Ella - Welcome to you!!! You have come to the right place. We hope your stay with us is short & sweet 
HTJ - You can rant on us anytime you want, honey. This business is shite & we've all been the victim of ignorant comments - even by people who have been in our situations - WTH!? 
. Maybe she is just insensitive or maybe she is anti-SS couple? Who knows what's really going thru her (thick) head, we can all only guess at that one! But sending huge 
darlin'
Miriam - Wow, you have been thru so much! Thank you for sharing your story. Argh, that's a tough one with getting NK cells tested after an infection? Where do you live anyway? I think you can buy intralipids & have them shipped to you (have heard $50-$60 for the whole lot from a NYC pharmacy), but you'd have to be trained on how to do the injection yourself (or DH or friend, etc). I think you have gotten the farthest with Immunes testing out of all/most of us, so you may be teaching us a thing or two & I think we all would welcome that! not sure about IUI w/o meds, bu I would also think you could do w/o meds?! I was thinking that the other day - Dr said IUI was very inexpensive, its the meds that are $$$, so I thought - how are they making their money then? Major meds mark-up is all I can figure...?
As far as medicated cycles, I am hoping to be put on heparin or lovenox after I get back from UK, but I may need something else if RMC Dr. thinks so -?
Chicken - LOL! Thanks for sharing funny story
(I know, not really funny, but it is, right?)
GreekPorn - Glad you are feeling better! Hopefully that thing did burst so it won't be hanging around anymore (mine hung out for months causing shooting pains ) 
OK, so speaking of Immunes, got most of mine back & they are all clear!
Part of me wants to celebrate but part of me questions it because, for example - the NK Cells, is the "normal range" set for things like cancer/other & if so, what is the optimal range for fertility? Also, apparently there are different NK cells in your ute, so I may request the Endo biopsy just in case? The other upside in all of this is that I will have another Dr appt by the time I get back from UK & I can not only get his RMC advice, but also he will go thru the tests with a fine-tooth comb so I'll know then (& feel better) if everything's OK (except for the MTHFR/thrombophilia). I am still awaiting that last test I had to retake tho, as Dr has to go thru it & approve it, then call me today.
You know, my Dr (who I have just recently found out has no experience w/RMC) had said that septums in a ute aren't typically the cause of mc & I think Pad's Dr said that too. But I have accidentally caught many instances that list a septum as a cause of mc, so I googled & a reputable article says "the most drastic study" quotes healthy term babies after septum removal to be from 4.4% to 87.5%! I got pregnant w/my last one literally only 1 week post-surgery, so maybe I just had the perfect storm going on (1 week post-surg & post-April mc)? If Dr would have told me to wait to heal, OK I would have bitched about it, but I would have waited in the end. I specifically asked & he said OK even tho nurses said no. Aye carumba 
It could be 10 diff things, who knows... Maybe next Dr will shed some light & throw everything at me anyway... I'm so impatient - I need to take a chill pill 
(thank God for this trip bc I'd be bouncing off the walls like a Mexican jumping bean!)
Have a great day ladies!

People will say the most ignorant things sometimes like Oh she looks just like her Daddy (that one I get all the time and although they think its a positive thing it makes me sad inside because it reminds me that I couldnt have a biological child that looks like me I know that sounds terrible and I love her sooo much its just a reminder of my inadequacy) She is her own person and it doesnt matter that she doesnt look like us she looks like herself!
hope everyone has had a good weekend and beginning of the week. I feel quite confused today because in the UK we've had a lovely long weekend with 2 extra days off because of the bank (public) holidays....this is because of the Queens diamond Jubilee 
so see what they say and how comfy you feel with the doctor and his team. Ill keep my fingers crossed xx
I hope it is something that can be managed and Im sure the glasses will just look fab!!
are you off from school this week?? hope you are doing something lovely!! 
and my DH is 38), it's so nice to be able to share your feelings with women that are in the same position that you are. Good luck with your testing, mighty!
I am glad you have that appointment now though and am hoping the tests transfer and things go smoothly. 
real soon!!
