Hi lovely people please can anyone help. A friend of mine has had a few Ivf cycles that unfortunately were BFN's. She had testing done for high nk cells and the tests came back High.

Her question is when should she re test after her last dose of intralipid? she has had 3 doses of Intralipid and prednisone 20 mg for a month?

Hi lovely.

I had my nk cells tested 2 years ago and my result was slightly raised so my fertility specialist has authorised me to take prednisone during the first 12 weeks of a pregnancy. I haven’t needed to repeat the test either.

I can’t comment on intralipid as I didn’t need to use that as it wasn’t that high.

Good luck to your friend hope it makes a big difference personally I think high nk can have a negative affect on fertility/pregnancy 😍 xoxo

Hey hun I was testsed at warick and covenrty hospital for nk cells. My first test came back as high and my second test came back as normal. I was told to take 20 mg from day of transfer for predisnole. I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and have my scan next week. Praying everything is ok as I have no symptoms. X
