[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also one of the immune PPs in this thread and was on Neupogen and intralipids - but not 7:34.  I don't think you should listen to the PP here.  They treat different things entirely.  Highly doubt I would have had successful pregnancies on one or the other - I definitely needed both.  Trust your doctors and stick to the protocol they set for you.

I agree that nothing you wrote looks like Neupogen is necessary - lovenox, prednisone and IL seem like the big ones here and are used to treat the clotting and NKs.[/quote]

what kinds of things would be a red flag for Neupogen?[/quote]

low Tregs and I also have some genetic factors that impact my body's ability to recognize the embryo.  Neupogen allows better tolerance in the uterine environment by increasing the number of T regulatory cells in the uterine lining, thereby making it easier for your body to recognize the embryo is not a form of "altered self" ie cancer that needs to be destroyed.[/quote]

Thanks.  I've had the immune bloodwork but don't have anything labeled "Tregs" on mine.  Do they have another name or series of letters/numbers associate with them?[/quote]

There are many different kinds of Tregs.  I think on your tests they may be listed as CD25+ CD4+ but that also depends on if you go through RFU or Reprosource.  Just one cell subset doesn't tell the whole story, I think your doctor would also look at the FoxP3 in conjunction to determine if yours are in the normal range.  This is why it's good to make sure you are seeing a doctor who knows how to interpret these tests.  [/quote]
