18w2d IVIG #6

Today I was told that I would not have anymore IVIG treatments. I was supposed to go to 23 weeks and I'm only at 18 weeks. The doctor said that since I started at 3 weeks instead of at 5 weeks and that the baby is measuring ok, I should be fine. I am very wary about stopping 5 weeks early and with only 6 treatments instead of 7, but they said I could do intralipids (which is egg, soybean, and other things) next time.

Stats

• BPD is 4.31 cm (19w1d).
• AC is 13.33 cm (18w7d).
• FL is 3.13 cm (19w6d).

Again, I was told that it was a girl but my husband is still in denial. Intralipids is often done instead of IVIG because it's cheaper. It also has similar results as IVIG, but only in the case where there is no known reason for miscarriages. Since we know that I have high NK cells, IVIG is supposed to be better. This is IVIG #6 and my last treatment. The IVIG is a 5% solution of 300 ml, which is 15 gr of IVIG.

I'm taking fish oil and Wobenyzme N, both of which are supposed to suppress NK cells and some people have said it's a natural alternative to IVIG or intralipids.

15w2d and IVIG #5

I did another round of IVIG. This is number 5. The IVIG is a 5% solution of 300 ml, which is 15 gr of IVIG. They also did a Fragile X syndrome screening and Quad test and said I would get the results in a week or so. (Edit: Everything is normal.) The baby is growing just fine and is measuring a few days ahead. We were told it was a girl, but my husband says it's too early to tell.
