Thank you for your answers.

I have to repeat the blood test for a third time (at 3 month intervals) to see if it is an infection/bug that clears up on its own before I get any other tests.

Google says that there is a fertility doctor in London that treats with low dose steroids.

All other tests show that my OH SA is good, my tubes are clear, I am ovulating but have irregular cycles. I have my IVF assessment at the end of May, do you think that this is something they will treat? I am worried that our only IVF chance will not work because my immune system attacks an embryo that tries to implant.

hi, i have just ead your post and i think is is the same as i am going to get tested for, high natural killer cells, if that is the case i know of 2 on here who have been treated for that and been successful, i have had 5 icsi's and 4 m/c so my next step is to be tested for high nkc's, our clinic does the tests but the blood is couriered to chicago, also doctor shahar has a clinic in london where people are treated for this

Omg clomid is a f***er!

Delayed my period by 5 days. Had pre AF headache for three days now the worse cramping that reminds me of my periods as a teenager.
Evil!

Lots of good luck tea lover!

My experience was very easy. I do like a good general anaesthetic. Its a very relaxing escape from life! My biggest worry was that they would weigh me in front of DH. The silly things we worry about.

Actually... it's been a GA free month for me. First since November! And before that I had never had one. Such a strange few months it has been.

Good luck tea lover!

Wtdn, I've fallen out of love with clomid too... Just couldn't cope with even the idea of taking it this cycle, so didn't.

Good luck firefly, you've got me wondering though, cos my immune system can be rather crazy cos of my conditions (including endo as well as others)... Sigh, this really does seem impossible. Maybe we'll just end up having a house of waifs and strays and foster kids...?

T2d :T for GA free!

Granted - that means its been a good operation free month, but at the same time - I do like the complete escapism! Since I don't have to be 'good' I'm indulging instead in Red Wine therapy tonight.

Good to see you think you have ov'd this month. Did you BD at the right times? When is the next FS step for you - assuming you go with the Clomid next month.

Fingers firmly crossed for you tea(coffee)lover. Will be thinking of you xxxx

Yay for being GA free T2D - I like red wine much better than operations :cool:

I had my NKC test done in The Lister Hospital in London and cost me £550, worth every penny when they realised I had high killer cells. They tested it againt the 3 methods that they use to reduce it we went for the less evasive one, steroids, 2nd time using them it worked but also it was a frozen one and we used assisted hatching. We were treated for this at our local clinic.
