Hello Emily. I'm an oldie on all of this, go back over 6 years. Lately, I've been lurking, haven't in over a year. I have good news and bad. I have a 100%...
Thanks Zoe- I really appreciate you thinking of me. I ended up getting some Medrol from a friend and took it for a few days. I am nearing the end of an IUI...
Hi girls, Sorry to be contraversial with what I'm going to ask, but I think it's important that we all examine all aspects of what we are told, and keep an...
Hi Shilpa, No need to apologize in my opinion! This is a board to freely discuss everything. I have heard this same thing, I think on Coulam's and Sher's...
Hi Shilpa, You're welcome. Let me know if you need the Dex for another cycle. I think it's 10 days' worth. I am so sorry about your BFN! :( I think your...
Zoe- I am glad you are progressing so well! I can't believe you are 21 weeks!!! My NKs did seems to come down when I had a virus in the 2nd trimester, but it...
Ladies, I had an extremely severe reaction to an ivig infusion I had 8 weeks ago. I have been in agonizing pain, and barely able to work or get out of bed....
Panda, that's extremely disturbing- thanks for letting us know. Would you mind telling us a bit more about the Immune Complex Reaction? Is it particularly...
I am so sorry that you have to go through physical and mental pain! Are there any possible tests to determine if this is preventable? Did you get your...
Katharine, Thanks you! I actually meant to say Doppler study (for bloodflow) not biophysical. I didn't even ask about the latter. I do want to confirm...
Panda, I am so sorry about your terrible reaction! And to add fuel to the fire that DS has not been helpful :( I personally feel that DS is somewhat absent...
Hi everyone, I am new to the group and hoping someone can give me some advice. I am having my first phone consultation with Dr. Stricker in the morning to ...
Lisa, Firstly I am so sorry about your loss! To the left of the screen in "files" there is a file "how to prepare for your RI consult." This is a great...
Shilpa, Interesting. Though I’m not sure I completely follow DC’s reasoning for why treating low LAD with LIT does not increase the chance of a successful...
Panda, GO TO THE ER and tell the doctor that you’re having an immune complex reaction to IVIG. Don’t wait for DS to come up with a treatment plan. You...
Katherine and Zoe, I have been reading along. Katherine, so happy you are so close. I do think that IVIg at 34weeks was not necessary according to DB, but I...
Thanks Zoe! I will take a look at the files. Do you know much about Dr. Milki at Stanford? He is the one that told me about Dr. Beer's clinic. We switched to...
Lisa, You're welcome. I don't know of Dr. Milki but I am glad he did some testing and referred you to DB's clinic. You do have a chance and you're doing the...
Hi Liz, Everyone is sick right now! I'm going to call Chris tomorrow and see if it's ok to wait longer to test to let the virus NKs (if any) settle down. I...
Heidi, thanks for the input! I will definitely try to get the study and study info from Dr. Coulam. She's not the only one who thinks LIT is not a useful...
Hello to you too Maryann :) I of course remember you and the birth of your little man. He was a handsome little guy :) I bet now he is an independent little...
Hello to you too Maryann :) I of course remember you and the birth of your little man. He was a handsome little guy :) I bet now he is an independent little...
Shilpa, This is very interesting! I worked with an RE who worked under Dr Beers, and she was a believer in LAD but not really sold on IVIG for low LAD. I had...
Hi everybody, I went to see my RE this morning. I will be starting my next cycle of IVF this month. Since I had about 4 losses very early in the pregnancy (6...
Meredith, thanks so much for your info and congrats on your sons!!! Your story certainly seems convincing - at least that either LIT or Heparin did wonders for...
Shilpa, I meant to ask in my post last night what your LAD levels are and whether you had LIT? My LAD level for IgG-B is 0 and for IgG-T is 8…so virtually...
I'm sorry..I should've clarified. My LAD's were lower than the results that I got right after treatment. Right after LIT my levels were like 85% and 90%..when...
