Natural killer cells

[popchick75]

The Czech clinic doctor got back to me. They want me on 5mg prednisone before transfer and 10 after. I guess that is enough in their eyes. I hope so, really need a sticky bean! We did the wire transfer of full pmt today and saturday down reg lupron shot. Wish me luck ladies, Dec 7/9 here we come!

Good luck!!!

Mandy, congrats!! Let this be a sticky bean. Was it a natural bfp then?
Thanks for the thread too!

Morning honey you are up early.! I've been awake since 3.30am..... 40 mg of prednisilone is to blame,thankfully it's a day off today...

Yes this is a natural pregnancy, after the miscarriage in August and the uterine biopsy in late September I took advantage of the fact that both increase fertility chances..... I am shocked.....
I am worried of course about chromosome issues, as at my age of 42 it can be a huge gamble.... But hey people my age do have healthy children, so I am remaining positive...

mandy, congratulations!! H&H 9 months!

Can I ask how did you know you have NK cells? was it blood test or did you have to have uterine biopsy?

 

[mandy1971]

Briss I had the biopsy done by dr quenby at coventry hospital.. It's done privately at the cost of £360, that includes her consultation and a follow up call after the results are available from the biopsy.... I am glad I had it done, I wasn't worried about wasting the money as it was something I would have gladly paid to rule it out... Unfortunately I have raised levels.. Are you thinking of having testing done..?

 

[Briss]

I had hysteroscopy with biopsy 1.5 years ago it came as normal but I do not know if they were looking at NK cells. I really do not want to have another one done. Is it possible to just do a blood test to find that out? My thyroid and antibody bloods came normal, does it help at all?

 

[mandy1971]

I know dr shehata at "the miscarriage clinic "in London looks at blood levels, I believe you can be referred as an NHS patient through your gp... Have a google, the staff will speak to you over the phone....alternatively you can pay him privately.... I think however it is more accurate via the biopsy... I would doubt the biopsy you had before was looking at natural killer cells as far as I know there are only 2 places in the uk that do it honey...but chase your gp up about it anyway xxx

It was 11 at night over here (Canada). You've been through enough, it's Santa's perfect angel gift to you. No more m/c this one will work!! Yes women can still have babies at 42, just get the non-invasive downs test if your nuchal translucency test comes out with any questions. My gf is in week 38, 42 years old with a boy in her belly. They had to go this route and everything turned out fine. It's your turn Mandy!!

Oh bless you 2 have, thanks.... And right back at you with the baby gift for Xmas.... You deserve it just as much xxx

OMG I'm so sorry! I think over in Europe you have much more access to information, testing and treatment. In Canada I've contacted a doctor in Toronto who basically said Canadians need to travel out of country for testing and treatment.
I can only imagine how devistated you are with 3 not implating. Were you on anything with your treatment?
