Nk cells blood test query

[weekitty]

Hi

I'm just wondering if anyone's had the NK Blood test with DR shahata. Is the treatment expensive with him. Do you have to have the medication prescribed from him or would your own FET clinic prescribe the meds after Dr shahatas diagnosis. I read on a mumsnet profile that the treatment is very expensive. What is usually the cost of the steroids, intralipds etc. Has anyone had treatment from him. What was your experience. Also I live in Scotland so wouldn't be able to keep travelling to the clinic frequently. Also I was planning to have a FET for the coming month. Can you still continue with the FET and get the NK cell test done.?

Anyone had any experience with Dr quenby in Coventry. In terms of cost of treatment with the biopsy.

Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have just been referred to Prof Quenby at Warwickshire Uni for NKC testing. I understand that the she will perform tests (a biopsy) for around £500 ish and then if cells are found, she will make a treatment recommendation to your clinic. The clinic will then provide treatment from that point.

I quite like that Quenbys clinic is run out of a university and so she is actively involved in the research around NKC / fertility

Thank you for your reply.I just wasn't sure if to go with Dr quenby. Its a longer process with the biopsy or to see Dr shehata for just the blood test.

I didn't want to just go straight in to another FET incase there's something underlying. Is there a waiting list to see Dr quenby?
