Hi Stardust. The NHS won't do anything re: NK cells so not even worth asking in most cases. St Mary's don't tend to get too involved in NK cells as they don't think the test is accurate enough. If you want to go down this route then try Dr Shehata on Harley Street as he is something of a specialist in this area. BUPA will still cover this I should think. Alternatively, try and find a consultant who will prescribe prednisolone on the off chance (which is what I have done). Good luck!
Oh thank you so much! That is exactly what I needed to hear. Its all well and good me googling away but itf I dont get very far its all a waste of time. my RCM consultant who I have seen so far at my local hospital seems quite good and even gave me asprin, clexane and progesterone on my 4th pregnancy, even though he hadnt had the 2nd blood test confirmed. so he was more of the thinking that we cant make you miscarry but your history suggests you will so do you want to try this! I think I might see at my app in april what his thoughts are. Plus I work on the unit where he works and see him alot whilst he is on the ward. I try not to make contact as I am soooo tempted to just bombard him but I know I cant. grrrrr HELP LOL.
I did the same as Lamburai stardust - my consultant was quite easy to convince and think he's quite enjoying seeing how the journey goes.
My scan today showed a very active little baby with arms and legs who is 9 1/2 weeks - a whole week more than any of my last 3 have made it to. Had some bleeding this wek so very relieved to see all well.
Chilli, sooooo pleased to hear this news! I have everything crossed for you and this is your forever baby, I will be ttc again in a few weeks so hoping to join you!!!!
Hi ladies may i join you? I have just got back from hospital after being refered yest to epau, in brief i had a abdominal scan yest she could see 11 weeks sac but empty! I have a retroverted uterus so she said i needed to go to epau for early scan to make sure!! Here we go again i said!!!

Lady at epau said i need to be referred to a different specialist to the one i was under! I need to be referred to one for recurrent mc! She has given me name etc for my gp an i need to have bloods done which she is sending me the forms for, 1st one me an hubby having which are sent to london for chromosone testing second lot i have to wait til at least 6 weeks after my mc then on day 3 of my cycle!!
I feel numb an so confused!! All i have ever been told is i have low progesterone which i was taking cyclogest twice a day tthis time an also aspirin 75mg!
Can anyone offer any advice thanks in advance xx
Hi Daviess3,
So sorry you are having to join us under these sad circumstances but you will be very pleased to hear we all help and support each other!
I am in a very similar situation to yourself. 4 miscarriages, first one at 13 weeks (heartbeat seen but baby passed at 11 weeks) erpc needed, then 6 weeks early miscarriage at home, 10 week miscarriage (hb seen at 6 weeks) erpc required and then January 6 weeks miscarriage at home.
I have been referred to my local hospital (southend - I see you are Essex but not sure where?) and I have also had all the blood tests done. the one for me and my hubby (karyotyping chomosones) takes 12 weeks almost to the day. it is a long wait but at least you can hopefully rule out this problem. I had all tested come back normal last week. The only one that was positive was for the sticky blood (clotting issue) it was slightly raised but apparently I need 2 positives before they conculde that this is a problem. I am due for this retest end of March (12 weeks from my last miscarriage) I did get pregnant with my 4th before I had clotting test confirmed but was given clexane injections, asprin and progesterone but I still miscarried, doctor also said that this could have nothing to do with the clotting and just wasnt meant to be. So for me, the next step is a follow up app with consultant and results of the 2nd blood test and probably just try a 5th time with all the meds I had with 4th and see what happens, scary thought but I cant give up.
Sorry this goes on a bit but I am assuming this is the route you will most likely be going down now.
Just hope this helps you somehwat. if you have any other questions please ask here or send me a private message.

so happy for you
