Immune /natural killer cell treatment when ttc or pregnant (aka the 17th pred thread!)

[Hula2]

This is a thread for those diagnosed with high or very high natural killer cells and trying to concieve or are pregnant and taking steroids/intralipids etc

Newcomers very welcome

Good thoughts drttcc! Ur right no harm will be done, u will feel more proactive and u might even get 2 eggs fertilised and get twins haha?! I hope it works quickly for u, the waiting is such a bugger!

I was telling dh we should get his soerm checked it must have gone up with the meds. Nooooo way could a natural preg be achieved with his serverly low levels!

Ok I'm about to loose the plot now!!!!!!! Even dh who is a cool as cucumber just rang them for a update and got told anytime before 7 someone will ring?!!!

Ah you poor thing! Any chance you can go out a film on? Run an errand?

I'm watching sex and the city on back to back! We did go out and then came back thinking they would def call by early afternoon!!! Ps where is that gluten free pudding place u mentioned. I'm being totally gluten free since the bfp(big fat of diff it made to my bloody tnf)

Hi Ladies I did SO after 5 cycles of trying and got a BFP on the second SO cycle - (sadly it was another m/c tho). This time I've got a positive second natural cycle after that m/c - (this is also turning out to be a Chemical I think as my HCG is only 18!!!) But I've heard you've more chance of getting pregnant the 2-3 cycles after a miscarriage - and this has been the case for me! (sadly none of them has stuck so far!!!!) But I always bare that in mind when planning ttc. (Don't know if this helps at all!!!!)

Keeping everything crossed for you Trying!!!! xx

Feeling shit today! 5 times now and each time the pregnancy gets shorter!! I'm starting to wonder if adoption might be our only chance to have a family but not sure how I feel about that atm.

So sorry you're having such a tough time Billy :( Have you tried anything to improve egg quality?

Trying- there are so many amazing GF places in London! There's one bakery/pudding place called Cookies and Scream bakery that I'm dying to go to. Address is The Market Hall, Camden Lock PI, London, NW1 8AF. The place I'd mentioned before is called Beyond Bread and it's about a 10 min walk from the Harley St clinic.

Hi Billy. Sorry to hear ur hcg levels :( how r u and dh?
It really is beyond shit! Nothing to make it better. Except to say u can't make any descions when ur upset/hurting. Give it some time and reevaluate and if u have the strength try again.....have u told mr s? What did he say?

Address for Beyond Bread is: 2 Charlotte Place, London, W1T 1SB

Looks yum and they even have cheesecake yay!

It was very yum!!

It's over. Hcg only 182. Am devasted. Not sure how to continue anymore :(
Also pissed off my hcg is wasn't done all weekend. Need to book a review appt and then do my I've cycle next year. If it happens a 6th time I'm done with all this

It's that stupid tnf. Not sure what steps are, they want a repeat hcg on wed to be sure sure and I'm to continue on all meds. And then when that confirms it all I can book a review appt and hopefully take another round of humira which completes humira and means I can start Ivf

Trying I'm so sorry :( This is an absolute bitch.... There aren't any words I can think of for a result like this. I don't know why this is happening and it just feels so unfair. I really do believe it will be worth it all in the end. So so sorry hun.

Oh trying, I'm so sorry to ready your status. Like dtprttc says there are no words. Look after yourself and sending you hugs x

Trying - this utterly sucks...so sorry. Life is so unfair. Praying for a miracle on wednesday, if anyone deserve s it you do.

:(
Don't think this will work out for us. Oh dear.

Big hug. Xx

Im so sorry Trying... Please try stay open minded. I know I would prepare myself for the worst on Wed too., and maybe that is ok.. But longer term, you're still so young. You might need a break and to live a bit and then who knows what science will have discovered ... But I really think you'll get the luck you truly deserve with argc and IVF next year .. Everything is lined up., the knowledge, the support, your stars (surely?!)
But.. Still crossing everything for Wed xxx

Hey guys
Pulled myself together....

Wanted to say thanks for al being so lovely and kind and behind me with this. I really appreciated ur wonderful kind words and support. I really thought this magic bfp would be it...the only upside is that we for once can see why this is happening. I react really badly to preg-my nk and my tnf were through the roof and it was prob too late to do anything about it....now Argc know this they will aggressively treat my immunes and I'll prob need ivig while I'm doing the actual Ivf process as well as during the 2ww...asp explains why each loss is getting sooner and sooner....

Nothing is going to happen till the new year so for now it's another Xmas with just me and hubby. I do love him so dearly, breaks my heart to watch him watch me fall apart. Thinking holiday somewhere far away.

For now it's chocolate cake as I've been told there is a 1percent nance of a miracle so I can't get down my sorrows just yet.

Hope we all get our rainbow babies
Thanks again xxxxx

Thanks rosa

Are u ok? U been let home?

That was drown my sorrows.......although I would love to do that by downing a bottle of Malbec!

So sorry trying, if anyone deserves a miracle it's you. Thinking of you x

Trying I'm so sorry, it breaks my heart that you have to go through all this again. If there is any positive in it, you at least know what's going wrong and ARGC can attack it at full pelt next time. I really wish there was more I could say to help make it a little easier to bear but I know that it's only time and tlc that can really help.
You've got more restraint than me - id be heading straight for a bottle of Sauvingnon Blanc!
You and DH Definitely deserve a lovely holiday somewhere. Regroup and take the new year on head first.
Lots of love Hun, you know we're here for you x

Trying.. Consider Cartegena Colombia for a trip far away.. Beautiful, loads of character, by the sea, Islands in reach, amazing food and very romantic. Can recommend good hotel for any budget too.
Im so sure you will get there.. Your so strong. And as you say it's great to be tackling the next one (IF you are indeed unlucky on Wed ) with new, important insight.
I'm ok I think.. 6 hours in hospital, more bloods today and back tomorrow. Worried as movement is reducing and the OC itch is increasing.. Pretty sure will have my c-section before the current Dec date. Just hope he's ok until then (and me too!)
Take care x

I'm sure he's hanging in there rosa! Ur nearly there
Thanks for the idea..will look into it...
