Well, it's official, I know 12 of my friends who are pregnant and they are all due one right after the other. I'm truly happy for them - but I can't help feeling a tad bit sad and depressed. Why is it that they are ALL getting pregnant and i'm still here, infertile as ever?!
I took an immunology blood test and the results came back. My natural killer cells are fine, but the level of toxins secreted by them are highly elevated -- which may be preventing from successful implantation. This could possibly be a reason why we've had 3 unsuccessful attempts. To mitigate this, we were told that I would need to take Humera during IVF treatment. Now, Humera is a drug to treat arthritis -- it reduces the body's immune system, making it more prone to sickness and etc. I don't know how much of the natural killer cells' toxins are in my body and how much damage it is doing. If anyone has any knowledge or experience in this area, please do let me know.
