Ivig and Intralipids

babee · 04-03-2009, 01:08 PM

Hi, I am new to this board. I am curious if anyone on this board has tried a combination of both IVIG and Intralipid? I was told I need to do 2 doses of IVig and in order to cut costs, I was wondering if I could do one dose of Intralipids and then about a week later one dose of Ivig?

Interesting question but I'm not sure if anyone has ever done the doubling up altho' I could see how it would prove most cost efficient over straight Ivig.

Hope your docs can reassure and talk to you more about this...

I have done 2 cycles of IVF both with Intralid. Unfortunately, the both failed. Now my doctor wants me to do IVIG. I don't think they mix the two. I think they would want to repeat the same protocol after you got pregnant.

I am definitely interested in learning more about IVIG.
