Immunology Testing

[Samandpoppy]

Hey Juniper,
I also found Dr S very helpful. if you call his rooms, his assistant will organise the appointment etc if you want to go. Even though the testing in Sydney is supposed to be the best, I ended up having the NK cell test in Melbourne with Dr Nick at Monash IVF, Lynne Bermister is at Monash IVF too. My levels was at 8, and 10 is the level where he starts to use a full prednisolone and clexhane treatment. As it stands I will do a short course of prednisolone, just 5 days, plus a few other things on a "Colorado Protocol".

What I really wanted to say was that the biopsy is no big deal, I thought it would be, but just like a pap smear, a little more uncomfortable. If you have had a few rounds of IVF though you get so used to people poking you up there that it really was not big deal. Also they wanted to do the test between day 21 and 26 of your cycle.

cheers and good luck
