hi all,
Looking for some info on what Intralipids they infused for you? What was the actual medicine and how many mg? I will ask my clinic but trying to figure out whether it is a generic dose like the Prednisolone 25mg/ Dexamethasone 0.5mg or is it individualises dosage of intralipids?
thank you so much for sharing!
Hi
I've had intralipids a few times now - its not actually a medication so there is no brand name. Think of it more like a vitamin booster that helps supress your immune system/ NK cells. Theres very little scientific research to support the efficacy but when you are desperate for a baby you're willing to try anything - especially when its recommended by the consultant. I think the dosage is a standard one. It takes about 45min in the clinic to be infused through an IV drip.
I had intralipids with my last FET and will have it twice with this FET. Not sure about dosage I can share once I get it again. But the one I took had to be given slowly drop by drop and I stayed in a hospital for 10 hours hooked to the drip. It was fun, I was in a maternity unit and all night I've listened to crying newborn babies 😅🙈
Be guided by what your clinic tells you as they know your history, blood results etc. They will be able to answer any questions you have, and this will help put your mind at rest

I had an intra-lipid infusion yesterday. It was administered via an intravenous drip and took between an hour and an hour and a half. My paperwork/invoice states "Intralipid intravenous infusion (100ml, 20%) administered". That was my first one of this cycle. It is planned that I will have another one in the two week wait and another one if I get a BFP.
Same - 100ml/ 20%. took about an hour x
Intralipids during FET. Who has had them?
Intralipids 
Immune protocol
Donor eggs/embryos and reproductive immunology did you need/do both for success?
What did you do differently?
