    Hi Melbel,

    Firstly congratulations on your preganancy. This is such a exciting time for you.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

    May I please ask was your Test; the blood test or the biopsy ?

    My test results for Total NK Cells (CD3- 56+) = 6.8%
    But at the time of the test I was very sick with Pluracy and on antibiotics. I did tell my doctor at the time I was sick but they said it was o.k.
    I have since spoken to the ladies in the lab that do the test and they told me that I should not have done the test when I was sick and on antibiotics and that you should only do the NK Cell Test when your 100% healthy.
    I will be redoing the test mid February 2010.

    I can't find much information regarding, Activited (CD69+) dim NK’S = 2-1% = 4.2 x 10 6/L and what is safe percentage levels.

    You mentioned that you are taking Prednisone/Clexane, when did you start take them, what sort of dosage are you on and for how long do you take it for ?
