I am 35 yo, have no children, have had 4 missed miscarriages (all at approx 6 wks) and have attended the NHS RMC at Kings where all bloods and 3D scan appear normal. I now need another plan. I ahev heard about the controversial NK cell testing and think I should try this route. I know that Quenby at Coventry and Shehata at Harley St seem to be leaders in this field. I wondered how you made your decision about who to see? Shehata seems to be much more expensive but seems like he will test everything and throw the book at it to get a successful outcome. Quenby seems confident in what she offers. I live in London, but am prepared to trave anywhere.
Does anybody have any advice on who to go with please? Thank you very much in advance.

@Alilemon ooo we are in the same boat!!!!

So I decided to go with Sheata! And have my appointment next week!

Super nervous but I just kept hearing about him everywhere so that's what made my decision up! If you would like I could message you after?

I went to see Shehata after 3 miscarriages. Mainly as he was closer and, as you mentioned, his tests seemed more extensive. It is a lot more pricey but he has a great success rate. I had 2 more miscarriages on his plan (one was chromosomal so no drugs in the world would have saved that pregnancy, the other one I never managed to get tested so not sure what happened) and finally gave birth to my DS in December.

I’m sorry about miscarriages and good luck to you OP. If you have any questions about his treatment feel free to message me xx
