Sleuthing - Natural Killer Cells way too high

[AnotherLaura]

Hi All,

So far on my journey, some interesting developments;

I have scheduled intraovarian PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) and LLLT (Low-level laser therapy) to commence 100 days prior to my next round of IVF....... I was told the eggs renew every 100 days.

During analysis (which I had done at a different clinic) I found out through having NK, TH1/2 (Natural Killer, Thyroid) blood tests that my Natural Killer cells are at 35%, compared to the normal range of 2-11% in females. They also found I have a tendency to clot.

Natural Killer cells: A type of immune cell that has granules (small particles) with enzymes that can kill tumor cells or cells infected with a virus. A natural killer cell is a type of white blood cell. Also called NK cell and NK-LGL.

I was told to go on Prednisolone/IV Intralipids to inhibit the NK cells and low-dose aspirin to thin the blood.

Is anyone else in the same situation? - if you are I would love to hear from you.

PRP:

Interestingly, the PRP treatment I had on Monday saw an increase of follicles from 6 to 8, so after the 2nd one I am interested to know how they're looking now. Big problem; the Doc says PRP is only effective for a couple of months. (He knew my next round is in November!!!) Which means I am clamouring to go down the natural route and incorporate these intralipids.

My clinic has never mentioned NK cells before and don't test for it. There is so much I need to know. I feel like becoming a natural killer at this rate! It's all so frustrating.

Love and light to you all. Please share your experiences if you can.

Thank you Janet,

The clinics are taking their sweet time but I'm having to go it alone as I'm unhappy with how slow things are moving. I was told I have two months to get it right. The race is on... Thank you for your comment hun! x
