The most recent study I could find on pubmed (Korean study): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5395546/ is recommending treatment with IVIG when you have cytotoxitity or "cellular immune abnormalities", which you have. I think you go with what you know at this point and stop looking for reasons it won't work.

Thanks. I am more nervous to stay on IVIG than to go off it, just because I had 2 pregnancies without anything like that, and now that my betas are good I kinda consider myself back to where I was with the other 2 pregnancies. But as long as it can't hurt, why not double down on my precautions???

ok now my immunology guy is waiting to see what the bloods come back at, what the levels are, to determine if I even need a second dose of IVIG. does anyone ever do just one dose of IVIG before a BFP and that's it?

Just finished the IVIG I'm so paranoid I did the wrong thing but hopefully it either does nothing or can only help and can't hurt anything:.. like hopefully it can't abort the pregnancy - it feels weird doing that while pregnant

stop with the paranoia already. you are paying your doctor for their expertise. you've researched it, made an informed decision, now its time to move on. if you have anxiety go talk to a therapist.

in my estimation about 20% of recent posts in this forum have been written by the OP. it's always the same story - she has two children, it's her third child, had several chemical pregnancies, used all her blasts, now using IVIG blah blah blah.

i get it that she needs support but a lighter touch is needed.

OP, I say this from a place of empathy: find something else to focus on that is fulfilling and therapeutic for you. My DW goes through books like they are oxygen - she's had several losses and even more IVF cycles. I have thrown myself into gardening and tending our yard (because I'm not the pregnant one). You are doing what you and your doctors think is best, but you know as well as any of us that this is largely out of your control. I also take solace in the one child we do have and try to redirect my nervousness into having more meaningful interactions with him. So much of the last two years was focusing on the family we wanted and not the family we had, which really messed with me emotionally. I hope this pregnancy is successful for you.

We don't use the "MENTS" terminology here but I think you still have to be aware of the experiences of others.

oh you are here, too? whenever OP posts there is another poster (i think) who comes in and aggressively defends OP and attacks others.

as a matter of history and fact, most people on this forum have no children or one child. that you would call these people "bitter and jealous" while parading with your two-three children is completely inappropriate, to put it mildly. in fact both of you should be banned.

as a mom of two who wants a third, i understand that is a frustrating situation as well. but i don't parade around with my children, post ten questions a day or call others names because the have dared to voice criticism.

New poster: to actually answer OP's questions since that's what she actually wants, I think IVIG is generally considered safe during pregnancy

omg snarky much? why is everyone on this board in SUCH a bad mood?

i agree with PPs. OP NEEDS some therapy and maybe an SSRI for anxiety. but that's not what she's asking. i just don't understand why OP is asking us instead of her RE?
