NK cells abnormal results

[SCHNOW]

Hi Ladies. I did the NK cells tests (both blood and endometrial biopsy) early this month and I have my results today but it seems a bit weird. The test of NK cells in blood is high but uterine NK cells is low. My doctor didn’t give the reasons how come two type of tests show opposite results but he said would need to treat for both due to my multiple MCs history. Anyone is in the same case?

I've only had NK of blood done and they were high, based on this I was then recommended to have IVIG with my 3rd cycle of IVF but it didn't work. On reflection, I wish I'd explored the evidence around NK testing and IVIG - I don't think there is a lot of evidence; so do question anything they offer based on these results. These clinics really do take advantage of our desperation sometimes. Good luck x

Thanks for your reply. My clinic offered to use Intralipid. I found the article to compare IVIG and Intralipid. I agree with you, it is a ripe off to use IVIG which costs 2000? Intralipid is much cheaper about 100 per administration (3 in total). See the link goivf.com/wp-content/themes...

So I can't be sure but I think there are two types, those that attack at implantation stage or early pregnancy and those that attack later.... I only had high levels for implantation, which I think is what you have too. If you'd had second trimester miscarriages, that would mean the other levels were higher I think that's what doctor shehata said when I saw him. Or something along those lines .

Hey I was diagnosed with the same thing. Did you get any further? I’d be interested to know which clinic although I know we’re not allowed to mention clinic names! I think it’s quite complicated from my research...

I am currently undergoing both treatments at ivf clinic and miscarriage center. Ivf clinic will proceed regular FET and miscarriage center will treatment my NK cells.
