Natural Killer Cells

[NatoPMT]

Hi girls

I am a TTCALer/PAL poster, new pregnancy at 7 weeks after an mmc at 11 weeks (7+2) last March. Im posting in here as well as assisted conception

I was starting IVF when i got pregnant naturally, i continued with my appointment for ivf and agreed to being monitored by ARGC

i just got my natural killer cells back as follows:

CD3 are 'sightly' raised
CD19+5 are '8 points above normal'

does anyone know what the above results mean? how raised are the CD19+5 at '8 points above normal' - the clinic says i will probably need transfusions at £1,000 a time, blood tests every couple of days, immune testing every 3 weeks and daily injections of steroids and clexane if they are to treat me

I feel like they are basically saying i need transfusions and care, to the cost of £7k or thereabouts, or lose the baby.

I dont know what to do and am panicking and feel completely cornered.

Any advice / experience?

Thanks in advance

I can't offer you any advice just a hug. I hope it all works out for you

Thanks Emma. I managed to get the meds which seemed to be the most appropriate...no transfusions, but 10mg steroids and 20mg clexane as a precaution (which is much more manageable than the £1,000 a go transfusions.)
