Re: Natural killer cells????
I don't have NK cells but the treatment (depending on the dr) is usually IVIg or steroids
I have done IVIg for other immune reasons

Yes. I was treated with low dose prednisone until 15 weeks pregnant and have a healthy one yr old thanks to these treatments....I think. Ivig would have been my next step.
Its all very controversial, I got many opinions and most thought NKa was was a crock.
Good luck everyone! Fm me if you want more info.

Ditto except I am still PG and stopped prednisone at 18 weeks. I was advised to use IVIG but could not afford it. It would have been about $2500 per treatment and we would have needed five or so. A great resource is Dr. Beer's website(just google I think its repro-med.com but not sure)
