Its probably a good idea to get the biopsy done and know exactly how big the problem is. Just wondering how different the treatment is? Would the treatment differ depends on the level of the NK cells etc? I am doing some research at the moment and might email Dr. S some questions.

A few thoughts come to mind. First of all, Dr S is the recognised pacesetter in this field. Our friend Meredith flew up to see him and I recall her treatment was based on the BT alone. But yes, I was told by my
OB (who is also an FS specialising in recurrent MC) the NK BT result is not a reflection of NK cell levels in the endometrium. This is why the biopsy, rather than the BT, is a part of the recurrent MC Investigation Program.
But your BT result seems high so
personally I do think you are on to something. It also fits in with your TTC history as a high level of NK cells can affect implantation or cause MC. Perhaps the biopsy would help Dr S/your FS best calculate the optimal dose of prednisone for you. Might also be worth contacting Flowerchild, if you have not already as she was able to help me understand the subject a little better.
BTW - Dr S was also ethically respectful of taking any further steps with me as I am with SIVF, too.
Good luck, Cuddlepie
