High Natural Killer Cells #2

[dmaree1967]

I'm new around here and starting Lucrin next month. I am looking for someone who does Intralipids in the Brisbane/ Sunshine Coast area. Anyone know where I could get them done? I am actually doing my cycle overseas.

Scruffy!
I have not been on the thread for awhile now but decided to see what was happening & saw you had your bub! I'm soooo happy for you my friend, Oliver is a beautiful name & I wish you & DH all the best
Just letting you know we are 6 weeks preg so Dr Ms treatment has worked again for us! we will be keeping a close eye in this one after all the heartache we've experienced with the loss of Cairo but I am feeling a lot more confident & somewhat calmer then the first time...
All the best my friend & give that little man a big kiss from me!

Hello ladies,

I am very excited to announce the safe arrival of Oliver on 8th October by emergency C Section.

He is perfect in every way. We have just got home today and I still well up at our little miracle man who I truly believe would not be here without Dr M.

I hope that all of you get to experience this amazing feeling in the not to distant future.

Congratulation Kiwi, wonderful news. When I found this forum I read through all the posts and your story and Cairo made me cry, such a difficult thing to go through and so fantastic that you have some good news now. You deserve a very smooth and relaxing pregnancy.

Thanks Sootmay & Nidhulaine & welcome to all the other ladies!
This is the 2nd thread dedicated to us ladies with High NK cells, the original one was started by our dear Helenmac who has given a lot of us insight into this whole immune issue that affects us all.
I need I go back further & catch up who's who unless someone is open to doing a roll call with an update of where everyone is up to?
As mentioned for those who know my story after 7 ivf transfers and trying the Bondi Protocol 3 times we deccided to seek out Dr M. I did full stim cycle through my IVF clinic with PGD & came out with 5 great blasts all tested prefectly. We fell pregnant under Dr Ms protocol first go but unfortunately we lost our little angel Cairo at 21.5 weeks. We have now had our healing time & we decided it was time to try again. So i got in touch with Dr M again who did another marker test for my Nk levels & they were back to where they were before Cairo 21% so still extremley high, he decided that the last protocol worked so I started Dexamtheson 3 x daily & lower dose of clexane - 20mg until transfer. at the end of Sept had an intralipid & on the 5th Oct we transferred one perfectly PGD tested blast & hey presto it worked again. Had another intralipid last Tues & upped my dex to 4 x daily along with upping clexane to 40mg & 2 x 400mg progesterone. So here I am 6 weeks pregnant & have utte faith in Dr Ms treatment! I also understand your frustrations with G but give her a little beak she is one person looking after all of us. I think they really need to invest in another full timer to help her out!
I wish all of you success in your journey & look forward to seeing some more Dr M miracle babies!

Yay Kiwi!!

So excited about your pregnancy news, I know it would have been hard to hear about Oliver's arrival with Cairo's due date around the same time. Hopefully this new pregnancy has eased a little of the heartache.

I will be stalking to follow your journey ;-) All the best, so so very happy for you xxx

Dmaree there is an FS in Brisbane (I think) named warren, everyone refers to him as wazza - I don't know his last name, but he does intralipids. Maybe one of the qld ladies can confirm.

For those who don't know we do have a fb group, if you'd like to join just PM one of us with your email address and we can add you that way. Most of us are on there more often than we are here as its a bit more private and personal

[dmaree1967]

Hey Bella thanks, you don't know how helpful your answer was! I DO know Wazza (real name Warren DeAmbrosis). I had sought a second opinion from him about five years ago after my OE IVF's. He's lovely! I'm so glad I posted here, because I'll give them a call Monday and see if I can get an appointment.
And thanks also for the heads up re the Facebook page. Will check that out also!

I have not been on here for ages either as Facebook is easier
Scruffy a massive congratulations on the birth of Oliver another inspiration to us x

Dmaree I am a gold Coast girl the only Bris specialist I know of is warren de ambrosis but there could be b others and don't know sunny coast waiting times for wazza are crazy like 6 months but I'm sure if you explained your situation you might need able b to get in before you need to plus he has a waiting list and you can sometimes get a cancelation good luck

To all the girls taking Dexamethasone..... man alive am I grumpy, cranky, feel like I'm on a high, waking up at 3am, and generally feeling highly unsettled and irritable. I just Googled a few sites and found this is a common, unpleasant side effect... yay! I'm taking 3 per day, so I guess the only thing I can try and do is take the last one earlier, but I was trying to space them nice and evenly - as there must be a reason for 3 separate doses a day. Lucky my DH is overseas until next Thursday, then we've only got 5 days till we go, so I'm sure I'll still manage to get him on the plane with me, if he hasn't divorced me before! Naturally I'll keep taking it, and Dr M said I'll only be on it for 9 weeks - but by golly its evil! I can't put it down to anything else, as I'm never ever like this. Just thought I would put it out there and maybe some support stories will help me BREATHE !!!!
