[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I've conceived and carried to term two health babies since being diagnosed with immune issues. I was put on a proactive protocol. Since I was found to have overly active NK cells, my doctor put me on prednisone BEFORE conception and I stayed on it all through the pregnancy. Prednisone helped to suppress my immune system so that my body would finally stop attacking my embryos. (I had two first trimester miscarriages before learning of my immune problems.) Prednisone was a God send for me. Be sure to connect yourself with a strong medical team. I worked with an RE and also a maternal fetal medicine specialist. Have you already been tested for possible blood clotting disorders? If not, I strongly suggest that you do so before trying to conceive again. Blood clotting issues can also contribute to miscarriages. I experienced this personally and was successfully treated with blood thinners during my two successful pregnancies. A wonderful book to read about immune problems and miscarriage is "Preventing Miscarriage: The Good News" by Dr. Jonathan Scher. The book was SO helpful that my husband and I decided to travel from MD to NYC to meet with him for a consultation. He ended up establishing the protocol that my local doctors followed. The book really helped me to understand the intricacies of immune issues and how to manage them during pregnancy. I thank God for connecting me with that book - it literally changed my life, and I am the mother of two living children now because of it. Good luck to you, OP! [/quote][/quote]
