So an update:
After another failed implantation in Dec I’ve just had my follow up consultation with my clinic.
I really like the consultant, she works both nhs & private. I think she works at the Lister , so I may follow her there. She has also recommended the fertility clinic at UCLH London .
I also had my follow up with the recurrent miscarriage clinic (nhs) . I have very high NK cells. On this occasion , it was Dr Shehata . He has recommended I go private and get 3 other blood tests (£1200) and for my husband to have sperm dna fragmentation test . This is another expense I’m skeptical about but he says it’s better to have all the tests done to rule out other issues.
These are the blood tests :
HS5 : Test for Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF alpha) also known as TH1/TH2 cytokines(£470)
HS11 : This test is a very complex test where the NK cells are put in a pregnancy like state to reflect their reaction during pregnancy and different medications are added to ascertain the treatment needed to reduce the activity level of NK cells (£ 700)
TB Quantiferon Gold Test : Your TB status is required prior to the medications being administered (£150)
What’s everyone’s thoughts . I’m thinking I’ll just do them. Then I’ll see him in a couple of weeks to decide after results what to do.
I think his ivf clinic is CRP and works along with kings in Dulwich. Any one got experience with it?
I know you can’t name anything on here but if you can message me privately I’d be really grateful. Moving clinic after 4 years is stressful but I think time to move on.
So I’m thinking CRP Epsom, The lister , UCLH .
Any advice welcome. I need hand holding with this decision 🙈
Thanks xx
