Boofle, I'm doing ok AF has arrived so know that it the end of this cycle. I'm going to be looking at starting cycle sometime in April so looking at ER/ET end of May beginning June Fx'd you will be the same xx
 
GL Ash!

ET for me at 1115, I'm excited, but nervous.

Good luck to you Mells! Do you know how many embryos you have? Is this a 3dt or 5dt?

All 11 of my eggs fertilized with ICSI, but not sure how many are still going. I wanted to call yesterday, but DH said that I should just wait. He knows me well because I would stress about the numbers. I'm doing a 5 day transfer.
 
Mells good luck with the ET...how have you been feeling since the ER?

Ash - whooop whooop! I cant wait to hear everything! good luck hun!

Goodluck with your transfer!! My clinic usually calls every 2 days after the ER to give you updates...thought it was the same everywhere

That is wonderful news about 100% fertilization!! Gotta love ICSI! Can't wait to hear how they all did.. and how your transfer goes! :thumbup:
 
Hi all,

I've just called my clinic for my NK cells test and they won't give me results over the phone.
I'm guessing this means I have raised NK cells??
Hoping to speak to my doctor today. Just want to know what it means and cost implication??

Ali- do you know much about it? Xx
 
Mells - let us know how you got on today! Good luck

Ash - hope it all went well.

Xx

I do know more than I ever wanted to know about NK cells. In the US they test you for different types of NK cells, and then they split the sample into 3, and test how the first sample attacks a type of cell that is similar to the embryo. Then they infuse IVIg into the second sample and see how it attacks, and finally they take the third sample and infuse it with intralipids and see how it attacks. So with this information they can tell whether IVIg or intralipids have effect on your NK cells. Then they can determine if using IVIg or intralipis will help. For the test I did, my NK without any infusion attack rate was 12.9, and it needs to be under 10. With intralipids it was 9.9 and with IVIg it was 8.3. The cost here in the US for IVIg is $3000 per month, and intralipids are $1000 per month. You would only have to do the infusions for the first trimester so 3-4 infusions my FS said. I think there are some drugs that can be administered that help as well? I have yet to ask my FS about those options yet. Plus I have no idea what types of tests they run in the UK? :shrug:

I know my FS has to sign off on all results before they are given to the patient regardless of whether they are normal or not. So maybe that is what is going on? I hope for your sake you don't have elevated NK cells! I hear the infusions are horrible :nope:
 
Ali - thanks for that. I didn't hear back at all today from my FS so hopefully he will call tomorrow.

I guess if I have it then it is better to know and try and treat it with the next cycle!!

Time will tell...
 
mells - I hope your transfer went well and you're resting up letting the embies snuggle in!

AFM - I just got back from the ER...everything went well even though I was nervous about going under anestesia! They put an anti nausea medication in the IV this time since I got sick last time and I'm feeling 90% better than last time! I'm still in a little bit of pain but they did give me pain meds before I left so I'm just trying to rest up now. They prescribed me dostinex to help with OHSS because my estrogen levels were around 5,000 yesterday so I'll be on that for 8 days along with medrol for 7 and azithromicine (sp?). The azithromicine is only a 1 day pill so thank god for that!

Oh they got 25 eggs.

I will hear a fertilization report tomorrow morning and I can't wait already! I'm feeling pretty tired though so I'm going to go lay down and watch some TV. I will do personals when I wake up if I'm feeling good. Thank you all for the support! xx :)
