How far into your pregnancies did you get before you found out you had elevated natural killer (NK) cells?

[Nikigeorgi]

Hi all, for those of you who have had multiple losses and later found out that you had high/abnormal NK cells, would you mind sharing how far along you got to in your pregnancies?

I’ve had 3 losses (chemical at just under 5 weeks, MMC 8-9 weeks, MMC 9-10 weeks). I’m now pregnant again and will be 5 weeks tomorrow. I don’t think it’s a chemical this time. After RMC investigations it was found that I have a slightly high result from one of the blood clotting tests (literally just over the parameter to be prescribed 150mg aspirin). However I can’t help but worry that high NK cells hasn’t been ruled out. I’m now wondering if I should pay for myself to get tested asap.

From what I’ve heard, most MC’s which have turned out to be caused by high NK cells have ended earlier, pre 6 weeks. I guess I’m trying to figure out if my losses at 8+ weeks means it’s unlikely my recurrent losses are down to this.

Would appreciate any responses. Thanks so much x

I only found out through the ivf program I was on and so i was on a treatment plan before conception to mitigate this issue. I think the low steroid dose did the trick. This is a common treatment but not on NHS.

It's v confusing and hard to find a route cause. Good luck with your journey.
