Hi littlebear,

I am from Ireland and after 5 failed attempts and 2 miscarriages i moved to a clinic that did test for natural killer cells as we needed to explore every option available. My old clinic doesnt really believe in these cells but after 6 attempts and still no baby we were desperate to try anything. Anyway new clinic sends these tests over to Chicago and they diagnosed i have a very high level of these cells and recommended Intralpid drips along with steroids, aspirine, clexane, and all the other routine ivf meds. At 8 wks pregnant i was retested for these cells and my levels dropped to just below normal, i did one more session of Intralpid (had 4 in total) at 9 wks to keep levels low. I had my 12 week scan yesterday and so far (Please God) baby is perfect, i have never made it this far and have great faith in my clinic. The treatment was very simple and easy and i firmly believe this is why i am still pregnant, some clinics dont believe in such treatment as not enough evidence to support it but we were willing to try anything and so far our dreams are coming true. Best of luck with what ever you decide .

Hey jenice,

Thanks a million it means a lot,its been a long road but we are getting there (please God). I cant believe your clinic never tested for morphology before thats very strange, we had to do icsi as j has a very low sperm count about 200,000 and low motility and morphology but they were always able to pick out good sperm from this. I am gonna keep all me fingers and toes crossed for you and will follow your journey on the boards for june. This has got to be your time
