    Recommend Dr Matthias in Sydney - reproductive immunologist

    Hi Natalieh
    Congratulations on your pregnancy!!
    I too have had a very long journey...over 6 years TTC, over 4 years IVF and suffered 5 miscarriages. I've been diagnosed with very high NK cells and am currently undergoing IVF with added treatment with Dr Gamal Matthias in Sydney. He is a reproductive immunologist and has worked with Dr Beers centre in US so uses those protocols. I will also be getting Intralipid too. I had done two cycles previously using Dr Sacks type of protocol (prednisolone & clexane) but unfortunately still miscarried both times...which is why I am very hopeful seeing Dr Matthias, I am very confident that if he cant help me then noone can cause i have literally tried everything else the other FS's have suggested in the past.
    Good luck and hope all goes well for you
    Yogi

    Natural killer cells produce a variety of cytokines capable of directly influencing trophoblast growth and hormone production as well as implantation and vascularization of the decidua. In addition, they are capable of producing immunomodulatory proteins and may therefore play a role in immunoregulation at the maternal-fetal interface.
