23rd Dec, he liked it. I'm still lurking here, just don't have much to post about now .. or brain power left to post! :)

Should say .. free your advice about peppermint oil capsules really worked! thank you, I read about taking lactulose from the morning after CS (I couldn't face anything the same day) absolutely did the trick too, no problems in that dept! Still hurting 2.5 weeks on from the wound but that's to be expected I guess.

Took my injection on weds so should have ovulated yesterday so back on the pred now for 10 days!

My vit d tablets that mr s gave me have run out - has anyone ordered these online?

Morning sunny! Yay I hope this is your month. I think I prob ovulated yest!

Not ordered online-but I usually get them from holland and barret I know they do an online service.

Hey guys
Hope u all had a good weekend?
Hope - how r u? Is it ur 7 week
Scan soon?
Dildoos-are u testing soon?
Fingers crossed!
Free-any day now!! :)

Having a slightly crappy day.
A friend just had her baby yest and my due date for no 3 was the same as her due date (next week). I'm really happy for her, but feeling sorry for myself. I didn't think the due dates would upset me after 3...but looks like it still does. Need to try keep busy this week...lets hope 2015 is a better year. Although I said that on new yrs 2014..

Hi Ladies

Sorry I vanished - lost the page somehow?! Looks like super ovs, and the scans and pregnancies are progressing v.well...so exciting!! :)

It feels weird to be 'out of the game' this month. Not sure I like it at all. Its become my norm tracking everything and the different meds at different times :(

Trying - I know how you feel about dates so sending a big hug! (this time last year I just found out I was pregnant, 2nd baby due on that same date and then obviously last weeks saga). Like you lots of positivity for 2015!!

Hi determined.
Did u manage to contact Louise. I'm
Sorry about the last few weeks how have u been? Hopefully ur body will
Recover quickly and u get back to tracking when ur ready x

Yes I did, she was lovely. She explained that it was most likely (although never 100% certain) a chromosomal issue to fail so quickly rather than immune issue and to have a month off and I can continue with Super Ov next cycle. (Gutted I spent all that money on the intralipids but you can't take a chance can you :))

I also went to my GP who sent me for a scan a the EPU just in case as I was having some twinges/tenderness on the left and they confirmed what I already knew. My GP has now offered to refer me on the NHS but I am not sure exactly what they will test for? (Does anyone know?)

Physically everything is fine (apart from some headaches!?) but emotionally I am not sure. One minute I am just fine and consider myself quite fortunate the other I am devastated and panicking that maybe there is an issue with 'us' or perhaps the PCOS is producing dodgy eggs!?

I really struggle with not knowing so trying to remain upbeat and busy :)
