Hi Gabbi

I know how frustrating it is, just looking for a reason to understand constant failure. At least Sher suggested it could be the nk cells with me.
Did you have any indication of nk cell activity?

However having a dq alpha diagnosis would have explained the years of failure so much easier rather than nk cells. I guess nk cells is still hard to accept.

Doctors ive spoken to are my doctor at Monash, had a quick chat to a couple of scientists doing work on implantation failure. Gab Kovaks at monash is working on a study for this and Im thinking of letting them take a biopsy of my endometrium next pick up, at least I can contribute something to the world of infertility. Their theory is very simply, protein imbalances in the endometrium/uterine. Did not go into detail with them. Although the scientist I spoke to said they were making some major revelations. Long time before we see the results. When I told her about nk cells she implied that it was all related.

I also spoke with gamal matthias. He did a phone consult with me. He tweaked my protocol a little and suggested the intralipids between day 7-10. The plan is to fly to sydney or try and get it done here. I have not worked out the details yet.

Dr matthias suggested i switch to dexamethasone which is supposed to be a stronger steroid. He also has me on it earlier than normal. He said that since youve given prednisolone a try to try something new. My understanding is that dr sher used to use dexamethasone quite a lot before switching to prednisone.

I also had a consultation with Dr sacks who confirmed my nk cells but I never went back for treatment. The idea of flying to Sydney just for a steroid was not convincing enough. I think he only uses steroid treatment? That is prednisolone? Is that right??

Good luck with your appointment today, would love to hear if he sheds any further light on your situation.

Let me know if i could share anything else with you.
