(I *am* glad that your current RE is being so thorough in his testing! The fewer surprises once you actually start IVF the better. But it doesn't make this kind of news any easier to hear.)
(yes, my ire for the universe prompted me to come out of commenting hibernation)
I can't even imagine how insanely frustrated and "over it" you must feel at this point, my friend. =( Both of us know that Dr. Z has "ways" of dealings with these challenges, but that doesn't make them any easier to accept and face.
So sorry for the news, it must be a lot to bear right now. But I have hopes for you as I have seen ladies come through with these issues, with success...Hugs.
You are on my mind. Please call me anytime if you want to chat. I know other ladies doing these treatments and they would be happy to talk to you. It's scary, I'm sure, but knowledge is power. I wonder nnow (all these embies later) how it would/could could have been if we had fully tested. Big, big hugs.
OMG Melissa it seems like you just can't catch a break right now, you poor thing! =( My heart is heavy for you. You're right it can be treated, but that isn't helpful right now when you just keep getting hit left and right with bad news. Sending many hugs. I wish I could do something to help.
I'm so sorry Melissa, you have been having a really bad run lately you poor thing :-( I really hope that now they have found these things out and you can be treated for them you are that one step closer to holding that baby in your arms (((HUG)))
If it's any consolation, the hallowed CCrm does not even check those things and they're still boasting some of the highest success rates in the country---I know that isn't much but I'm trying to make u feel an itty bit better. I'm sorry for the stress you are under! Big hugs coming your way from Texas .
ugh, more yucky news.... I do agree with these other ladies that it is good to know so that you can be treated properly. I hope this news starts to sink in and you can figure out a way to move forward with a really solid treatment plan.
Happy ICLW! You're recent posts have me concerned! DH and I always assumed our only issue were MF issues, but with a failed fresh IVF and FET, plus 4 failed IUI's I've always wondered if there was something wrong with me that didn't show up on the tests. I'll be following you!!! And thinking of you along the way!!
Oh hun I'm so sorry you got this news. Of course when you're ready to dive back into things, you get handed something like this. Sending you lots of strength and support right now. Hang in there.
Well, shit. That isn't the best news, now is it? That completely sucks. I know that looking at the silver lining in this cloud isn't what you are doing right now, so I won't be a cheerleader for the benefits of at least knowing what you are facing. Instead, I will curse the universe.
Sorry Melissa, this really just sucks. But I know you'll get there. None of these things are insurmountable. This IF shit isn't for the faint of heart though. Big hugs.
The universe is on a roll and it appears to be trying to roll right over you. Screw you, universe! I wish I could offer some advice, but I am new to the ALI world and still trying to figure out how to put myself back together after the universe kicked my ass.
I love your 100 things and I will have to try it instead of obsessing about my uterus and my husband's testicles.
I am sorry to hear that the test results weren't that great, but I am glad that you have an RE who seems to be on top of things. GL as you move forward!
Please don't get down on this diagnosis. My RE treated me with IVIG therapy that reduced my killer cell levels. And I have a beautiful, thriving 2 year old to show for it.
IVIG was expensive, however, but my RE now uses a much cheaper therapy called Intralipid. Perhaps your RE will suggest the same.
What a pain in the ass this news is! I'm really sorry that your conception efforts are "getting it from both ends," as it were. I hope this all proves deal-with-able without too much distress.
I also have elevated NK cells and will be doing Intralipids this cycle. My RE believes in this but other Dr.'s don't so I don't know what to believe...its all so frustrating!!

Frackin' universe! And *HUGS* to you.
I'm so sorry. Even if they can be treated, it is such a blow to receive unexpected news like that.

Sorry to hear that. It must be so tough to keep getting bad news. Things have to improve for your soon!!!
I heart you.

The universe needs to quit throwing shit at you. This sucks, Melissa. I am so sorry.

I would be fired up right now. Getting all these test results AFTER being through 6 iui's? What was up with your prior RE.
I'm so sorry Melissa, you have been having a really bad run lately you poor thing :-( I really hope that now they have found these things out and you can be treated for them you are that one step closer to holding that baby in your arms (((HUG)))
I felt the same way after I was diagnosed. People kept telling me to be glad that it was treatable but, well, that's now how I felt at all.
(((HUGS)))...hoping you're able to come to terms with things and have a good plan set up to help you deal with this diagnosis.

Well shit - that just sucks. But on the bright side, treatment beats being in the "unidentified infertility" category right?

Mother Nature, you are a BITCH!!!
Hang in there. Love you.
Uggh...crappy news. :(
I guess it is good you have some answers....but still sucks.
It seems like a lot of the women on the blogs I read have this problem. Is this the one where they have to do the intralipid infusions?
Hope things get better for you!! *hugs*
So sorry.
I am supposed to be getting this testing done also...

I cannot imagine how you must be feeling. ((HUGS))

Ugh!! One more thing to add to the list.
I also have elevated NK cells and will be doing Intralipids this cycle. My RE believes in this but other Dr.'s don't so I don't know what to believe...its all so frustrating!!
Hang in there!!
So sorry you got that news. Sucks!
