NK Cell testing

[AD2884]

Hi All,

After 3 failed transfers we are now looking into immune issues. Has anyone done NK Cell testing in Scotland and can offer advice of where to have this done? I am happy to travel anywhere in the UK if I can’t get it in Scotland so also welcome any recommendations in the UK. ****I know we aren’t allowed to mention clinics by name so please feel free to private message me with any suggestions.****

We are currently doing IVF on the NHS and more than happy to pay for the tests.

I'm in Scotland but don't think there is anywhere here that does them. I got a recommendation and went to London for the day. The actual tests dont take that long.

I don't know about Scotland but have a look at Warwick university - there is a research clinic that is led by Prof Brosens investigating recurring implantation failure (as well as recurring miscarriages) and they do a nk cell biopsy. I went there a few weeks ago. I think they do take nhs referals but it is probably much quicker to do it directly.

Hi yes I did the testing but I went to london for tests. I found it helped me and my results meant I had to take extra medication (different options) after taking that I had my first ever +ve test, sadly that ended in miscarriage. However after my next round of trying I got another +ve test taking the medication to combat my NK cells and that has resulted in my baby boy.
