Thought I would pop my weary head in to let you all know how things went.
Yesterday was a very long day but all went well. I took DS with me as he is still under 2 so didn't cost anything and he was good company! Loved all the plane/train/ferry rides!

NK cell test came back a defnitive positive.
Total NK cells = 20.1% - anything over 18% is considered very significant
Activated CD69+ cells =12.1- over 8.0 is a problem

The only slight confusion to results is that I am currently fighting off some viral laryngitis/chest thing plus the retained product issue
DrS said cannot be sure how these would affect results but my levels seem to high to ignore.
I am suprised by results. Truly thought I would come back with nothing but simply satisfied to have done the test.
Now I guess we might have some explanation but no one knows for sure. I have obviously had a genetic loss as well
I am certainly more content with my gut feeling to use prednisolone next pg. I now have a defnite "reason" to use and praying that it does prove to be the "answer" to producing another live bubba.
I am also going back through the grief/guilt about this last m/c. Maybe if I'd taken the pred last time (which had been discussed) my babies would still be with me. I know its not something i will ever know but not sure how to shake that "what if" guilt.
Still considering IVF/PGD as well. Spoke with DrS about it and he was all for PGD ( said as long as you can afford it!). Thinking at this stage that i would prefer to be aggressive and throw everything we have at the next pg. Maybe we dodn't need it all but i don't want any regrets if we were unlucky enough to lose another.

Mind you, can't get to caught up in thinking about next time. This bit of placenta is going to be very, very stubborn i think. Took the first dose of miso last night plus had acupuncture today..... lots and lots of nasty cramping but very little to show for it. Have one more dose of miso to use tonight so praying that produces something.
