Private / NHS contradicting each other

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has has a similar experience to me and would be able to help at all?

I have had 4 losses, 3 miscarriages and a ectopic pregnancy which resulted in removal of my left tube ( my most dominant ovary).

Myself and my partner have gone private and I got diagnosed with borderline high NK activity by Dr Shehata. He has put me on a treatment plan of the following:

Pregnacare plus
2 X vitamin D tablets
Asprin (75mg ) ( every day)

I then from ovulation am on:
Prednisone
Ompreazole
And progesterone as well as the normal vitamins / asprin.

I then have been to st marys hospital where the consultant there has asked me to stop all these medications for 10 weeks and go for a HSG test on my remaining tube to which I am. After all if my tube is blocked then all this treatment would be pointless anyways.

My question is? Has anyone been under ST Mary's hospital? If so what do they suggest?

They are telling me they don't agree with Dr Shehata and I'm not sure who's plan to follow now.

It's been 6 months on this treatment and I'm not falling pregnant as easy as I used to, we have been trying for over 2 years now and I'm getting so worked up that it isn't going to happen for us.

Does anyone know what st marys protocol is and what they may suggest?

Hi @readmycards I'm sorry for your losses. I'm just about to have a biopsy for nk cells, so can't answer your questions, but there is a thread over on the conception board and there's a few ladies who have seen Dr S and followed his plan, so they might be able to help? I'll see if I can link it here for you.
