Ah, escape.<BR/><BR/>As for your choice, how is someone supposed to make these kinds of decisions? It's so not fair (echoing a comment I made on Luna's blog tonight as well). <BR/><BR/>After my ectopic, I fantasized about asking the doctors to sew my tubes closed, right at the entrance to the uterus. I mean, I'm never going to use those tubes again, am I? Why not just shut the door, make sure the embryos have nowhere else to go?<BR/><BR/>Have fun on your vacation! Try to let go of everything, if even for a few days.the Babychaser:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12205229469287159556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4334852929340917200.post-46661594336734452462008-04-22T14:16:00.000-04:002008-04-22T14:16:00.000-04:00Ohh wow exciting.

My RE did say he would try starting lovenox earlier, after transfer, instead of at first positive beta. Thanks for the info on NK activity. I've heard of that but I guess a biopsy will look for those things. I think I am definitely going to get the uterine biopsy but just not sure if what they find will really change my mind on how to proceed. How do they suppress immune response- with drugs? Thanks again for the help!TABIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17012958263294398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4334852929340917200.post-58211181191668220092008-04-20T04:40:00.000-04:002008-04-20T04:40:00.000-04:00Have a wonderful trip, so glad you are taking a br...Have a wonderful trip, so glad you are taking a break. I hear you on 'forgetting that this exists in my life'. <BR/><BR/>I have a couple of comments about your RE. You have one of the antiphospholipids (forgetting MTHFR for a moment). Has he not ever recommended lovenox for you? I was kind of surprised following this last pg that you didn't mention it? I would have thought that was standard from transfer in your case. If you did I apologise if I've missed it.<BR/><BR/>I agree that it could be your uterus - you might have natural killer cell activity (I do).I had the uterine biopsy and that was how they found it. Just make sure that's what they are looking for - not LPD. I haven't heard of that estrogen priming treatment before - the usual way would be to suppress immune response.<BR/><BR/>I am just writing this in the hope that it helps. All the best.Andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173628683150350210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4334852929340917200.post-70654691832445149022008-04-19T18:08:00.000-04:002008-04-19T18:08:00.000-04:00What a fantastic trip that is going to be -- dang,...What a fantastic trip that is going to be -- dang, I'm jealous :0<BR/><BR/>Beyond forgetting IF, I hope you are also able to reconnect with more parts of yourself you haven't been able to nurture over these past years. <BR/><BR/>Taking my first extended break from all the drugs in about a year has been quite an awakening -- reminding me of my old self, too. The me that was up for adventures, expressing my creativity, etc. <BR/><BR/>Happy travels!peesticksandstoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194814462876179308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4334852929340917200.post-55987374085896447472008-04-19T17:03:00.000-04:002008-04-19T17:03:00.000-04:00HAve an amazing trip in China.
