[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:40, how did you arrange for the treatment?  Who prescribed it?  Did Walgreens give you the equipment to do it at home?

For which immune disorders are intralipids prescribed?  I know I don't have an implantation issue, I get pregnant but it dies after the first heartbeat.  If intralipids will help, I am more than happy to do them.  As I understand it (research so far), you only have to do a couple of intralipid infusions.[/quote]

10:40 poster here again. Dr Abbasi prescribed the treatment; I called Walgreens to schedule an in-home visit. They provided the equipment.
My immune issues were diagnosed by Dr Braverman. I did 2 Neupogen cycles with him, he also put me on steroids and lovenox. I could not afford to cycle with him and did not want to travel out of town for cycles anymore. Dr Abbasi is the only local RE i have found who is willing to test for and treat immune issues.

DH and I have multiple HLA matches; I have Hashimoto's, elevated cytokines and NK cells. All these in addition to severe endometriosis that has caused a severe DOR. Never been pregnant, not even a chemical. If you do get pregnant but miscarry, there is a chance that it is due to immune issues. There is a ton of info on Dr Breverman's website.

Intrallipids are done before retrieval, after positive beta and then every 6 weeks, I believe. So not too much trouble in terms of frequency. It’s an IV that the nurse will set up in your home or work place. it takes 3-4 hours to transfuse (sp?).

Happy to answer any other questions.

NP here.  PP, have you had the beta-3 integrin test?  I have most of the same issues you do--severe endo, DOR, NK cells, thyroid & clotting issues.  I too had never had a positive pregnancy test until I combined immune treatment AND a 3 month course of Lupron Depot prior to transfer.  Beta-3 integrin problems are highly correlated with endometriosis.  [/quote]
