Immune/NK cells pred thread #31

[VenusStarr]

Hi all, we've fill up the last thread, so starting a new one. Will start tagging but feel free to add anyone I miss!

I just took symprove 3 months prior to trying. Currently 20 weeks with Dr S and was on his complex protocol (discharged as of today)

These are the 2 that you want in your probiotics for womb/vaginal flora xxx

@Gizmo1983 Thanks, looks like Optibac has that in. How many did you take a day?

Does anyone have experience of taking antibiotics in case of infection? I've not done the testing, but have a course ready to go. What's the best approach to taking it? I was planning on the cycle before my next FET? How many days worth? I just want to eliminate anything that could possibly wrong in the uterine environment - desperate for the next one to work after 2 back to back early IVF losses

@Sunflower360 just the recommended dose optibac are the ones I use. And then I take a cheap amazon one as an added extra lol.
@MotherOfShihTzus if it’s doxycycline I believe it’s 2 weeks worth xxx.
does anyone know how to start us a new page as we are on p40 I would do it myself but wouldn’t have a clue how to do it. Can’t believe yesterday we signed up to 3 ivf cycles feeling quite overwhelmed today xxx

Hi everyone. Sorry for disappearing. Feeling quite disconnected at the moment. Not sure if I don't need to increase the antidepressants. I also think I'm coming down with something.

Thanks for checking in @Gizmo1983 how are you feeling? Have the pains subsided now? I hope things have settled ❤️
Just seen your message about the ivf. It is overwhelming, take it easy in yourself. I think I put so much pressure on myself.

@MotherOfShihTzus is it Doxycycline? I had that, was a 2 week course. I started on cd1.

Thank you @lozzmax how are you? Dr S is against pgta for us too. We can't make day 5 blasts now, so it's a moot point as I'll be doing a day 3 transfer, if we decide to go back to it. My therapist said last week that she thinks I do want to do the final round of ivf, but I've got anticipatory grief 😔

How did your scan go @Sunflower360 hope all is on track for your FET. How you feeling about it?

I hope everyone is ok ❤️❤️

I've tried to tag everyone. Not sure if we want to fill this one, or just go to the new one? X

Hey @VenusStarr if you need to increase them you go for it I totally know that feeling you are talking about and it is just terrible. I have this terrible habit of when it’s just me in the house crawling into bed and just sleeping I think it’s just to block everything out and I know it’s really not good for me I do need to get myself on some meds myself just I’ve tried a few times and my gp was so reluctant I just can’t be bothered to fight with them. I almost have the feeling now about the ivf that you describe, ivf ( to me ) was the safety net that i thought i would never need falling pregnant was never my issue it was keeping them but now i can’t even get pregnant. I keep thinking of what I could do with that money and I’ll be fine if it works and feel even worse if it doesn’t but I’m sure we all have thoughts along the same line it’s just really not fair is it? If these 3 don’t work then we’ve factored in having a go with donor eggs (looking at Spain) and then we’re done.
The pains have all settled thank goodness I was really scared last week that something had gone really wrong I’m testing out the trigger from the hcg injection as it’s test day Friday/Saturday as not sure when i ovulated but I have very little hope . I can totally get you being so hesitant about that last go and if you can bring yourself to do it you should go for it but you need to be mentally ready. I was having my Intralipids with a lovely lady who sadly had cancer as a teen this was before they froze eggs before chemo so she was donor eggs and they’d tried numerous times and were done then her hubby said do one more if you want and they did and it worked. Also a lady in my street had done ivf so many times and gave up and fell naturally at 43. I keep thinking of these stories to pull me through. My husband every month is this is the month I can feel it, you look different etc and he’s been doing this for a year he drives me mad with it but even he is relieved we are starting ivf, it hasn’t so much taken a toll on our marriage but the timing and pressure has us both worn down. I’m having counselling as well I’m thinking of training to be a counsellor in this field when my journey has ended either way I’d like to give something back. Any progress on the tattoo ❤️. Thinking of you
