[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely think high TNF indicates an issue and also probably a need to look out for RA in the future, potentially.  Maybe not IVIG specifically but IVIG will definitely lower your TNF.  Humira, Remicade, and Simponi don't work for everyone which is why I think those treatments aren't used as much anymore.  IVIG is the best thing you can do for that.

My NKs weren't terrible and my TNF wasn't terrible and I had many CPs and many miscarriages.  I also know several others who had losses in 2nd trimester due to their immune issues.  Those early days during implantation are so crucial for things going well.  Best to find the issues and treat them then to have something happen later.   [/quote]

Thanks I'm the poster who has 2 kids from prior FET but I only have 1 PGS normal embryo left and deciding whether to do IVIG - I've had a 4 total chemical pregnancies while trying for my 2 kids, but nothing past 4.5 weeks (3 of the 4 were PGS normal).  My 2 live births were totally normal/fine without any immune treatment.

Would intralipids be ok or do I need IVIG ?

If you are just dealing with TNF intralipids will not be effective for that.  So, I'm guessing you would need to be on prednisone as well.  IVIG is good because it treats TNF and NKs and also increases your Tregs.[/quote]

p here: I was told my t regs are "very good"

Yes my last cycle we did prednisone with the Intralipid[/quote]
