I have high and/or elevated Natural Killer Cells, T Helper 1 &2, ANA, Pie 1 gene mutation, Antiphospholipid Antibody , IGAA
There is no way that without treatment I can keep a pregnant. I was told by Dr. Kim that my chances of heart disease are 5 times more likely, and if we do get pregnant my chances of pre-clampsia and pre term labor also go up pretty drastically.
She has suggested the dreaded IVIG and I am waiting to see if my insurance covers this medication. It is about $3,000 per infusion and we would also have to fly to Chicago to have it done the first time.
Lovenox starting on cd6 through positive pregnancy test or period.
prednisone- starting after ovulation and not sure how long
Metanex- Prescription Folic Acid, b6, b12
Metformin- 500mg every other day and then 500mg twice a day
D3-1000mg daily
Fish oil
Vitamin E -400mg daily
Aspirin 81mg daily
Endometrium for 10 days after ovulation
She said that I am one of her more severe cases and recommends the IVIG. Without insurance coverage we just can't do it. Have a lot of thinking right now and need to decide where to go from here. I will share test results on my blog when I receive them from her.
I am definitely down in the dumps this afternoon. I need some time to process and make the best out of this situation.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry to read this. I know how badly you want more children but I think this is a sign.
ReplyDeleteThe good news in all of this is you have answers that allow you to move forward planning the next steps. I hope the insurance comes through for you. The other good news is that there are several others that have gone before you, with similar issues, and have experienced success. I know it's stressful, but hang in there! I know you will figure out your next plan and make this happen!
