IVIG success stories please!!

[wendysh96]

Hi everyone I've posted here few times and always get good responses so I'm hoping the same this time. I've gone through 1 fresh IVF and 4 FETs all resulting the same in miscarriages within first few weeks. I finally got diagnosed as having elevated NK cells which basically means my body is destroying the embryos and the only treatment is IVIG or Intrilipids. I have done 1 IVIG treatment already with no success and my dh and I decided to give it one more try as we still have 5 FEs left and can't afford to go surrogate route. So please anybody who has used IVIG treatments and became pregnant and stayed pregnant and delivered baby I'd love to hear your stories just so that I know this can actually work. I need some hope going into this FET.

Hi Wendy. It sounds like you've had a really rough time. I'm so sorry.

I have an 11 month old son as a result of a Dr. Beer protocol including IVIG (after 5 miscarriages). It's hard to say exactly what resulted in his arrival as we also did LIT, lovenox, synthroid, and dexamethasone. We're going to try for another and plan to repeat the process exactly as it was last time (although I don't need quite as much IVIG as last time as my body appears to have "righted itself" quite substantially after the pregnancy.

Best of luck to you. I was really unsure but it paid off for us.

thanks jafrizze for your comments...it's just good to hear success stories, now lets just hope that mine will end in success as well. This will be my 6th attempt so maybe that's the majic number since worked for you Thanks again, I have my FET scheduled for March 1st.

Hi, I am currently 37 weeks with a very healthy LO thanks to about 14 doses of IVIG and Dr Kwak. I previously had 4 early losses.

I put together a list some time ago when I was anxious over taking the IVIG route. Hope it helps:
