Disney; I think NKC takes longer in the UK because it is sent to America! Is that right Kilk? That means yours would be much quicker.
I've been in two minds whether to test for it because there is inconclusive evidence around the treatment and even some bad press over side effects. Though I remember Amanda said she had intrelipids and it was fine I think I may have googled thus too much. So, even if my NKC is high i still may not treat it, so why am I testing for it!? I guess the hope is it says they are low and that can be one less complication
I'm definitely in a better place. Time is such an important healer. Sometimes things feel so bad but give anything time and it does get better.
I asked my doctor about the timing for getting results, and she said 2 days. So... I'm still on track to get tested on 6/20 when I got for my pre-Lupron ultrasound. I stopped googling the controversy around treating NK issues as I realized that there are multiple methods of addressing things, and I was starting to confuse which ones were the bad ones. My doctor treats NK issues with intralipid infusions. I'm putting my faith in my doctor at this point ashes been amazing so far and is one of the top doctors in the field in our area.
I got my other tests results back. Thyroid is still an issue that we are controlling with medication. My AMH surprisingly went up from .64 (or .67? ) in 2013 to 1.08. FSH was 9.9 (up from 7.5 in 2013), estradiol was 36.4, and my prolactin was 5. One of my antiphospholipid antibodies came back high, so I had to get more blood drawn this morning to confirm that result. I think that one was related to a possible clotting issue...I think.
Oh, I forgot to say: Disneyfan, the fact that anyone would ask you to leave from anywhere is truly bizarre to me! You are one of the sweetest, most supportive people in the universe! I don't understand how your presence can be anything but fully welcome!
Awwww...you're so sweet! Thanks!!
Hey guys! So transfer went smoothly yesterday. I was exhausted though, after having been out late the night before at Jerry Seinfeld. Exhaustion and hormones made for a very cranky me last night though! Question, does anyone else's RE suggest BD'ing the night of a FET? Mine does, but I didn't feel super comfortable with it last night (plus the crankiness and tiredness) so we didn't. I'm hoping that doesn't hurt my chances! I googled it's done most clinics say not to though. So I don't know what to think.
Did any of you do anything special after the FET's that worked? My RE suggests 2L of water a day, no sports and no long walks. I'm trying to stay calm and positive, but I'm absolutely terrified.
Amanda - Congrats on being PUPO! My doctor restricts BD'ing after FET and actually puts her patients on bedrest for 2 days following transfer. My acupuncturist believes in lots and lots of protein (like chicken) post transfer. She also pushes for eating pineapple core over the 2 days following transfer as it's believed to help with implantation. I've been advised to avoid consuming anything colder than room temperature, too. Good luck!!!
