I know how NK cell affect implantation and rerurrent m/c is a big debate in the medical world since 60's before I went in for my appt. So when I presented my result to my current FS today and he is on the other side, he showed me a few research showing "The function of NK cells in pregnancy is unknown' and "Use of powerful therapies to reduce levels of NK cells in women with infertility or recurrent m/c is unjustified and is associated with known side effects to mother and fetus'.

He thinks based on my history, the effect of my fibroid presents more significance than treating something that is not proven. He listed all the side effect for steroid such as raised insulin and diabetes etc, He said he'd be happy to treat it only the benefit is greater than the risk, but in my case, he thinks its all risks with unknow benefit.

One one hand, I do have great respect and relationship with my FS and agree with his logic (DH is with him as well), on the other, I am disappointed that the only thing we found out that gives me hope seems disappearing again. He is happy for Dr. Sacks to treat it and said he is not an expert in this area regarding treatment plan because of his belief.

When I first saw my result, I was kind of happy at least we found out sth that is wrong so we can treat it, never known, we are now in this predicament ....

I had an impression that low dose of Prednisone is not a problem and safe with obviously so many of you are on it, I argued with DH even it MIGHT NOT (but possibly might) help with my situation its pre-caution to try the treatment, but obviously he thinks if there is no root of the problem, why try the "poison"?

I am getting that book written by Dr. Alan Beer that Melbel recommended this weekend, so will try to find some answers there.

I really don't know what to do atm....*sign*
