Intralipids, IVIG experience?

[WaitingforGabriel]

Hi, is there any of you who suffered from a number of implantation failures and finally achieved successful pregnancy by using intralipids / IVIG?

Any good (or bad) experiences of using them?

[Rxyfxyldy]

Yes! Me! Did 2x Intralipids and on 25mg prednisolone. Currently 5 weeks. 3 rounds of IVF and trying for 5 years. Only transfer I did with Intralipids. Could just be luck, or science 😊. Hope all goes well for you! X

Wow, that sounds so encouraging. I hope my doctor agrees with using intralipids and prednisolone as well. Congratulations. I hope you have a healthy baby soon.

Hello lovely,

I had 5 FETs all BFN, then tried the 6th with intralipids before transfer and 20mg steroids (with a euploid embryo) and it was successful.

That said, I have now done 2 FETs with exactly the same protocol and no joy. I am wondering if I need a higher dose of steroids this time as I read somewhere that after pregnancy your immune system can become even stronger...

Wonderful to hear about your success story. Thank you so much for sharing!

Also, ask if they can give you a HCG shot at transfer. You may need to pay extra, but anything is worth a try!

I never heard of HCG shot!

What does a hcg shot do?

[Rxyfxyldy in reply to Poop84]

It tricks your body thinking there’s a pregnancy already. Increases implantation rates

Aw amazing makes sense didn't know what the hcg shot on my invoice was! Makes sense! X

[Rxyfxyldy]

haha! They didn’t tell you they gave it to you? Surprise! I had it included too and I’m 8 weeks. I think my body wasn’t a fan of embryos before 😄 X
