    Again, thank you so much for your answers and clarifications !!! This is really helpfull when I am feeling so depressed after 6 miscarriages !!!

    Thank you for the explanation about the ivig in australia. It was hard for me to understand, since comming from Brazil, where this treatment is really common in recurrent miscarriage, I couldn't believe there wasn't such a thing here. Is the one offered by Dr Nick Lolatgis similar to ivig ? Have anyone tried it here ?

    Thank you for your comments alos, blossom 73. Is Dr Mathias an ivf doctor ? Are you making ivf with him, or trying naturally ? Is the treatment he offers similar to the vaccines by Dr Alan Beer ? If only I knew it... I went all the way to Brazil just to have these vaccines and had to stay there for two months for that... Did you try this treatment ? Is is too expensive as it is in Brazil ? To me, what really puzzles me is that we already have a daughter easily concieved, no problems at pregnancy etc.... How can that be ???

    Blossom 73, would you mind giving me Dr Matthias contact number ? Thanks so much

    Mayaus...you don't have enough posts yet to receive private messages but you can google DR Matthias and get his details really easily. Itralipids is similar to IVIG just a more easily obtained components and there are synthetic versions so more easy to obtain.

    To get IVIG in this country you have to apply to an approval board and meet certain criteria.....unless he is talking of importing synthetic IVIG which is very expensive? Intralipids are used here not a problem but IVIG is closely regulated.

    Thanks again for the comments !

    Melbel, I understand your point about the ivig being regulated here, but the fact is that I wrote an e mail to dr Nick Lolatis asking if he did ivig, and I recieved an answer by someone at his clinic also stating that Dr Matthias uses ivig. I also find amazing that he would be using it, since other doctors apparently can't. Anyway, I feel like going to see him since this is the treatment I think I need. It is just complicated having it when you are trying to fall pregnant naturally, cause from what I know you have to start just before you fall pregnant, and you never know exactly when that is when you are trying naturally. And since I am almost 41, who know how long it can take ? ( although I feel pregnant 6 times over the last 15 months ).

    Another quick question: how did you feel taking prednisone ? I am considering taking that again even before having a positive, but I just felt horrible when I took it in my last pregnancy. I couldn't sleep, have had herpes for the first time in my life, felt acelerated, moody etc... I thought the symptoms were really bad, but whatever it takes to keep my pregnancy going forward...

    Thanks Blossom 73 for the contact for Dr Matthias. I am glad to hear you like him so much !!!

    He could be using IVIG.......it is probably the imported stuff you have to pay for. I have a memory of someone else on here a while back doing that but it was costing a fair whack of money....If you feel it is the best option for you then definitely persue it. As for the prednisone...I felt great on it, had heaps of energy etc, I am one of those rare people who love it!

    Sorry to be asking so many questions, but one more thing: how is that test for nk cells in the uterus lining that doctor Sacks perfomed on you ? I have my nk cells tested only on my bloods but not in the uterus lining. Is that a test that you need anesthesy to do it ? How do they collect material to be tested ?

    Just to answer you, melbel, I read in another group that Dr Matthias used ivig made out of animal blood, so that might answer our questions about how is he using that in this country. I just found scary an ivig made out of animal blood, but he must know what he is doing...
