Intralipid Infusion Ghost??

[indigofire]

Wondering if anyone has done an intralipid infusion or has any information on it. My clinic is starting it as a new thing. Ghost? What are your thoughts on it?

Thanks.

My clinic never does it. Our REs are aware of the literature on this, but not convinced.

Hi Indigofire,

I am from Ireland and my old clinic who i did 6 attempts with (4 failed and 2 ended in miscarriage) werent convinced of Intralipids either but we were desperate and changed to a clinic that did, its very simple 1st session is done 1 week into stims, then you have your 2nd a week after transfer if you get pregnant you get another session at 6 wks pg and then at 9 wks pg. It worked 1st time for us with the new clinic (7th attempt) but we also were given extra meds to support the pregnancy so also from transfer to 12 wks pg i took: Heperin, Aspirin, Clexane injections, Estrogen tablets, glucophage for my pcos and progesterone suppositories till 17 wks pg. These drips dont do any harm and if you are like us and desperate you would try anything. Our new clinic highly recommended them for recurrent miscarriages or multiple failed attempts, they have one of the highest success rates in Ireland. Best of luck xxxx

i also had 4 failed ivf and desperate to do anything, but never heard about "Intralipid Infusion" , what is that??
i know it supresses the immune system, but can anyone explain how it is done ????

i did intralipid infusion for NK cell treatment. I know a lot of clinics don't believe in they hype but i figured what would it hurt. The first infusion i only had to pay 30 for the intralipids and the infusion was done at my clinic and covered under insurance. the 2nd infusion i couldn't do at the clinic so had to pay $200 for the drugs and infusion. From what i have been told they really don't know how it works but somehow it suppresses the NK cells so they don't attack the embryo. After 8 weeks of pregnancy they say the embryo is big enough that the nk cells won't can't attack or something like that.

Many REs consider it "snake oil".
